I have several foreigners ordering my phone from UK and was ask to post them to UK or Nigeria.
Could it be a fraud?? Any precautious measures?? I am really confused why they would wanto buy unit from Malaysia.
I am just worried that they could be Malaysians who are conman.

Any comment?

100% scam and con man. just ignore it.

I mean how are they going to cheat? Other person pay the money but i deliver the item to the conman's house? But is the conman living in oversea but is a Malaysian? Or they really are foreign conman? I dun think English would wanto con Malaysian. They are generally rich and civilised people. No need to con.

Just ignore it. Nigerians is popular with this type of scamming tactics.

why? in UK and Nigeria don't have phones to sell arr? just ignore them la. nigerian well-known as scammer. black-money etc.

Just google about Nigerian scam and you will know.. Just ignore the email boss..

Thanks u all guys for the comments
I just feel y there would be ppl offering much higher price to buy my phone, moreover they are from those foreign countries. Too good to be true..

If they bank in and u withdraw and holding the money in your hand only u go on with the deal. if they give u any kind of reason do not i repeat DO NOT send the goods first.

Money first.

do you really think that foreign are "that" good??rich and civilized person don't cheat???
my advise is just ignore them!!!
unless you selling it at reputable selling web like those Ebay..
but there's some con cases that involve in ebay...take your own risk
and by the way...you're posting on the wrong section dude!!!

ask for money 1st, when received, not processing har, than only send item...

i bet this person ask every detail about ur bank rite????
just ignore it,comfirm scam 100%...

1st - they ask your bank details
2nd - inform u they already bank in
3rd - send u fraud email with a fraud bank logo etc (suggesting that the bank mail to u) saying that u need to provide a sending proof to them so that they can release the payment.
4th - i m trying once before, in my case they even call me (definitely african guy) to ask whether i have send the item or not and ask to check the email
5th - u send ur stuff
6th - u kene

yup!!
standard/typical operation done by scammer online...especially those "black" dude

If any emails or call s from Nigeria beter try not even layan lah..

i for once tried to sell my jersey. the UK feller even offer to pay thru paypal. same address to his supposed son at nigeria. can it be trusted?

Even worse - Once you confirm sending they would have just filed a dispute with PayPal, paypal will then just suspend your account as you tried to prove that you send the item.

Better safe than sorry. Avoid any transaction, especially when its from Nigeria.

I mean those from Europe la. If wanna cheat they also wont cheat small things. But those from Nigeria is 3rd world country sure like to cheat. I dun think they will actually even wanto see our website in malaysia la.

My friend once got this email and decided to play around. He actually put a brick and wrap it nicely and send to the located address.

haha

postage fee wasted.

sometimes,things are just too good to be true...

just,be wise

Their common word " Send the item first, later tell me how much the courier is cos will include it in the amount to transfer"

That's absolutely ignorant. Black, white, yellow, brown, etc... they're all under the SCAMMER category. Have you ever heard about Charles Ponzi? He's a white, but he was successful in his Ponzi Scheme which conned others of their money(as we all can see now).

Avoid foreign buyers. It absolutely doesn't make sense if a Malaysian visits a Spanish website(like LYN) to purchase items. Plus, they'll ask you to send the items before they make their 'payment'

haha, my frens got a call frm them yesterday, he terus tell them go ask China ppl la.
