Someone Tried to Scam me on my Amazon.com Sale!

Tweet

I was selling my Minolta SLR camera through Amazon.com so I can save up some money to replace it with a digital version. It had been almost a month and I hadn't had anyone who had expressed interest till a couple of days ago. They e-mailed me through the Amazon.com site to inquire about it and somehow managed to send a bogus confirmation e-mail. The e-mail address didn't look quite rite because it wasn't from amazon.com it was from accountant.com and it didn't say "Sold, Ship Now!" like it usually did, it just said "Payment Confirmed". There were ads for Amazon throughout and the amazon logo at the bottom of the e-mail. I almost mailed my $200 camera yesterday without looking on the Amazon.com site to be sure that the sale was legit, my mom told me to check and be sure before I mailed it and sure enough, my item was not sold, there was no payment collected or anything. Beware you guys, there are some real jerks out there looking to steal your stuff and rip you off for money. A couple years ago I wouldn't have been cautious enough to catch this so you guys please be sure you are dealing with an earnest person before mailing your expensive items away for nothing. You can't get that stuff back. This is the first time I've experienced anything like this, have any of you had this happen before on Amazon, eBay or any other sites?
