It's been brought to my attention that I sounded a little gruff here. That was not my intention, and I really want to thank those who bring these types of scams to the attention of the rest of us! My appologies for not being clear on that. Scammers shouldn't be tollerated, and I don't mean to blame those who are trying to do business on the internet.

However, this is how I see things turning out. It will be far easier for the govt to over-regulate the good sellers & buyers, than to do anything about the scammers. That will cost the good people a lot of money and oppertunity, and not really do anything to be rid of off-shore scams.

I see this going a couple different ways. If we all complain enough to the govt, they will do 'something' about it. That will end up being more restricted, and more costly, and more imbedded tracer chips/ encoding/ fingerprinting of all computers & messages. That will cost all of us in many ways - sites such as ytmag will be priced out of the market, the internet will be more regulated & industrialized, things will be more expensive.

Or, we can just be aware of such stuff ourselves, and know a deal too good to be true, or that needs a really fast immeadiate response, is not worth chasing down - or needs a few weeks for the funds to clear. That will be a bit harder on those of you trying to make a living selling stuff on the internet, but it will keep the whole internet more free, open, and available to all your customers & yourselves. If we are so restricted & taxed, the internet will not be avaiable to individuals as a selling tool, but only to corporations with vast paperwork/ electronic tracking centers, or povider businesses who take most of your profits as the handle all the paperwork.

I prefer the more open aproach, and let buyers & sellers beware. I was trying to comment on that broad issue, but didn't mean anything against good sellers or buyers here.
