Cancelled sale due to suspicious email address

[willow19771976]

I have just cancelled a sale due to the winning bid having a 0 feedback and an email address having spam in it (n#########spam@gmail.com. The customer had not yet paid for the item. I have been scammed before. He is now asking why I cancelled the order. Should I tell him?

No, best not to reply.  Put their ID on your blocked bidder list.  Here's the link:

Hope you cancelled correctly so that you got a refund of the selling fee! 

Posssibly buyer could be genuine, but best not to take a risk, some think it is clever to have a silly email address, I hardly think any scammer would do anything so obvious.
