Mac OSX Coder Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hi I was previously trying to sell some stuff from this website (just random stuff) and some guy approaches me and says he wants the game. He then goes on saying how he's in Africa (red lights went up here for me) but he told me he really wanted that game. Now he's saying he's NOT a scammer and will pay me for shipping costs etc once he gets the game. Is he a scammer? I think so very but I'll like to hear your feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 If he doesn't have several posts on the board spread out over time (not all created like yesterday), then I would be suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sHARD>> Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 There are many users from African countries around (mostly South Africa). If the user has a lot of posts, that's a good sign. However, don't ever let someone pay you for something (like expensive shipping) after they get it, unless it's half up front, half on reciept (a standard practice). Often times people will claim they never got it, thus, they don't have to pay shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oregano Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 im not sure why he would need a game "really badly" i agree-if he is a good member u can probably trust him i agree with shard as well-pay shipping first, otherwise he could run away and ull never find him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
