I received a very similar fraudulent message. It was from a yahoo
account. I reported it, but will be trying to locate the perpetrator
myself. My response will be perceived as an anxious seller and very
trusting.
In the space below the perp will only see a space that
is actually an image being pulled from my server and tracked except on
his version it is all white or transparent. Click it to see your
recorded IP. His is different to separate the perp's IP from all of
yours BTW. If the fraudulent party is using an identifiable IP I will
post it here in the thread.
The fraud email message is included below and the image above is named with the perp's email.
Think
I am serious? Try searching for NameMedia and lawsuit. I will save you
the typing in the most popular two search engines.

The internet is one of the most important things for me in communicating as a paralyzed artist.

===========================to which I replied along with the IP beacon....
Did you receive this the
last time? I have had another offer, but it was not for the full price of the
six books. I am still attempting to determine if there was an error or if the
price was more than expected? I have not heard a response for several days.
Perhaps you simply missed it? I hope that the price was not a surprise as I
have it published on Amazon for the amount that was included. Please let me
know if there was a misunderstanding or a change of heart? I am aware that this
large an amount requires a great deal of trust. Would you like to purchase all
four? I will stop the advert in that case.
