Ok, first of all, I have my broken ps3 + 2 controllers + hmdi cord + 5 games for sale on craigslists for $150 and I received this e-mail: Thanks for the reply, i will be buying and i am okay with the description of the item and i will like to buy it for my son who is schooling in oversea and to purchase this very fast instead of bidding i will offer you $250 including the shipping cost to oversea via USPS Express Mail(EMS),and i will be paying in a secure way which is PayPal so if my offer is granted i will like you to get back to me with your PayPal email account so as to make the payment asap or you can send a money request this email address. Sounds like one of those nigerian scams?!?

Wait for it.. wait for it... THERE! And THERE! BAM ONCE MORE! I think this is legit, i dunno what you guys are talking about. How you guys saw through his impeccable grammar is beyond me.
Plus, he says he's going to pay you + shipping if that's so damn easy for him, why does he need you to ship it? things like that shouldn't even be questioned. the instant I see "shipping overseas" or "will pay you + shipping give me your paypal" I wonder, if it's truly local, why can't the person come pick it up and ship it themselves?? if they paid you with paypal, chances are you'd get a notice later on that the money didn't clear, and then you're out an xbox and money
Sounds legit, you should also send him your social security number and your bank account number just to make sure everything is cool. :biggrin:
Here is a protip for deciding if it's a scam or not: If you have to ask 'Legit or Scam?' It is a scam. That is all.
Really? Come on dude... Go easy on him guys/gals. At least he had the common sense enough to ask us before he went ahead and made a mistake.
change a few words here and there and it looks like the typical mnsubaru WTB post...:laugh: i kid i kid SCAM
Pretty much knew it was a scam, just wanted to share it with you guys. She even e-mailed me her address: 28 Isale-Agbowa Makun Sagamu Ogun-state Nigeria +2348059315170 :cheers:
kinda off topic but u wanna pm me what games and how much, and also how much for the controllers if ur willing to separate it all...
lol.... Nigeria!!! I don't think I'd ever trust any corespondence from a Nigerian via the internetz. Sounds racist doesn't it? Never thought that would be somthing I'd say, but the damn scammers ran Nigerias reputation through the mud.
