1st of all, Why would someone so stupid enough to pay US$1700.00 for AU$800.00 that's not even intended for an auction.

2ndly, Was it only a coincidence for these 3 buyers purchasing the item while the buyer was in Europe and the shipment address was in West Africa or Nigeria!?

I hate bloody spamers! It's better to sell in person than to risk sending your stuff with monkeys!!!

I know isn't it great?

My favourite part is when they actually send you a "paypal payment" via another generic email account and reads something like:

John Smith <john.smith@hotmail.com on befalf of payments@paypal.co.uk>

They have used a very good html editing and all the lilnks and bookmarks actually work or ping to the relevant error message page.
A novice would DEFINITELY fall for this scam!!!

Well, It's fun to actually fun to play their game... lol

But they should be burned!!!

I think I will end up keeping my phone!

Another email:

I tried to sell a PS2 on here once, posted my ad and got a very long-winded reply but as soon as I saw the word "Nigeria" I stopped reading and just sent back a two-word reply. The second word was "off"
