Stay away its a SCAM. Never encourage these frauds paying by Western Union.

This is known as the Nigerian Letter Scam

Google it or go through the community boards to get more info.


UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DO NOT SHIP. THE PAYMENT IS FAKE !! Superstores_Tech

Hi

You have come across a Fraud Buyer. Do not ship the item. Report him to Ebay.

These types of scams are polular with Nigerians.


Othewise also you don't need to ship the item until you receive the payment or it is confirmed by Ebay.

see let me tell you, i have tryed this and they paid me my money, all you have to do is for you to call there number on phone, and make sure that they give you there uk number which they give you. If you really call them and comfirm it, then you can ship the item for them,

And i have to advive you that you have to be very careful with them, if you rally call them and they claim what they are you can ship the item .

What i like in tem is that their own type of payment is the best they will come and meet you at home.

YOU CAN TRY IT AND SEE IF IT WORK, BECAUSE ME I HAVE DONE IT TOO AND IT WORK FOR ME.

AM SALIM.
