So I put up my laptop for sale on craigslist, and I got a response with some interest, I quoted the price at 1200$ and this is his response...I mean...paypal is pretty secure, and so is money order - but I see west africa and the hair on the back of my neck stands up lol.
would you do it? this is his e-mail back to me:
The Laptop is for my wife birthday gift which is coming up in some days time.She works in the United states Consulate office in west africa.Am a very busy man and would like you to help me send this item to my wife in West Africa for her birthday.i will pay you the sum of $1375.It will cover up for the cost of the laptop,the assessories and shipping to my wife in west africa.I will be paying you through PAYPAL,Its secure and reliable and it protects the two people involved in the transaction.I will need your paypal account so i can make the payment right away and hope you send the item to my wife as soon as you receives your payment from paypal.
Thanks for your help and understanding.
Robert Adams.
NB:Alternatively,i can send you a money order through merchant express money order,
www.memoco.com. If you will like to receive your payment through money order,then let me have your contact address.

edit: I guess it depends on if he wants me to send it prior to getting the money order if I go that route - but how do you fuck with paypal?
