Ebay related...
so i am selling some jewerly on ebay and i get this email if i can ship to russia so i respond ....sure Blah Blah Blah... and then i get this email...what do you think?? The auction is ending in an hour...
"Hi, thank you very much for your response! Let me tell you what I need
exactly.
My cousin is having a birthday soon and I would like to make a present for
him.
I want it to be something special. For example your item packed in gift wrap
with a card inside for his wife.
Please let me know what you can offer. Also I want to send $500 via Western
Union wire transfer as an additional money present
for my cousin. The only problem
is I want to make them surprised and don't want them to know that the
present is from me
to let it remain a surprise.
I am looking for a seller who could help me with that.
I will pay for item, packaging, express shipping and WU fees of course.
As I said they live in Russia.
Please let me know if you could help me with that!
I will send the money for everything via PAYPAL upfront ofcourse.
I could even pay you for a trouble let's say $200 - please understand it's
very
important for me!
I hope to hear from you soon! GOD bless you!
Have a nice day!!!"

Re: Ebay related...
I would be leary
b/c it sounds very similar to a popular scam on craigs list
I would google "scams" or ebay scams- or check the ebay scam section- b/c this doesn't sound normal to me

Re: Ebay related...
I've been selling on ebay for awhile now...and I've never heard of anything like this.
My feeling is, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Why would he pay you $200, someone he doesn't know, to do that? VERY strange.
