I'll be looking forward to hear from you and confirm the total asking price Plus the $50 I'm giving you for deleting the advert..." At this point it seemed very suspicious so I did an internet search and sure enough there were lots of people who reported similar stories of people willing to overpay. I'm not quite sure how the scam works exactly but it is in fact a scam and you should beware. An internet search saved me, I hope it can do the same for others. |
