hello seller i have so much intrested in buying your item i,m in need of it urgently so i will be making your payment via money oreder so i want you to get back to with ur full name address and the total price of the item and due to the urgency needed of this phone i will add$30 to the price of the phone so i want you to calculate the shipping cost to africa cos i want to send it to my sister there so i want the item to be ship the same your payment is confirmed by western union money order. Thanks."

Doesn't this seem a little sketchy to you?

I'm thinking I might tell the guy that because he's in Africa I'd want it sent paypal and I'd ship it when I got the email confirmation of funds. Good idea? Should I just not write back?

The ebay user is slimstore2001, he has only had his account open for 30 days and has no feedback.

What do you think?

I think you should tell him just what you said, since it's out of your own country, you would feel much more comfortable with him paying via Paypal. If he refuses, then something's up. Seller Beware. Good luck to you.

It's a scam.

Of course you could have fun with him.

I think we should have a contest - see who can get one an embarassing picture of one of the scammers first. Bonus points if it references dz.com in some way (ex: "Clay likes sheep", "Remster likes Hamsters", "Wrongway likes boys", "HH is da man", etc)

it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Maybe I should convince him that he needs to join our Cult of the Cajun Chicken, and the only requirement is to send a picture of himself dining on raw meat with a local prostitute and flashing the gang sign.

I would build a shrine to you.

Ok, maybe not, but I'd at least buy you a jump. You can even leave out the prostitute and raw meat if he holds a sign proclaiming his love for cajun chickens.
