That is why the jails are full, law enforcement has their hands full, and everyday people are left not trusting anybody. Sad thing is that a minority of people are flagrant law breakers. Obviously, some of break the speed limit by a little bit each day, but we aren't trying to scam people.
My ex-girlfriend's niece's boyfriend was selling PS2's on E-bay several years ago when they are really hot. He was selling them for $300 a piece and having the checks mailed to a PO Box. However, he wasn't shipping any PS2's because he didn't have any (i.e., it was scam). Needless to say, law enforcement got him one day while he was checking the PO Box. What an idiot. I am surprised that E-bay doesn't have really strict guidelines for selling stuff on it. I am also surprised that they do not require people to post a bond if they sell a lot of pricey stuff or just happen to be selling one single item that is really pricey. Along with all the good the internt provides, it is a haven for fraud and other criminal activity.
