Sounds very fishy. If he can't use paypal, he's a flake without a creditcard or bank account. Prolly messing with you?

 

uh..

what?

 

indeed...it does...
i haven't responded to him yet (no ebay access at work )

 

I'm in dire need of more info before offering advice. Send me your old phone for evaluation and I'll get back to you.

 

My granma used to say if it smells like you are probably walking by a fish market!

I personally like to list my auctions as local or US shipping only.

 

2 pounds of salmon filets please.

Oh, and some tuna steak to go with that too.

 

Mocky, Karl got the same offer from some guy in 'Nigeria' offering to buy the Corolla when he had it on autotrader....gave him the number of a 'shipping company' to arrange for pickup....

My boss got a similar type of offer when he had his s2k up for sale as well....

I am 99% sure this is a scam, don't ship anything to Africa....whether it's a phone OR a car...

 

:screwed:

 

Yeah that's most likely a fake. We get emails here everday from some pseudo "African/South African" who wants to buy something rrrrrrrrrreally urgently and will even pay more if we ask him too

If it includes Africa - it's a fake

 

You mean I shouldn't send the $1000 to the lady who is really a princess, and will give me $10,000 in return once she gets back to Africa?


DOH!
