I actually wanna buy the Asus laptop for my Son. he works at the United States Information Service (USIS) in Africa, he currently got transfered there as an international consultant.
He laments that life over there is very boring though he is gradually adapting to the new environment.
I have a very tight schedule due to my kinda job, So i want you to help me ship it to him over there after Payment of your item.
i will take care of the shipping cost. i can pay you via paypal, if you've got an account with them or can pay with an online money order,for the money order all i need is your full name and address for the payment. it's for delivery purpose because they deliver cash payment to one's doorsteps just like DHL,FEDEX etc delivers parcel to one's doorsteps.
I didnt get a call from this number but it was attached to an email that was sent to me in regards to something i was selling on craigslist. Come to find out they wanted me to send the package to NIGERIA and when i provided a tracking number the funds would be released by paypal. I contacted paypal and they said they never hold funds until something is shipped and that it is a scam.
West Africa isn't even a country. I got emails from "Pastor Mike" and attorney "Christopher Moore" in 'Texas'. Both had children working in the West African consulate who needed my laptop and were having birthdays. They were willing to send me money by paypal. I told the attorney to send me a western union money order instead. Never heard back from him. I think he understood the implication. Good thing I am not stupid.
