Really? they seem so genuine...erm, not :rolleyes: hun, ignore!!! Don't even respond :tongue: I had a few like this when I was selling my last car :zzz: they are fictional characters made up by unscupulous people playing on your sympathies to get all kinds of personal details from you, ultimately your bank details.

I've also just got a email from ebay saying that i have an unpaid item strike, to solve the problem click on the link below.

 

I haven't even bought anything, and when i went to my ebay i had no msg's.

 

I'm sick of these bloody piss artists:mad:

my father inlaw unwittingly hit a link with this kind of message, and next thing he knew he was sellinh a £15k merc for 8 grand. They took his ebay identity and changed his password.

 

The only guarantee is that that tthe chances of this coming from Nigeria is about 105%
