Hi All I posted on Mr Pinball for a few Fathom Pop Bumber Caps and targets and look at this email I got:
Hello and thanks for the mail.I have pop bumper targets for sale in excellent condition.I would not be able to send pics cos i recently formatted my computer and i lost all datas.I would be asking a 100GBP for it including postage cost as i would be shipping via Ups or FedEx which ever you prefer and would accept payment via Western union or Money gram.Whats your shipping address?
Mark
Here is his email address - marksonleo2009@yahoo.com I bet he doesn't even know what a pop bumper is. I assume 100 GBP is British Pounds! Yikes.

A scammer on Mr Pinball! No way!! (Insert Sarcasim here)
I know we are all about protecting each other from scammers and that is all well and good but at some point you just have to use common sense. These types of scames have been around for so long now I find it impossible to belive that everyone doesn't know about them by now.
I would honestly be more suprised if you put up an ad on Mr pinball and DIDN'T get contacted by a scammer.
