Again, there is no need to tell you about "Markus Freidrich". The links provided above should be all there is to it.

Find out how Google Checkout works, you will immediately see the above is likely a scam. There is no "inspection period", there is no "member of Google or Google representative" that is involved in any transaction, and so on. There maybe mention of "wire transfer, money gram, western union" and so on, none of which are accepted in Google Checkout and are "good as cash" - you send it, you can't get it back.

You have to know what you are getting into - find out so you don't get victimized, here or elsewhere. Its easy for anyone to change "Google" into "PayPal" in the above, change names, etc. etc., and unless you know what you are getting into, you run the risk of being scammed....
