Just when you think you’ve heard it all, there is a new email version of an old Internet scam.
“Scam artists have now gravitated from the mails to the Internet,” said FBI Director Robert Mueller.
Mueller was in Indianapolis just last week, warning Hoosiers about the potential dangers lurking in cyberspace. The latest scam involves email responses to ads posted on eBay, the popular on-line auction site.
The scam works like this: you post an ad on eBay trying to sell something and you get a response that meets your price. If the buyer says he’ll send you a cashiers check or money order that’s over the amount of your asking price, watch out, it’s likely a scam.
