I just email the guy from the scam and told him I would finish the transaction when I returned back from vacation in 10 days! He'll be tweaking! :D
 
here is one of the spam email this guy sent me!

Hello Jim
This is what i will like you to do as soon as possible,take the money order to your bank cash it asap ,deduct your funds . and then send the rest of the funds to the shipper through WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER ,so that the shipper can begin all necessary arrangements for the pick up and shippment .

HERE'S THE SHIPPER'S INFO ;

AKINJIDE K. SULYMAN.
APOSTOLOUS PAVLOUS 6.

PAPHOS,CYPRUS 35726.



N:B

I would have the shipper contact you as soon as he gets the funds so that both of you can arrange on when and how to meet for the pick up .Pls also remember to send all the info you used to send the funds to my email box e.g SENDER'S NAME AND ADDRESS,RECEIVERS NAME AND ADDRESS,TEXT QUESTION AND ANSWER,AMOUNT SENT,CONTOL NUMBER(MTCN 10 DIGIT NUMBER)ETC.

Pls when you get to the western union location,you'd be asked to choose
a text question and answer.You should choose:

Question:What is the color of sky?
Answer: Blue
 
here is another email from him after I sent a fictional Western Union MTCN # to him

Hello Jim.
The MTCN # is not correct..............ok. it should be 10 digit #.
pls kindly scan the western union receipt to me now.......ok
Awaiting your quick response.
Thanks.
Regards.
James
 
this is the nexest scam out there..

Never let them over send money..

and never use Western Union.. unless it is through pay pal..

i dont like people to have their own shipping people pick it up..
 
Yep, a very common eBay scam these days. Many of these are from overseas. It's gotten so I will only sell in the states. I hate to do it, but the time, trouble and risk isn't worth it.

If someone from the forum who is outside the USA wants something I will add their eBay ID to my list, but otherwise it's mostly a lower 48 auction anymore.

This is the same type of scam i've been getting on islandpreviews- an online classified page.
 
I just got this scam too.

Did you call the police or anything?

Yeah. NO SHIT!


Uhhh, what if you had it blessed and sprinkled with holy water first? :eek:
 
I've had the same thing on craigslist. It's a huge problem there. He says his client will pay for it with a cashiers check (FAKE) that is way over the price, and just to send him the left over money. Contact your local police dep or something.
