heres a couple of things to look out for,
First is this site http://www.charityfirstauctions.com/ ( not linked on purpose) the SSL for the site is not verifiable and there is another security issue wht IE7 phishing tools caught.
Another is for anyone doing any kind of auctions or web classified sales, see this link to craigslist post about a USPS MO scam.

I posted my camera and I have gotten several responses from the following email addresses:

They use different email addresses and names everytime. Don't send them your stuff or money! They say they are deaf, but they could always email you a time and date to pick up the sale item.
I heard of a friend of mine who fell for their scam. He got the money order, deposited it in his bank, sent the item to the person, and then a couple of days later his bank rejected the money order, and the person was nowhere to be found. I recommend everyone to do "Cash Only" transactions. (Check out the emails they sent me below.)

Thanks for your prompt reply. Since you have assured me that it still available, i would have love to call you but am deaf i can't talk. I will be making my payment through (USPS) United State Postal Money Order.
This is how it works, as soon as i make the payment with (USPS), they will contact you via email or mail and as soon as it's approved. It's safe and secured, because once payment is approved, it gives you the opportunity to monitor the payment details directly from USPS and it's for sure that the seller or whoever that's involve will definately receive the money order, so that's why it takes them hours to approved payment after pending.........So, in that case as soon as my payment is approved by (USPS), i will like to ship the item immediately with my fedex account. And i will like to offer $200.00 for the stress you might have go through before getting the stuff, if you are willing to sell it for me.
As for the shipping, you don't have
to pay a dime for it cos i will be responsible for the shipping cost to the destination. Upon approval of payment, i will send you the fed-ex pre-paid shipping label and invoice which you will need for the shipping of the package, you will print them out and paste it on the packaging box then you will have the package drop-off at your nearest fedex location. Thanks and hope to read from you if this is okay by you.
Note: Also let me have your full name and address as it will be written on the money order.
Regards,
April.
