"I am Col. Steven James of the U.S. Marine Corps,Am currently on duty and am buying the laptop for my son who study abroad as a surprise gift, your price is OK and i will add $80 for shipping. I hope you will understand my situation and get back to me now with your PayPal account email for an instant payment"
Same thing happened to me today. Wanted me to send my $1200 in camera equipment to his son studying abroad in West Africa for an extra $80. Big time scam.
