suggestions for stopping scammers.

I have seen alot of deadbeat customers at the last shop I worked at.
They would come in and ask for car repairs on credit, "can I give you post dated checks", can I pay you in installments" that sort of thing.
"dont you have a credit card?" nope.
"well you can apply for our shop credid car, it has no payments of 90 days"
(like circut city or future shop card) they werent approved, and those cards aprove every one.
so my old boss would take a bunch of post dated checks or what ever, and 80% of the time the person couldnt pay off the bill or the checks would bounce ect....
Moral....there is a reason a person dont got credit.......................THEY DONT PAY THEIR BILLS!!!!!!!!
lesson for us....if they dont have a paypal account there is probably a reason. " I only take cash or money order"... "this way its easyer to steal your money".
If you pay through paypal you can file with paypal and get your money back if they dont ship.
there is no reason why some one cant open a paypal account.
