This is a classic variant on the Nigerian 419 scam. The way they make money is to pay with bank draft(phony) stolen credit card or phony certified check,usually in an amount greater than the cost of the item.They then want a cash refund for the difference when they pick up the item. In addition,as they deal with you,they are picking up information such as your name,corporate name and address etc, to launch a raid on your bank account using identity theft and PO Drop Boxes. Mrs Tabitha Jones 702 is one who tried to use the multiple room extended stay booking ruse at our B&B in the last several weeks. We get one or two a week of that variant.Google"Nigerian Scams"" or "e-mail fraud" and you will be amazed. Art Link,vigilant in San Antonio,TX,USA
