Same story they fed me. Texted me at 3:30 am asking to buy my product. Told me hospital story too and daughters birthday is coming want too surprise her with a gift. Also asked if I have other electronics too sell them. Said add a note saying happy birthday love mom. Ship it to Nigeria because she was doing a charity retreat and would be there until after her birthday.
Texts my phone every 5-10 minutes too see if I have shipped it yet and won't stop them. It took telling her I reported you and this scam to get her too stop contacting me.
I posted something on bisman and they texted me exactly what someone else on here said.. "Hello, am interested in buying your item..(listed item here).. Please get back to me. Thanks". They sent money through "paypal" and I got an email from "paypal" saying I need to send package and provide shipping before I get the funds in my account. I called paypal to confirm and they said they do not send emails like that, IT IS A SCAM. Seriously. Don't do it. I'm a real person in Bismarck ND and this is crap. Paypal said they will investigate. The number was an ND number so it seemed legitimate, but it's a trick to get you to send the package but the money will never appear in your account. I texted them saying simply "Don't contact me again." and they did not respond because they know what they are doing! Paypal email said their name was Monica Barry. Said it's for her kid in Nigeria for her birthday. BEWARE.
This person text me wanting to buy a laptop that I had for sale. They made up a story that they would not be back in town for two weeks and wanted to pay through paypal.
Just yesterday morning at like 3:00am I got a text from this person. I am selling a small diamond ring. He said he was in the hospital for kidney surgery. He had an ND # so I didn't think anything of it. He said THE EXACT WORDS TO ME! about the happy birthday from mom. and adding the extra dollar. He wanted to use paypal too and I never use it really so I was like sure ok? I started feeling weird about the whole thing....Then this morning at 4:00a.m. I got a text of the NIGERIA ADDRESS. Then I knew this is a scam. I am glad I found this site it assures me that I am kinda smart. He said look at your pay pal i sent the money, then all of a sudden this morning my paypal password doesn't work! So i reset my email and paypal passwords. There was no transactions in there.
