 |
|
Im selling a laptop on ebay and I've recieved an email from an interested party who wants to ship the laptop to his friend in NIGERIA As sketchy as this sounds, I dont see much that could go wrong.
Im including 2 emails I've recieved from him/her. I'll x out parts to protect their "identity" I figured it wouldn't hurt to consult this community about my situation. heres's the first:
Here is the original message:
Im highly interested in your item,please let me
know if still in good condition and i will offer you $1,300.00 and i will make your payment through
paypal Kindly get back to me with your paypal to XXXXX_smith2000@hotmail.com
Reply will be appreciated.
Thanks
the second message:
Thanks for your swift response i will be contacting PayPal for the payment now but i just want to get you notify that am shipping the item to my friend in west Africa so i will be adding the sums of $200.00 to the payment to cover the S&H amount so here is the shipping
address below
Name: Kayode XXXXXX
Sw9/997 street fatimo bus-stop
City: Ibadan
State: XXX State
Zip Code: XXXXX
Country: Nigeria
So i want the item to be shipped Via USPS GLOBAL MAIL EXPRESS INTERNATIONAL MAIL EXPRESS and as soon as you receive the Payment notification from PayPal i want the item to be shipped asap.
Thanks.
the only thing I can think of is a fake paypal notification? thanks for looking guys and gals, I'd really appreciate any opinions  |
