I'm trying to sell a ring, so I posted it up on CL... asking price is $900.00. I paid a little over $2000.00 for the ring a few months back. I've been getting hits but they all seems to be bullshit "ship it to my friend overseas and I'll send you a check" or some shit like that. I got a different response last night. It reads as follows...
"Thanks for getting back to me also i will like to let you that am so serious in buying the item from you but am at the camp residing in Brooklyn for my rugby coaching,so i will not be able to come over to you to make the pick up nor pay in cash due to that reason which i want you to handle the shipment down to my partner whom was currently transferred to Benue Republic at oversea with her team on a research on a Human development under world Health Organization.so you will be shipping the item via the US local post office that is the United EMS Express Speed post mail (USPS) down to her there and i have make up up mine to pay you via paypal of $1100 for you on my behalf to cover the shipping fee since am very sure that paypal is safe.so kindly get back to me with your paypal account name and e-mail account address,so that i can send that to paypal for the instant money transfer."
Cliff Notes:
Dude says he's interested. Wants to pay me $1100.00 via paypal for me to ship to some BFE location...
Is paypal safe or does this sound like a scam (it does to me)
-
Just the way its worded sounds like a scam
-
of course it's a scam
-
If you have to ask, its probably a scam. Hell, first line is a dead giveaway, calling it an "item".
-
you are a full blown retard
-
Did you win the Spanish Loterry too?
-
Rugby? Overseas? Partner? Paying more than what you're asking?
Sounds completely legit :-*
-
You're a fucking idiot.

Go open a bank account to open a fake paypal. Have him send money, withdrawl, close account, then ship

He's probably too much of a pussy fag to even reply in this thread again.
-
The sad thing is, people fall for this shit. It's clear in this thread.
I dont think I have ever posted something on CL and not gotten a "hi, my name is jamal from BFE. i would like to buy your item for (way more than asking price) ...etc. etc."
-
Yeah I agree I'm a fucking idiot. Just wasn't sure how solid the whole paypal thing was... If he sent the money... what then... open a claim against me? And i have to pay the money back? How would that work? Enlighten me with details to how the scam works.

You still haven't offered any real information, other than worthless name calling, Fagojon.

I don't give out common sense to idiots. I can't believe you're still asking about this.

Have him paypal you the money, but tell him there is a 1 month waiting period before you ship :P

They use a stolen credit card via paypal
you send it like a dummy they get the shit for free since
paypal doesnt cover your ass since you didnt ship to a confirmed address since its a stolen card
Easy enough and people in Africa have been playing these games since al gore made the interwebz back in the day when he drove a zc powered 85 crx si.

Uh, no. They didn't start these antics until Al Gore bought the '86 Si hatch with the A1 cam.
