A WARNING TO OUR ADVERTISERS:
There are some low characters who respond to
classified ads with an offer to purchase advertised
items with a check in excess of the listed price.
The idea is to trick an advertiser into sending them
their change before the advertiser realizes the
"cashier's check" or "certified check" is a fake.
These creatures use computers to generate many
e-mail messages a day. Our readers and advertisers
are too smart for this ploy, but we suggest you
invite them to send you the check immediately via
Federal Express at the highest rate.
