I bought something over the internet one time from a person who went by the name of "flimflam". Talk about your suspicious screen names. However the guy really was a nice guy, and an honest guy, and I got the merchandise exactly as advertised. I called him on the phone and talked to him a little bit before sending money though, so I at least had some small clues as to his personality even though that is not much of a guarantee.
