phone scam questions [RE-wrenches]

[Jay Peltz, Peltz Power]

Hi William,

Same with me.  STOP DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!!

I told her, that only a money transfer to my bank account would work.  And
that would be for the amount in full, and they would have to provide a
account for the shipping.

With a CC they can stop payment even after they have paid, claiming it was
stolen etc, and you will be out of the money.
