Another tip: read the “avoid scams” section of any website before you make a purchase (eg. EBay http://reviews.ebay.com/Ebay-Scams-14-things-you-MUST-know_W0QQugidZ10000000001410441?ssPageName=BUYGD:CAT:-1:SEARCH:4  or Craig’s List http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams).  

Be a smart consumer and don’t let those criminals make you a victim.
