Another Scammer sending "Payment invoices" to bidders specifying Western Union wire payment (WESTERN UNION WIRE PAYMENT IS A HUGE SCAMMER RED FLAG).

He is able to do this by monitoring current auctions, observing bidder nicknames then combining bidder nickname as part of email address with @msn.com, @aol.com, @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, etc., hoping to get a lucky hit and catch a sucker.

PLEASE do not use your nickname as the first part of your registered email address!

Bubba J The first one is the spelling of "Payment", spelled "paiment". To many more to list. Real sharp cookies they are. A blind person could sniff this out as a scam.

jessmoon After awhile you begin to spot these guys as frauds and cheats, they just sound fishy. As always err on the side of caution.

5thcommjarhead Wow. I'm crushed. All this time I thought that everybody in Romania was a straight-up guy and they just wanted you to send it via WU because a USPS MO won't work there.

What's next? Santa Claus is a scammer?
