| Auction Scams "R" Us |  | Auction sites are a breeding ground for every possible scammer there is. The procedure is fairly simple: you find somebody who has something you want, you win the auction and then ask for the product to be sent to your place (at this point it would be great to have a ‘rented’ PO box at a post office) and never pay for it. You’d be surprised how many people fall for this.
