There is this one person who claimed that shes from UK buying a handphone from me... asking me to use DHL express service to ship the phone to her hubby in Nigeria.. she transfered the $$ from her account at Royal Bank of Scotland which i received via email that she has done so but the money cannot be credited into my account because i have to give her bank the tracking number first before i can get the money.. is this thing can be trusted???

The shipping already cost rm1200.00 from my place to nigeria.. and she expect me to pay that first and ship my rm550 phone to her hubby in nigeria.. what if i ship the thing over, and i dont get any $$ in return...? not only i lose my phone, i will bear the losses of another rm1200.00 for nothing rite???

i think its a scam..

i got this thing quite a lot. i just ignore it

hey girl is a scam,do not believe this, i got the same situation with you and so do my friend! asking us to ship our stuff to Africa and they claim that they r in UK! Exactly same situation! is a scam,he/she said paid to our bank account already but actually didn't. just ignore it.

dear, obviously it is a scam. The postage itself is even pricier than a phone! If u are on the person shoe, would u buy the phone? Think!

This is clearly a SCAM. Lol.

hey i am in the uk and i use royal bank of scotland the bank wont ask u to do dat. dont go through with it

LOL

the minute you hear the word Nigeria, remember this word S.C.A.M

it is a scam....

Hmm...this is interesting. Get to learn something new here

thanks all.. i tot its a scam too... now i can hev my piece of mine

If you see anything from or to NIGERIA, just ignore it. Don even waste time to read the whole stuff.

this is a scam.. you do get a lot of this message especially when u post in mudah or lelong.. beware dont go in their trap..

I just had an email saying it was from FBI.. I'll be a wanted terrorist if i dont post the item to her hubby. I dont get the payment and i'll be the terrorist becoz i dun send the item which i dont get paid for??? wow....

U can tell him u have informed interpol and make a long story if u have time to play around

i emailed them saying that this matter has been forwarded to the Royal Malaysian Police for further investigation. So far, no email from them.

cnfirm scam

dear, obviously it is a scam.nigeria business never trusted as alots scam from them...prevention is better then cure

why do people even believe such transaction is not a scam in the first place? obvious scam is obvious

as usual, if ppl are interested in ur things, u will be excited.. from overseas some more..haha..

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
