I am selling my PS3 over craigslist.org and got a message back from this guy and it seemed legit at first but now I'm not sure. Here are the 2 messages I recieved.

Hello seller,

inquiry about it if still available.....I also would like to know it`s condition
and the last price is going for.I am willing to buy as soon as possible. kindly

Do you think this is legit or a scam? Should I give my address? I am torn...

 

ITS A SCAM!!! the guys english is too wierd I get those emails daily on all kinds of $hit..its a scam my friend.

By the way if your local in the city (BAY AREA) I may be interested in the PS3 or trade for some parts holla back.

Ohh snap I see your from the midwest. hahaha if you were local and it was a 60 gig I would be down to scoop it from you.

 

Please tell me your joking? Of course it is a scam.

 

I'm not local but PM me if you are serious.

 

scam someone tried to do that to me on ebay...

 

WHAT! tell that guy that youll ship under your conditions. if he really wants it he'll do what you say good luck but that sounds fishy

 

BTW I have never been scammed before so I wouldn't know. Also, I asked him about 1,000 questions and requested a number and address first.

 

Thanks for the help so far guys, I am pretty new at online selling.

 

without a doubt a scam.

Dont trust 'em.

 

ya it's a scam. check out this one i got for my ps3:

Hi,
My cousin sent me the link to this Ad..and i'm interested in making an urgent purchase.
I'm actually buying it as a birthday gift for my son who attends college overseas.Its time for his birthday coming up next week and i promise to get him a surprise gift.
I will be paying you through usps money order and will proceed with your payment as soon as i have the name and address payment will be issued.
Also shipping will adequately be taken care by me as i want this shipped directly to his school, you need not to worry about that as i have a shipping account with fedex that will handle that.
Pls get back as soon as you receive this mail with the name and address for the money order to facilitate a speedy payment.
Thanks

 

Well that does it, it's definately a scam and a half. expletive, and I got my hopes up for nothing. Maybe I should send him my old college address and see what happens.

 

Wingless?

 

Get your buddies over to some random address and give the shipper dude your cell number, and tell him to call when hes like 10 minutes away from the fake address. Then see what's up, lol.

 

Hahaha, that would be great, the money order is a fake so I beat some shady ***** *** up and down the block.

 

BTW I told him to use paypal or no deal, can he scam me using paypal or not once I recieve the payment?

 

Well once the payment is 100% comfirmed through paypal, then no problems at all. I'd probably wanna ship it out still, or meet up somewhere else other than my home.

Most likely he's just gonna deny the paypal transfer.

 

never trust those biattchess

 

I hate craigslist.
