i don't know if this is the right place to ask ><
but im selling a broken ipod on ebay and this guy with this email OfficiallyAdepoju@yahoo.com offered me $300.
i was like whattt. then i found out he did it to other people too. i told him to send me the money first
but he sent me an auction payment so i have to ship it first i think.
and he's from Nigera. >< have you guys heard of him? is he a scam?
sorry if this is a stupid question

never ever ever send an item first unless you personally know the buyer.
ebay is filled with people trying to scam you. especially if they contact you by email outside of ebays in-site contact system.
ive had people with weird contact info/locations try to scam me before. if they were to buy it they'd bid on it, not contact you. if ever someone offers you too much for an item you think is worth alot less, just use your common sense for better judgment =P

my friend got scammed 2 ipods and xbox from a person from nigeria, dont do it

it sounds like a scam.

check this link out link

omg no no no no NO!!!!! DONT DO IT!!

ITS THE NIGERA SCAM!!
omfg.
noo dont do it
my brother almost fell for it

i was in the same boat when i was in middle school... don't do it!

mine was also from nigeria, family traveling and needs "item" to be gift wrapped cause its a birthday...sh1t i was pissed.

wow.. this almost happened to me too.
it kind freaked me out when I found out
it was a scam. I had to research about
it.. xD! lol but yeah, don't believe it.

I read about something like this. Most scams and stuff come from Nigeria and seriously if the guy wanted it SO BAD he would've bidded or done the buy it now option instead of emailing you. Don't give in... Even if your iPod if broken XD His name was REALLY suspicious too. Most people who are fakes and scammers seem to have a weird name likE: OfficialSomething, OnlyTheeBest, TrusttMee

Stupid names like that. How's his feedback?

Guys. If it's too good to be true, It most likely is.

What happened? Did you send it?

It sounds like a scam for sure, esp. from Nigeria.

It's a scam for sure if it's any part of Africa. ESPECIALLY, Nigeria & Cameroon.
