The Yahoo! Buyer Protection Program applies to Yahoo! affiliated merchants and the merchants' customers. If the person you are buying something from is not a merchant then it could be a scam. You may need to check the person out through Yahoo! Shopping's support personnel.

Are you responding to an ad from Craigs list? If so and they are insisting on using a third party to protect themselves, you can be best assured that it is a scam.

Look carefully at the email. It will most likely have words spelled in a European fashion (Theatre as opposed to Theater)

Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't.
