Terry, I got one with the exact same words, except it said Sierra Session instead of Hwy 1 Strat. This guy sends a lot of these using the name Peter Anderson. Wish there was a way to catch him, I guess let every one know about him.

According to my bank, the bad guys are getting very good at counterfiting POSTAL MONEY ORDERS as well as CASHIERS CHECKS. My bank sees about $6000 a month in counterfit checks come through. Wire transfer seems the safest, or just a personal check. Don't ship until ANY check clears the bank. If the bad guy's postal money order or cashiers check bounces, the bank will cover themselves out of YOUR account. So, don't ship OR spend that money until the bank clears the check. Anyone honest won't mind a few days for things to clear.

People, Just to clarify things again, do NOT send your scam emails to b0b Lee - the Forum Administrator, rather, send them to me, Bobby D. Hunter. I am the security officer for the SGF. I track down Slimeball Game on your behalf. b0b is busy keeping the Forum online and has no time for dealing with tracking down scammers. I do. Send them to me as attachments so I can read the full original headers.

I got those same emails for a GFI Economy I have for sale, I 'smelled' a rat right off & new it had to be a scam. Be careful who you try & sell your things to, theres plenty of 'crooks' out there looking for the unsuspecting soul!!

There is no need to forward Peter Anderson or Tim Peters emails that arrived between July 12 through 15, as I have tracked the source and taken action already. I would be interested in any with a timestamp of July 16 (PDT), or later, as they might lead me to a new ISP to block.
Remember that the headers are more important than the message body (for my purposes), so either forward the originals as attachments, or copy and paste the full headers only into a new message to me. My email address can be found from the Send Email link.
