Thank You !

Sounds like a scam to me... you send the cash and I BET the buyer's payment doesn't go through...

I agree, don't do it. What's wrong with him putting the money in when he gets the wallet?

Re: E-bay! WEIRD EMAIL I GOT FROM A BUYER!

sounds like it could be some sort of money laundering scheme. I wouldn't do it.

Do they think people are dumb???

First I'd report them to Ebay,
Second, DON"T DO IT.


I've heard schemes like that only with swiss or off shore bank accounts.

I get alot of this type of thing (spam mail) to a yahoo account I have. Some crap about his family was killed in an auto accident and if I send him $5,000, I will get a certified check for $15,000. Address to send this money to? Zimbabwae. Report him!!
