I have something for sale on my local Kijiji site and I get a response saying this ... Quote:
hello dear friend pls regive me this classifies site again
Ok thanks,but i am right now out of the state to come for the picked up ok, besides i want to buy it as a gift for my son, so you will need to help me to get it ship out to my son who is studding in Western African ok, mind you i will cover what ever it cost for the shipping cost so kindly get back to me with your paypal email id so that i can make the payment and if preferable you can send me payment request from your paypal account and i will make the payment as soon as i received the payment request from you ok thanks and hope to read from you
| Sounds pretty fishy but just wanted to see if any of you guys have dealt with something like this before. Theres a few warning signs as there are no states in Canada plus PayPal on a local site? My spidey senses are tingling

Either way, you may wanna watch as this may be viewed as skirting the rules on FS items  |
