Major scam....I got one of those, and I emailed back (just to mess with him/her) Asked for name of shipping company..Got a bizarre response, not answering my question....Just a way to steal money from you.

I've heard of this scam before....run, don't walk, away from it. Bad news.

This is definitely a SCAM - I got the same response from a "buyer". Don't even reply to them.

Watch out for so called PayPal payments. He even copied the PayPal logo and had the nerve to say a payment was made. The Nigerian address was the first clue to me. I forwarded it to PayPal - it was a scam. When I wrote him back letting him know he was busted, the clown had the nerve to send me an email that was supposed to be from the FBI. The English was horrible and the content was amusing. The clue for me was the FBI logo he copied into the email - it was for FBI jobs. And the hyperlinks did not even work. First and last time I use CL.

DO NOT ACCEPT THE OFFER, YOU WILL GET CHEATED......

Well, I disagree with selling to the first person who shows up with cash in hand. Recently I responded to items for sale on eBay, seller said yes, she'd accept my offer. But it was a 2 hour drive. Hubby filled the car, we planned our day for the trip and when I called the seller for an address, she had sold it to a local person who could get there faster. I realize there's no way to guarantee that a buyer is serious, but at least tell the second caller that they are next in line if the first one doesn't show up. Just my two cents worth.

This is definitely a scam...report them to ebay if you can.

Just how does this Google voice work? I have never heard of this before. Please share with those of us who are not familiar. Thanks
