I get those scams at work almost weekly. They usually go after
businesses with websites that take credit cards. I played one guy for a
while. He gave me three credit card numbers to use. They were all
stolen cards (at least the info) and the issuing banks said they were
still active. They don't care what the price is since the scam isn't
about the product and the product never is shipped anyway. They make
their money when you run the cards and pay _their_ shipping company a
lot of money. Then the credit card charge backs will come and you are
out the cash paid to the bogus shipping company. I would never pay a
third party as part of any transaction like that.

BTW - The wife makes a mean jambalaya in the pressure cooker!
