Yeah, I read about the PPP Powerbook scam, that's why I am being extremely cautious. Ok, here is the update!

This deal looks more and more like a scam now. He gave me his NY address, but it's actually an express air freight company! Then later in the email he says he actually lives in UK!!! He gave me his mobile phone number which he probably know for sure that I wasn't going to call since it's international call. Anyway, should I pull another PPP powerbook...or just email him with a big **** YOU? Hey, if other forum can pull it off, maybe we can too

How do we know *this* is not a scam to get us to pony up for fictional shipping charges - that would be a nice twist

Personally a big ignore is a lot less work and these things are really only funny the first time.

Yeah, I don't think you can get them to pay custom fees when you've sent it to NY. Just ignore it IMHO

A money order is just a good as cash. It would be awful hard to scam someone after you give them cash for an item.
