Would this guy really pay me $900 for my wii? via paypal? or is it a scam?

Question

i posted my wii on craigslist for $350, and this guy contacted me and said he would pay me $900 for it via paypal, for shipping it out to nigeria to his son. Do you think he would really pay me via paypal.. i mean would the payment come through? or does it sound like a scam? $900 for somethin that costs $300???

Answer 1

dude, beware, plenty off scams from that part of the world. Remember this: If it looks like too good to be true, then pretty much it is too good to be true!

Answer 2

Remember this:  all of these offers from Nigeria are scams.  People have been fooled many times by this same method.

Answer 3

scam man don't do it he is just scamming you

Answer 4

Biggest scam ever, don't get conned.

Answer 5

$900? it is a big scam they would only do that if they where the richest person in the world or if it was a scam don't do it if it is real tell him u want cash and u need to get the money first then give the wii

Answer 6

Are the shipping costs $550? I'm not up to scratch on the exchange rate, lol. With Paypal though, do you not have the ability to receive payment before you post?

Hmm, best play it safe, e-mail him & tell him that he could buy a nice new one online which could also get shipped to Nigeria for much cheaper. It does sound a bit suspect!
