"Help please"

I'm selling a phone on eBay which I listed yesterday and I got this email:

"Q: Dear valued seller,this is Hill Electronics Uk Ltd.We were so amazed when we saw your nicely displayed items,so we decided to purchase one of this as a sample to our client.We am willing to offer £150 and our method of payment is by money order via Western Union as the cash safely gets to you as home delivery in about 5days time.We will like to ship to our client as soon as you get an email confirmation that the payment is approved by Western Union(using my fedEx courier service Account).Kindly send your contact information for immediate payment.Thanks for your understanding. "

Now £150 for the phone is a lot more than I was expecting, however the downside is the person offering to pay me has zero feedback.

I've never used Western Union money transfer before, but it seems legit, however I don't want to have to give some random person my bank details, if that is what is required.

Some help, please?

Sounds a bit dodgy, especially from someone with zero feedback.

£150's more than I'd have given you.

If it works, you'll be glad I didn't want it!

got anymore irish/englih/scottish jokes m8?

Go for it man.

Thats a good joke, i may use that and pass it off as my own sometime ...

Reminded me of a joke.

And English man, Scottish man and Irish man are running from the police and they run down this back alley. In the alleyway there are three empty sacks so they all jump inside the sacks to hide.

The police run down the alley and see these 3 bulging sacks and get suspicious.

They kick the first sack and the Englishman shouts "woof, woof"

One of the policemen says "We better leave it alone, it must be a dog"

They kick the second sack and the Scotsman shouts "meow, meow"

Another policeman says "lets leave it, it's only a cat"

They kick the third sack and the Irishman shouts "potatoes"

You do that.

Wow, I'm using the wrong account...

How can you send him that?!?

Yeah, gotta look at it the other way though, I could get £150 for a phone worth about £50.

I'll ask him to paypal me it and if he says no I'll try send him aids.

"We am willing"

Never trust a bad speller. Or the Irish.
