I nearly fall for this scam also. The story is, recently im selling my watch at mudah.my and a guy name Chris leo says he is from UK which interested in buying my watch for a friend from nigeria. So i guide him to bank in to me. Soon after i get an email from Royal Bank of Scotland said that they have receive payment from my client and to be released to me once the stock and tracking number is send to them. The email does not look Genuine and i cancelled of the deal. Dont fall for this scam. This is the mail i get. The signature is cut and paste and from another name Poul
