Not saying that you are one of them, but there are far too many dodgy people out there to take a risk like that.

A fella I work with managed to CANCEL A BANK CHEQUE for $28000 after paying for an alleged LH SLR5000 Torana. Paid for it on the Friday night with bank cheque. Found out over the weekend it was only a tarted up G PAK Torana. Phoned the seller, got abused, threatened etc. Police called. Monday morning, the seller presented the bank cheque to his own bank, thinking he had scammed 28K out of my mate, only to be told that a police intervention had been put on the said bank cheque and the funds were frozen until further notice..............
Yes, this is an extreme case, under special circumstances, but it has only confirmed for me that real cold hard cash is still the ONLY proven real deal!
