Hi, All
Nowaday things are not the same since the day baazee.com has been changed to eBay.in, we can see lots of fraud(Nigerian frauds) happening out there, these fraud people will buy your items and will never pay properly, to make it very easy for you guys to understand the whole issue, I have just pasted couple of mails sent to me from those fraud people(a fraud Nigerian buyer transcation).
1st mail releated to the eBay.in transcation.
Hello.,
I'm the Winner of the Item. I will like to send the item to my friend in NIgeria as a Birthday Gift, so tell me how much it will cost to ship the item to my friend. At the moment i'm not in the country. I will be responisble for any additonal cost.
There are shipping informations.
City:Benin City

My reply to the above mail
As requested by you, shipment to Nigeria will cost you 1,200/-, and the package will be sent through DTDC courier service.
So the total price will be 7,999.00 + 1,200.00 = 9,199/-
Please pay the above amount through online transaction/pay paisa etc and the remaining through Online fund transfer or as per your convenience.
Product will be sent immediately after payment realization.
2nd mail.
