I haven't gotten any of those etsy convos, guess they aren't interested in any of my stuff, it's not expensive enough for them...Thankfully ! :D<br />Glad you reported it to etsy, sometimes we are inclined to just delete the message and let it slide but if they are not reprimanded or thwarted in any way they'll just keep doing it. As you point out it is up to us to make it as difficult as possible for these scammers to continue doing what they do.Almost Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349435936032378395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218070340756803952.post-47683377447709634002010-03-15T10:11:17.385-07:002010-03-15T10:11:17.385-07:00I've read of happening to other Etsy sellers a...I've read of happening to other Etsy sellers and I'm sorry it happened to you too but glad you knew it was a scam!

Also, the english is usually blatantly wrong, so you know it's probably the same people you see on Dateline or 60 minutes that are all in a room full of computers reaching out to millions of people asking for a bank account number so they can give you loads of free money... yeah right.<br /><br />Don't you just want to write back and tell them off? You did the right thing, though. They are getting more devious though going through Etsy.<br /><br />I like your Mr. Keep Your Nose Clean ;)Jaime Haneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13839361431109715942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218070340756803952.post-79032919437028698542010-03-15T09:05:36.051-07:002010-03-15T09:05:36.051-07:00It's a sad world T.
