Default I can't believe conmen are this desperate
I just put a for sale add in a local paper for windows xp collection only and I get an email response asking if it's still available, so I send him my phone number and advise that it is still available and this is the response back.

Hi there, thanks for your quick response, i will only have 2 good and clean phones.I was just searching for something i can send as a birthday present to my friend that has just been posted to west Africa on a training course until i came across your item and i really want to buy it but I'll be needing your help with the postage abroad i would have loved to come and collect then post it myself but unfortunately im presently in Berlin on a business trip so i'll really be happy if you can help me.I'll be offering you 50 pounds for the postage cost via royal mail So kindly send me a PayPal payment request of the total cost of the item plus the postage cost and i'll make the payment asap.I do hope to read from you soon.

This is the local Thursday Echo, how desperate are these people getting. [thumbdown][cursing][thumbdown]

My thoughts exactly, how desperate are they if they're trying to fleece a copy of XP off someone from a local paper but I just found that the local paper gives you 1 paper add and two weeks in the Essex Exchange & Mart, still strange that he's getting it in berlin but it could be found online I guess

FYI, you have just given out your phone number and name to all of FM. Don't know if you care, but just a heads up. [surrender]
