I posted an ad on Kijiji to sell an engagement ring. This guy contacted me via text and told me he wanted to buy it for his fiance, but was on a business trip and needed be to ship it to her, said he would pay $500 extra for me to ship it. He asked for my paypal email address, which I gave to him, however it seemed fishy so I deleted my paypal account. He kept asking for more information and than offered to send an email money transfer. Told him I didn't want to to do business with him and stopped responding to his text. He was very impatient (sending me things like "hellloooooo....." if I didn't respond in 5 second to his text. This guy is a scammer for sure.
He was wanting to buy a engagement ring and a band from me... ship it to Nigera, and a fake Paypal e-mail... since when does Paypal come to your Spam box, it definitely wasnt legit.
Just got some SMS feeds from this number a few min. after posting some camera gear on Kijiji Ottawa.
Has the typical "I'm buying for a friend, but I am out of town" B.S. Offered to pay an extra $300 for the shipping.
Scam written all over this-- so obvious! I have blocked additional SMS from the number and have reported to the Canadian Anti-fraud Centre. I recommend people do this.
This guy is texting me right now asking about my iphone and telling me to ship it claiming hes on a business trip and willing to pay me 200$ extra to ship it.
