Scammers in QL

Hi All, 

Beware of presence of scammers in QL. Recently I received 3 scam emails from different persons, one of them related to my advertise in QL. We should all pay attention to whom we respond and give our personal data. Mostly when money is involved. I just copy-paste a message that I received on my personal email with regards to scam protection:

**IMPORTANT**
Before you start receiving responses, please be careful not to fall for scam messages sent in response to your ad. The best way to avoid scams is by dealing locally with someone you can meet face to face. Never give a buyer your financial information and be very wary of wire transfers, money orders, cashier checks, escrow accounts, or any other form of dealing in which you cannot meet the buyer in person to conduct a deal. If a buyer sounds fishy or too good to be true, they probably are!

It was a brand new online fraud method for me so I wanted to share it with as many as possible.

Take care!

I also want to warn everybody: there are murderers and rapists out there in the streets. There are reckless drivers, too. Doctors without accreditation, and dictators who kill their own people.I just wanted to share this with as many as possible.Take care!
