I have received several "interesting" offers to buy some parts of my collection and I am sure that a few are pure scam. An interesting thing is that some of those "interesting" offers share a common part of the email address. The common part is yahoo.com. I am not sure about the common element, but I suspect that some folks are using a yahoo mail "box" while their actual home email would be in some other area of the world. I can not verify these messages as being scammers at work, but I am worried. Some interested buyers have included their office or home addresses and phone numbers. I might be wise to gather more more solid information before making or accepting any offers. It is a shame that we are dealing with fraud at both the seller and buyer ends of our transactions. I would love to see someone come up with a great way of protecting us at both ends.
