Hello !

I`m new here and this is my first post/topic.

So, there is a big social portal like Facebook.com in Latvia - Draugiem.lv.
And Draugiem.lv is co-working with Zip.lv - largest Latvian selling portal. I posted there that I am selling my iphone 3GS 16GB.

And then e-mail came from William Tracy, that he wants to buy my iPhone. I said, that one man already is buying it off me for 300 LVL (600$) and, guys, that friend wants me to send that phone to Nigeria too Very Happy

. He says - Ok, I will give you 900$ (450 LVL). I said - Ok, so, where I should ship iPhone. He says - to Nigeria to his friend. I said - I have relatives in UK, so You can meet them, give them money and they will give You iphone. He says - nop, I`m working 24h day etc. Then he gave me his number, and sayd that I should call him. I replied, that I will contact him soon via e-mails.

Do You think this is a scam ?
But if he transfers money to my bank account first, and then asks me to send phone ?

Hi Sauros.

Shipping to Nigeria? A huge hike in payment? Tell the scammer that your first customer has matched his 900$ and you'll find that he'll go even higher - even more than the phone is worth.

But you don't need to. Just walk away. It's a scam.

^^^ As Simply says "Walk away"

He has your real life information, don't bait him using that.

By all means set up a new email account and bait him from there.
