HI ,

I'm very glad that the item is still available!
First of all I want to apologize for my English and for
my late answer, my mom was sick and I was out of town.
I decided to buy your item so please tell if it`s
necesarry to bid on it.
Like I said you in my first email I want you to ship it
via FedEx 2 day Express because it will be a gift and I
need it fast. Because I want to be safe for both of us
we will close this deal using http://www.Escrow-LTD.com
A very trustable and professional escrow service.
This service will protect both of us.Please go to
http://www.Escrow-LTD.com and open a new account with them.
Then INITIATE the transaction and please include the ebay
item# on the description.
I'm already a member and i'm waiting for you to start
the transactreion. For inspection period i think 2 days
(from the day I receive the package) it`s enough.
After you will start the transaction you will see that
I'm a serious person and I have closed 8 positive
transactions through them.

Best Regards/

You never can tell if its bogus or not. Personally i wound not go near it. If he/she wants to buy make it on your terms not there's

It's a scam - don't touch it. The style and wording are very similar to other things I have seen or read about.

the site is registered to some bloke called Eric Geisler in Madrid????

his phone number is

tel: 86 10 88888888

sound pretty dodgy to me

i got caught up in one they start phoning you when you turn umm down, they sent me a proper cheque but apparently when it clears you send car and the cheque bonces after its cleared, you can usually spot umm if theres a sob story attached trying to make it look ligit

You were daft enough to give them a phone number? Well, you asked for it then......

The registration page is not secure. Don't sign up for anything. There was probably a delay while he set up the web page

If they start hassling you by phone say you'll set Kindoki on them.

They'll soon leave you alone after that!

Cheers,
James

This is a genuine escrow site. Note the https:// which denotes its' secure status. Tell him you'll go through the proper channels or not at all.
