i told them I would NOT under any circumstances pay ANY fees up front.

Has anyone else experienced other ways to defraud further down the process?

Good for you! Be firm about that.

As for other ways to defraud, they seem to appear on these boards very frequently. Besides the main one (upfront fee), there's the so-called recovery scam where they call those who fell for the upfront fee scam and say "We can recover your money from that scam outfit..." and charge, you guessed it, some sort of upfront fee.

Another one is when a scam artist responds to a For Sale ad and says "I will send you a check for the sale price plus the commission that has to be paid to my broker. Make sure you forward that commission to him." Well, I'm sure you can guess the rest.
