(Example: Airfare, beauty supplies)
Where does placement come into play with this particular scam? For example: A product that may or may not work in a certain area.
(Example: Selling snow shovels in San Diego)
Promotion, there had to be a reason you were scammed or the buyer is being scammed. What type of promotion lured you in?
