I listed a laptop for my friend on ebay, and this morning when i woke up, it had been bought for "buy it now".
Anyway, i get an email from the buyer: "Hi, I would like to pay for this item via Bank Transfer/Postal Order, you know my address is in UK,but right now i'm in Nigeria,i was sent there on a Bussiness Trip,and i want to give it to the Head of the Department as a gift, so i will like to know if you can ship it to Nigeria,i dont mind paying any amount for the shipping cost,pls if you can do this for me i'll be very grateful.if you accept kindly send your full name and account details which am going to send it to.If you want me to pay via Postal Order kindly send me your full name and address so that payment will be made as soon as possible. Thanks." I thought straight away, this is a scam, until I read his user accoutn details: http://myworld.ebay.com.au/djfirework/ He has 119 positive feedback. So, i got thinking, and maybe his account has been hacked by some scammer in nigeria. But if i sent him my bank details, what is the point of the scam? What's he going to do with my details? Do they just get a kick out of hacking peoples accounts and ruining listings? I sent an email to ebay with all this info.. But i'm still not sure if it's a hoax?
