On the positive at least it will make sure you never get scammed on a larger purchase.

I tend to be trusting as well and actually wired a guy a lot of money for 911 targa 4s with 11k miles sight unseen with just a few pics.

The only thing that gave me the confidence to do it was he was listed several places online as an engineer and I spoke with a teller at his bank who verified he was a customer.

I was super nervous hitting send on that money and arranged for a transpOrt form Wisconsin to NY Since I didn't feel like driving.
