Just had the same text of that number because I am selling a PS3 on Kijiji
Had a weird feeling cause he asked me to ship it to Africa and wanted everything to be done RIGHT NOW even if I told him I was at work !!
Be carefull
Yeah, got a reply to one of my Kijiji posts from this number. He wanted to buy my iPod for his daughter as a gift and send it to her in West Africa. He wanted to give me $130 above my asking price (including shipping cost); was going to pay me via PayPal or a bank transfer and have it shipped via Canada Post Air.
I was suspicious and glad the other posters had similar problems so I could confirm my suspicions.
