Speaking Of Ebay Scams

[jlfinkels]

I've got an item listed on eBay and received the following "question" today...

 

Dear Seller,

One of my clients has shown keen interest in your item and is ready to issue the payment in form of money orders/certified cashier's check at the buy it now price.I do hope that you accept money orders/certified cashier's check,

 

Kindly provide me with your FULL NAME,CONTACT ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER AND EMAIL ADDRESS so that i can have it forwarded to my client for immediate payment issuance.

 

I will like you to know that we shall solely be responsible for the shipping of the item to my client's destination as I do have a shipper who will arrange for local pick up with you ok...

Thanks and i will be waiting to hear from you.

Ben.

 

Of course, he's from Malaysia, no previous record of any eBay transactions, and simply checking for users benjazze1 through benjazze7 shows previous attempts at this kinda scam. eBay has of course been notified, but I just wanted to warn others.
