E-bay! WEIRD EMAIL I GOT FROM A BUYER!
Read this-
Hello, I would like to make a birthday present for my sister. Could you make me a favour and hide $1000 of cash in the wallet? I will pay you: (item price) + ($1000) + ($200) for you. Do you accept paypal ? How fast you can ship it out ? Shipping via USPS Global Express Mail (EMS) 3-5 Days to: Country: Lithuania City: Kaunas Postal code: 50023 Let me know total price. Thank You !
W T F ?????????????
Anyone ever get something like that?

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.

I would report the user ID to ebay so they can cancel the account.
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!!
