Comments =Hello Seller,
i'm using this medium to make enquiry on your Item.i will like you to get back to me with the general condition of the item and ALso if the pictures of the item are available i will so much apreciate it. you can also include the
final asking price and your phone number.
i will be waiting to read from you.please treat as urgent.
DO NOT do business with anyone who offers to send you payment for a higher amount than your selling price with the understanding that you'll send back the balance.
Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be acting on behalf of a "client" or another "customer".
Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be from Nigeria or West Africa
If you agree to accept a check payment, then do not send anything, gear or "change" before the check cleared. And be careful, if you manage to clear a fraudulent check then you may be liable for the damages if the bank finds out later. Make sure your bank authenticates the check.
If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is.
