Hi guys,

Where can I find or download Macross Saga opening song? pls advice

don't know about AMEX or anything in Singapore, but I have always heard that you should stay away from anything using a Western Union Transfer.

All the crooks/scammers/etc. use it to rip people off because you never know who is on the other end of the Western Union Transfer.

Paypal has it's ups and downs. If you're in Singapore, does your bank accept money orders made out in US funds? I don't know if the USPS gives out money orders in other currency, come to think of it, i don't even know if my bank will do money orders or checks in other currency? Usually, most places I buy from out of the country take US funds through Paypal. Someone from Australia just payed me in US funds with a money order, so I assume their banks will accept funds in US currency. ??

I'm currently investigating 4 separate incidents in which people got scammed into cashing checks for some out of the US country business and then using Western Union to transfer money.

I mean, here's the gist of the scam.

Hi, I'm from so and so company, we cannot set up a US bank account, so if possible, you can collect checks from companies that owe us money, and you cash it, keep 10% and Western Union the rest to us.

And of course, all the checks they get are bogus. I mean, oooo, here's a $3000 check, I deposit it in my account, and then drive over to western union and transfer $2700 to so and so in whatever country. WTF? Come on people, if it's too good to be true, it IS! Not to mention, some of these people gave away ALL their important info, like SSN, Bank Account and Routing #s, mother's maiden name, etc. Sheesh! I'm pretty sure there's a few dozen people out there now with your identity.

I heard someone out there was trying to do this type of scam with paypal payments. It will never end.

I don't sell often, i mainly buy, but here's my paypal info:

Other Tips:

I stay away from anything with a P.O. Box. If someone pushes it, I tell them, give me your real name and address first so I can send you a letter, when you get it in 2 to 3 days, send me an email with the sentence I wrote in it so I can verify that you are real. If you are legit, you can afford to wait 3 extra days for payment.

Never send a m/o or check with no name on it.

Any money orders or checks I get, I actually look over it with a magnifying glass to make sure it's not a fake. I usually don't ship stuff out until a day or two after I make the deposit, unless it's someone I've dealt with before or someone who's got a good rep on here.

NEVER SEND CASH! I've been seeing more ebay auctions where a seller will accept cash and even tells you to send it in a certified letter. It's still CASH through the mail. If you've got the CASH, you can spend an extra $0.75-$1 to get a money order from the post office. The m/o is cheaper than certified mail.

Make copies of any checks/money orders you get and store it. Save your receipts.

If you use USPS, and you get ripped off, the post office can help you track it. I and a bunch of us were ripped off by chajah808 way back when, and I didn't keep any of my receipts, so the post office couldn't help me track down that SOB. It was only $35, but that's $35 I could spend on something else. But he better be wary, I'm still trying to make contacts out in Hawaii. There's nothing like having the blues in blue harass you. We know how far the law allows us to do things...here's a ticket for obstructed view, that pine air freshener is blocking your view... hmmm....crack in your windshield? that's an unsafe motor vehicle, it's gotta be towed. i'm sure you've all heard of attitude tickets too.

Also, with paypal, watch out for delaying tactics from people not shipping. I always ask, hey, shoot me an email when you ship. If I hear nothing for a week, I send another email, if I hear nothing again that week, I get serious and send an email saying, respond with shipping info/tracking info in 48 hours or I cancel payment. After 30 days, paypal isn't much help. Guy sold me something on ebay for $14, but figured he could get more for it, so he just delayed and delayed, but he had decent feedback, then after 30 days, i hear nothing and then all sorts of negative feedback starts popping up for the guy, so basically, get things settled in the first two weeks. Unless you choose some SLOW type of shipping from overseas, it should get to you w/i 2 weeks tops. UPS and FEDEX ground shipments take about 1 week to get from the east coast to the west coast usually and vice versa. USPS Priority takes 2-3 days.

For sellers: might as well pay the extra insurance. 90% of the time you won't need it, but for peace of mind, I'll spend the extra $1-$3 or whatever.

The ONE time I didn't use insurance with UPS, my package got to it's destination, somehow during transit, the box broke?? open and one item was taken/fell out. At first, I didn't believe the buyer, but he sent me security footage from his company of the UPS guy coming in with my package, it was busted and retaped badly. I sent the guy another one, and UPS told me, hey, things happen in transit, if you don't insure, we can't do anything about it.

If UPS/FedEx come to your door with a package that has obviously been busted up/tampered with, refuse delivery, or open it in front of the deliverer to make sure everything is ok.

sorry for the long winded post, incorrect spelling, bad grammar, etc.
