Ebay Scammers, now theres one less.

I put my iPod on ebay the other day, well 2 days later someone used the buy it now. Well this guy said he was in london and wanted it shipped to his daughter who was studying in africa/nigeria. He even went as far as to create a fake email from paypal, it looked pretty good, but not good enough. I called Paypal and they said it was fake. It even had a name and full billing address of his "credit card" it was some address in MI.
Anyway my point - One less of these B**tards out there, it can happen to anyone. Be careful.

Yeah, but I think at this point anyone who sends items or money to anywhere in Africa, especially Nigeria, deserves what they get.

Thats why I only do transaction in the U.s. Everytime I have a sale worldwide I get scammers. 90% of the time its from Nigeria as well. I sold a Gps on there and a guy from Nigeria wanted to send me $2500, take out $1000 for myself then send him the rest of the dough with the GPS.. uh huh...lol..
