WTB is a scam that has been going on for some time now. I got bit by it too. Basically you put a post on the internet wanting to buy something. Usually its something expensive or hard to buy. And the vultures come out and say they have it and where to send the money. Then they disappear. Best to use paypal if you are buying from someone you do not know. If you are on the fence as to whether or not its a scam. Tell them your (insert family member here) lives not to far from them and you would like them to come over and take a look before you send the money. If its a scam you will never hear from them again. They dont want you to know where they actually are it makes it too easy for the law to track them down.

If you are selling something. Require a USPS money order ONLY. And take it to the post office to cash it. Never take a western union money order.
