    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    do you think thier money order will be any better than thier english ? its a scam, ive won the nigerian lottery, the UK lottery, and one somewhere in asia, if it looks like BS and smells like BS do you need to taste it ?

    If you were to do it the most likely thing that would happen is. When the money order arrives it will be for a lot more them it is supposed to be..they will inform you it was on accident or some other reason. And they will ask you to include a refund for the overage with the coin when you ship it. Long after the coin is gone you will find out the money order is bogus.

    Tell him to send you the money order, but you may not be able to ship the coin immediately as you are currently very busy at your FBI office investigating international postal scams. Also be sure to tell him to include his name, home address and phone number.

    its a scam for sure but whenever in doubt tell a potential customer that you only take usps postal money orders. you can cash them at the post office then its on the post office if they cashed a bad money order. they are supposed the check it first.

    who is the buyer so we all can block him since its obvious scammer?

    Just FYI, it takes a bank 30-60 days to determine that a MO is fake, that's how these scams work.

    That's the bank's problem, not yours.

    Tell him you can do it but you can't ship till 90 days after money order arives,as there are alot of fake money orders coming from his part of the world.
