Recommended Posts

So I never sell anything on their but I need some dough, someone uses "Buy it Now" to purchase a Macbook pro I got on their and sends me this message

 

"hello seller

am really happy to have bought your item on eBay

i actually wanna get this item as a birthday gift for a loved one{my nephew} and i'm not presently in the US now as i'm on a business assignment in Asia and i'll like item shipped to him directly...... So get back to me with the item condition,and i'll commence payment via PayPal immediately.......

pls get back asap

*****"

 

also the ebay acct is no longer registered, hmmm. . . .

 

Does Ebay still take a commission fee, and/or should i give them my paypal info to try to get the dough?

:confused:

Dear XoXoX,

 

If you would like to become a Moderator on the 12oz Propet internets site please now send me Paypal information as I am in Nigeria for now and would gladly make you a Moderators upon my return to greatest places of America.

 

Might this offer be open to me as well? It sounds very safe and beneficial.

 

No real talk people are suckers, my mom knows someone who was just way too sympathetic and lacked any common sense. Dude lost like 10 grand to one of those Nigerian scammers.

 

To top it all off, he was only being offered money, not a gold name. Crazy.
