Better don't YM. Sekali she (or he) is IT expert, you kena lah attack lah because so p*** o** you play with him

My suggestion (like what i did), just ignore him. case closed

Normally what they did is first the will ask for ur bank acc, what bank and all those details that he needs to do overseas money transfer(just pretend BTW), then after few days, he will get back to you telling you that he ady did the transfer and asking you to go to FeDex,GdEx Or whateva courier companies he had in his mind and asked you to post the item and after you hv posted it then provide him with the tracking no. If you asked why you need to post first when you haven't received the money, he will say it's for safety purpose, he will tell you the money is hold by the bank (to protect you and himself), but only when you provide him with the consignment code, then only the bank will release the money into ur bank, all sort of excuses, but really salute them for coming out with such great scamming skills xD

Hello,
I want to buy the item for a friend of mine who works in a British American tobacco company in West Africa, Nigeria, I want you to go and find out how much is the shipping cost via post office and get back to me with the total cost including the shipping cost and also want you
to get back to me with your full bank details so that i can make the bank transfer as soon as possible.

Thanks.
Andrea Collins


I smells something fishy,so I replied " Why don't we COD, and you post it to your friend yourself? "

Then, no more replies biggrin.gif

even they did pay for the stuff+postage fee, later they will somehow claim that they either:

1. never receive the item
2. claimed received, but not working/faulty etc etc
3. any other false accusation that makes us a bad dealer/seller

so, they will ask for a refund, and if we want our stuff back, we will be the one who should bear the postage fee..
and its still not guaranteed that we can actually get our stuff back btw sweat.gif

so dun waste time dealing with this kind of people..
if want to play, just play around, but make sure no money involved smile.gif
