In defense of these so-called "scammers" I can say that I'm a used online hi-fi purveyor myself. It's a perfectly legitimate business you know! People who are too lazy to browse the internet themselves hire me to surf Audiogon and buy audio equipment for thousands more than the asking price using broken english. It's a fantastic line of work and I make a good living doing it. It works out great too because many of my clients also do not have enough free time to actually listen to the stuff I buy for them and they end up selling it at a massive loss, the sale of which I also facilitate. Also, many of the e-mails my clients send me about what they might be interested in are full of correct grammar and spelling. This does not look right when dealing with people on Audiogon, so I make sure to rewrite some of the more coherent parts.
