I'm selling my laptop. A prospect got in touch very quickly despite my high price and would like to have the device delivered to North Yorkshire.
Does that sound serious? Plus he calls me "friend" all the time…
Thank you!
Edit: Thank you all for the quick reply. Blocked the buyer.
Even if he wants to have it delivered to Tibet, - is his right.
IF he pays first.
I think it will be tricky with him again. Might be a cheat
ONLY go into bank transfer - nothing else.
You are falling for a scammer. Ever heard of Nigeria Connection?
Apparently he or she is suspicious and prefers to get advice here.
Danger recognized - danger averted.
I wouldn't have a good gut feeling and would only get involved if he pays in advance by bank transfer or has the laptop picked up and paid in cash.
There's no right to delivery. This is an agreement between VK and K.
But it doesn't matter, this scam is known and old.
Is a fraud. You have probably received several of these requests with delivery to the UK.
Proceed as follows:
Ignore the request completely
Report eBay
You're supposed to be ripped off
with a dubious bank by email: in order to be able to release the amount, proof of the dispatch number is required…
there's no money and your Schläppi is gone.
