you can offer with full name,address and valid phone number to send the money orders for the payment of the item and shippment to you.u will make payment to the shipper for him to come for pick up.
and this is after i asked him why does it have to go this way

"hello,thanks for your mail.i have a reliable shipper here in the UK and he will be shipping some other items for me with the guitar am about to buy.their service is express delivery with insurance.i have made some transactions with them.kindly mail me you details to proceed with payment.

Regards"

Screw it. Say PayPal from a confirmed address or no deal.

Always be safer than sorry.

Dude that's a scam - run, repeat...don't walk, RUN away from this deal.

I had the same "approach" sent to me last year when I was selling an XBOX 360 on e&ay

Re: guys help


Definately a scam. The money order is a counterfeit and the bank doesn't pick up on it until they try to get the money from the issuing bank...but there isn't one. They will get their money alright...straight out of your account. This is a very popular scam and has been pretty well documented. The seller looses everything, all of the money (not just your "cut" from the high dollar money order) and the product. I would report it to the postmaster if I were you.

All that offer needed was a mention of payment in Nigerian oil money and it would have been the perfect scam...
