Aha.
Gotta love those Nigerians!
Selling phones on Ebay is a farse. Having specified PAYPAL ONLY many times etc...
Yet again, some scammer goes for the "Buy it now" option with a Malaysian address (which I found very wierd because living in Malaysia surely one would be able to get hold of much more sophisticated phones at much cheaper prices than the UK)- which when I checked it didn't even exist.
So I invoice him in the unlikely even of him beinga agenuine buyer and then he sends this:
"Hello, I would like to pay for this item via postal order,AS you know ,I reside in malaysia,but i'm currently in Nigeria for business, and i want to give it to my business partners as a Gift item for the companies anniversary, so i will like to know if you can ship it to Nigeria, i dont mind paying any amount for the shipping cost, pls if you can do this for me i'll be very grateful. if you accept kindly send your full name and address which am going to send the check to. Here's the shipping address FOR the shipping calculation.
Mr JOSEPH OGBEVIRE.
34,Oni street, Via Randle Avenue,
Surulere 101014
Lagos
Nigeria pls reply ASAP.
kind regards in anticipation of your full co operation"
Oh and his name is apparently "James Wang" with 0 feedback. Moron.

Some dude at my college sold an Xbox Box for £100 on Ebay.
Yep, just the box!
Got away with it too, as he did list it as just the box.

Note it's always a gift... Are they trying to get sympathy?
Because it's not working.

Well from reading other forums, apparently in some cases they have an elaborate network of fake websites - complete with fake accounts etc, to further lure people in.
I doubt this guy has the intelligence required to go that far though.
