[4:32 PM, 8/24/2018] Carousel Mali: I will, but my bank will request for your email address
[4:33 PM, 8/24/2018] AM: are you really serious in buying the bag, or are you just going to tell me you over transfered some money and I need to transfer it back?

I have had many of this conversations before. No bank will ask for email address. Please do not waste my time. I am sincere in selling this bag. If you are looking to scam people, please dont waste my time
[4:35 PM, 8/24/2018] AM: See, now your profile picture has disappeared. Please make a living doing good and sincere things. People work hard to earn a living.
[4:35 PM, 8/24/2018] AM: and there are people like you doing things like this
Not to be racist but when I saw that foreign name, I suspect it is a scam already. There are so many of these people doing this sort of thing. Wasting people's time.

I sold my Apple Nike Watch for RM900 to a Middle Eastern, fortunately I did a COD with him to which I demanded to see if the cash is present after I showed him the watch, the charger is working fine, before I allow him to pair.
