Is This Guy Scammin' Me???
Hey Y'all... I'm not as savy on the ol' internet scam as I'd like to be.. And I know some of you do this more than I...
I recently posted my polymorph for sale in the classifieds, and a few weeks later this guy sends me an email saying he wants to buy it... he's in the UK I'm in the states.
after a couple of cursory emails he sends me this:
Thanks for your recent mail.The price is okay by me, and i am ready to purchase
it immediately,but concerning the shipping,like i told you that my international
shipping agent will take care of that.
So please if this is okay by you provide me with your contact address and phone
number where the payment will be sent to.So that i will contact my client
immediately that owes me $4,800, and i will instruct him to pay you on my behalf
ok,and as soon as the payment get to you i would like you to cash it immediately
and deduct your money,and send the remaining balance to my shipping agent so
that he can be able to pay and make an arrangement for the pick-up ok.And as
soon as you provide me with your contact address payment will be made out to you
immediately.Hope to see your urgent reply soonest.
My best regards to your family,
It sounds like those scams coming out of African Web Bars, so now I'm curious... plus, the guy hasn't really asked for much about the synth and is HAPPY to pay the asked for amount without discussion... it just feels off... now I don't want to be an asshole, and I'd like to sell the synth... anyone got any advices?
