    It's a scam. The next thing if you respond to it is they will tell you to wire money.

    So, are you going to do it? With a two year international warranty, how can you go wrong? image

    I figured this is a scam, how obvious is it, but should I forward this to the seller to inform him in case someone bites and also should I forward it to ebay, if so where do I send it to?? Thanks

    Best Regards,

    Jeff

    ar18, I hope you are just joking. If you seriously have any doubt as to whether or not that is a scam, you are in serious trouble.

    Sound like so bozo from over seas trolling ebay for email addresses. His email doesn't really read like he actually knows what you bid on. Report it to Ebay.

    I hope you guys don't think I bidded on this item from this seller, I bidded on this item, but the email isn't from the seller, I didn't link it so I dont know if everyone checked it out. The real seller seems pretty solid and it was a really low bid, didn't expect to get it, although you never know. Best Regards,

    I think his brother is the President of Nigeria and needs to find a safe place in the States to stash some cash. I got a letter from him once, poor guy. image

    I would forward it to ebay. The seller of the auction you're bidding on might like to know about it as well. It might be someone trying to cause trouble for the seller, or a scam, or both.

    A 2-year warranty...just in case it morphs into a fake after 22 months...

    You could always mess with him for fun. You know.... send the wrong Routing number or bank account.

    You could agree and then negotiate an even lower price. Wonder how low he'd go?

    My friend was selling a motorcycle on the internet for roughly $900. His scammer eventually offered $15,000 for the bike! Using a cashiers check.... of course.
