    A little too good to be true indeed...

    However, throw the curve ball and say you are in the UK next week and will meet with the cash as you want to inspect it first.

    If its true I would pay for the flight to collect myself :eek:

    Scam

    That sounds like the same 5D scam that tried to lure Rymus in. Luckily, our mod is way too intelligent for that... *cough*

    I'd rather burn my money than send it to one of these assholes, they piss me off no end.
    Although I did learn that England is in the United Kingdom from his mail. Cool.

    It could be a bit like the scam where people bought what they believed were Playstation 2's but were actually old IBM PS2's! In this case I wonder if the seller could have an old EOS D30 (which I don't imagine would be worth €600).

    No doubt his "bussiness" in England, United Kingdom is distributing the moolah of some African tyrant/Russian millionaire/arab sheikh who unfortunately died from a plane crash/coup/pork sandwich that went down the wrong way (well, maybe rule that one out for the sheikh) and who very generously left his entire ill gotten stash to his long lost cousin 15 times removed Mr. A. Jones of Scunthorpe.

    Run away, run away!

    leave russians out of it! we're honest criminals - only bribe and extortion, no cheap selling banking tricks!
