Just lately I added to my auctions
"money orders accepted for the amount of the sale plus shipping only"
after I got this e-mail suposedly from Great Britain about payment for a $50.00 item.
Hello Seller,
I am really very happy to be the bids winner of your
auction, how are you and everything over there,i have
contact my shipper and he told me that he will come
for the pick up of the item from your place as soon as
the transaction must have been sealed.
This is how the payment will be made ,a client
of mine in US who is owing me some fund $2000,I will
instruct him to issue a Us money order in your name
and once the money order clears you will deduct the
cost of the item,compensation and any tax incurred
and my balance will be send back to my shipper via
western union money transfer for immediate shipping
arrangement.
The reason for this is that it takes 1-2
days for a money order to clear there while it takes a
longer time for a US money order to clear here.If this
is okay with you do get back to me with your full
name,contact address and phone number asap for me to
instruct my client to issue the cheque in your name
asap.
Thanks for your understanding in
anticipation and hope to read from you today.
Best regards,
Kevin
N.B
I will compensate you with $35 for the running
arround and transportation and also to consider the
item sold to me
I e-mailed him back telling him I'd keep my parts and he could put his phony money order where the sun dont shine
