Re: Possible SCAM? Help
sounds like a scam, it's slightly better than the ones i get though. usually if they dont reference the product by name i consider it a scam.

Re: Possible SCAM? Help
I'm not sure where it would be a scam, i'm not sending them money, if it's in my account, isn't the money mine?

Re: Possible SCAM? Help
Scam...they have some way of doing a chargeback or something, but just tell him to win the auction. Plus it's against Ebay terms if you end the auction early without a Buy it Now price.
Plus you could probably get more than $1600 for it anyways.

Plain and simple, it's a scam. All those douche bags write similar garbage, and people still keep falling for it.

Re: Possible SCAM? Help
Tell him to Direct Deposit the money into your account, and wait until it clears. No escrow. I can't see how he can scam you.
Then....don't send him shit!  Scam the scammers.

Re: Possible SCAM? Help
First and foremost!!!!!!!!!!!! The fractured and disjointed English, HELLO!!!!!!! That is the first sign of a scammer, and since the offerer is "Aussie", the offerer would have a much better command of English!!!!!!! Fuggetaboudit!!!!!!!!!

If he's an Aussie, find out where he lives. If it's in Sydney, I'll sort it out for you.
