I used to have an on-line business. More of a side line then anything else. I started out trying to sell Sporting goods electronics- radios, GPS's, fish finders etc... That didn't work so well. So I put some Christmas wreaths on-line one fall and it quickly became a full time gig for two-three months a year. Both businesses had very similar sounding web addresses. Every year I'd get people e-mailing in special orders to have items shipped over seas, almost, almost always offering to pay more then the asking price. Often orders for wreaths would come in on the electronics site and visa versa. I never went to the lengths described here, usually just trashed them and moved on. But sometimes if I was bored I'd reply "Absolutely a certified out of country check will work for payment. We do require a deposit of 5 troy oz of gold for each $100 of your order. Once we receive the deposit of your gold, well ship the products you've requested. Your deposit will be completely safe and will be returned within one year of your certified check clearing the bank."
