Need to vent. Had a buyer call me this morning 6:30a and wanted to "buy" a high-ticket auction item.
Then buyer wants to send me 50% payment by sending me multiples of half cut $20 bills, and said would send me the other half when the item was received.

I too had a customer send me half a $100 bill in the mail.
I emailed and asked why she stated when the item was received she would send the other half.
I refused and she went into a rant.
2 days later her email address was not valid and a week later she was NARU.
I decided to return the half bill but she never provided a shipping address.
After careful inspection of the bill I noticed it was not evenly cut.
As an accountant grad I know if you have 51% of the bill it is 100% valid.
S I brought it to the bank turned it over.
It took 10 days to get validated but I received the money.
She never contacted me So I tried to get Contact info which wasn't valid.
I was amazed by her stupidity.
