Does This Sound Right (eBay Content!)
I've just emailed a chap about an engine... he's agreed to sell it to me now at a seriously low price!
He has no feedback, and doesn't accept PayPal... he wants to conclude the deal through SquareTrade... this is his last message
hello,
square trade its an ebay service...
ill contact ebay and inform them that you are my buyer...then ebay will end you a payment invoice...you will send the money to an ebay agent...ebay
check the payment...will confirm me your payment...ill ship the engine...you will receive the engine...ebay will forward the money to me...
ok?
regards!
Does that sound right? I thought Square Trade was a warranty service!?
I'm suspecting scam, but I'm letting it run until all the facts are in.

I'm trying to think what he can use those details for?
Could he access my account with those details?

Yep - established that SquareTrade do not take cash as a third party... he's been told to politely go away!
Shame really, I was so looking forward to another RS4 engine at £500

That was his reply... not mine!
I observed very British rules of diplomacy when dealing with him... I didn't swear once!

I just sent a message, wonder if I'll get a reply
I can't do direct money transfer. But would you take Nigerian Naira via a Western Union bank transfer? I just ate 419 hot-dogs in a competition
and got paid 120,000 Nigerian Naira. I think it's more than the engine is worth but perhaps I could get the competition to transfer all the
money to you then you could include the change in the crate with the engine. They even gave me a t-shirt to show how many hot-dogs I ate. It's
very nice. It's says "419 Eater" on it. How strange- I just looked up your e-mail address on google and it keeps on coming up
associated with scams. To$$pot.

Oh dear... had an email waiting for me from him asking "how's my feedback".
Looked at ebay and seen that he's just gone and bought 2 of my 'buy it now' items under another name, and instantly left me negative
feedback... TOSSER! First in over 180 transaction and over 2 years of using the service... 
Now I have to go through the rigmarole of putting it all right!
