I am also receiving the same offers against a laptop posted on Kijiji.ca. He is just trying to get my personal information whether the bank account or PayPal. I think wanna make some thing fraudulent.
I got a reply from kijiji ad asking to pay with paypal and have it shipped for a friend, here is the conversation:
Buyer: Hello friend i saw your (name of product) on kijiji, what is your best offer?
Me:You may give me a counter offer, if you find cheaper elsewhere, i may match it for you. Let me know.
Buyer: Okay I have no problem with the price and i will like to knowthe present condition of the tiem because am getting it for my friend, but am on a business trip right now and i will be happy if you can help me ship it to my friend i will pay you extra $120 for the shipping cost to my friend. THANKS
Me: No problem pass by my house and we shall discuss it. My (product name) is in very good condition.
Cash only please.
Buyer: I understand how you feel i promise if you can help me i will pay for the shipping including the item fees and any order charges and that is why i said we should use paypal for the payment cos paypalis save and secure for both sllers and buyers online fastest way to pay and 100%fraud free for more info log on to www.paypal.com please i'm really interested in this item i will not.
Me: I strongly recommended meeting in person, since it will be secure for both of us. But if you insist, please send a full payment with the 120$ to (Paypal account) and i shall ship it to you once the full payment as passed.
The buyer still hasn't answered me back.....
Most likely fraud, but I rather meet the person FACE TO FACE on kijiji.... THATS THE WAY IT SHOULD
BE!
If you want to use paypal, use EBAY, they protect you on both ends... Cheers!
I was dealing with this last night when I posted an ad on Kijiji. It was an almost instant response from this number and said that exact same thing. I stopped responding and they texted me this morning with "Hey friend".
Someone should probably do something if possible so someone doesn't fall for this.
