He wants me to ship to Nigeria

#1

I think this is a scam, but since you guys are the pros here, I thought I would get a second opinion on this sale.

His first email:

Quote: › Dear seller,
i would say i am very happy to get the kind of ps3 playstation i have been looking for to buy for my daughter schooling at college of lagos at nigeria,which she want to use for her practice in her school by next two weeks,i will be paying the item through via paypal and i will send you my daughter's address and my Dhl account number for the shipping charges to her school,so there will be no need for you paying any money for the shipping cos it will be charged to my account.i will be expecting your paypal account email address or the invoice for the ps3 playstation in other for me to make out my payment as soon as possible through via paypal,so you can send the item to my daughter's address immediately you receive the confirmation e-mai from paypal.expecting your response soon.

Quote: › Hi,

I've sent the invoice to your email address. As I've stated on the auction page, I only ship to U.S. addresses and am not willing to ship to an address in Nigeria.

Thank you,

His second email:

Quote: › Hello

There will be no body at my house in the state to recive the item for me ok, i will be very glad if you send the item to her.
Thanks

My response:

Quote: › Sorry, I cannot do that. You will have to provide for an alternative solution, or ask your neighbors in the United States to hold the item for you.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

They can't read. Sorry, I wouldn't send it. Not even with a PP addy.

Old Scam, Just a new day. If you send it you lose. I'm Sure you could sell it in the states.

Don't Ship To Nigeria

Not even if Dr. Smith needs the item because he needs it for embassy and his sister is in jail because of the coup and the children in the camp that need the transplant concerning the exhile from the Congo for the nuns.

Don't Ship To Nigeria

I'm just curious, did he ever pay for it? Doesn't matter, the Nigerians have perfected their scams and even if they pay you, they have a way to do a chargeback. Paypal gives chargebacks without blinking. These scams are often run from internet cafes.

They'll send you a totally fake PayPal email if they say they paid by PayPal. It may be some kind of "paypalaccount@emailaccount.com" type of address. It may look real but with tons of script errors if you look carefully.

I say bag up your bathroom trash and ship to Nigeria!
