Ebay

[wduk2005]

Someone has offered me a unbelievable price for a phone on ebay onyly prob is they want it sent to nigeria and they live in india themselves. i've seen a lot of phones on there saying that they wont sell to nigeria, does any one know why this is, also the bidder has zero feedback but says will pay through paypal which is supposed to be safe isnt it.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me, as the phone ends tomorrow and i really cant afford to get ripped off.

Its more than likely to be a con. Don't do it

It is a well-known con. Read this excellent advice here.

Tell them the phone wont be sent anywhere till the money is cleared and sitting in your account.

It's probably a scam - especially if they want to pay by cheque or western union

Remember the well-known maxim: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't.

definately a scam. I had a similar offer also for a phone to be sent to Nigeria. Despite refusing their offer, they still put in the highest bid and I had to re-advertise the phone.
