if you think you are smarter than the 'average' joe you stand a high chance of being scammed. all larceny operates on that very principal, that the victim thinks they are somehow slicker than 85% of the rest of the population. i haven't gotten beat out of any $ in over a year, and in my case it was some damn nigerian selling nonexistent bmw parts on a forum on a compromised username. another variant of their '419' scam. so even if you do check your references (papers and writing in your case) its still no guarantee you're getting a straight deal. just dont let your greed or need to get a lefthanded slick move hookup get the best of you. again sorry about your $ loss man
