Bookmark topic
I was just in contact with a guy selling a P910 and nokia 7610 on ebay. I asked about these phones and he has offered me the TWO phones for $460!!
I am very very tempted but am very scepticle. I dont know what to do. He is pressurising to close the deal now.
And will only accept Western Union (already alarm bells going) and says paypal is bad.
So do you think it is worth the risk or just forget about it? Is it a scam?
Any help will be great

Oh i know. Sounds amazing. €1,560 worth of phones for €381!
So forget it then, you are recommending?
The if only factor is biting at me. Still not sure

Name the seller and post a link to the listings. Western union is unsecure and you are not protected like you are in paypal.
Also ask yourself why are they willing to sell you both handsets at such a cheap price. Could be something fishy going on here.

Avoid this offer like the plague! If he runs off with your money then you have no way of getting it back. I doubt very much if this guy has ever seen the phones let alone got them to sell.

If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and smell like a duck....

I said that i wont do it by western union and that i dont have enough money til paid on thursday.
He then said to pay half now and hell send the phones by fedex express and ill have em in 24 hours and then pay the rest on thursday.
Do it sound any better now? Or is he just trying to get what he can.
Ill post link when i am 100% sure its not legit.

If you seriously want to see if its for real soooo badly (which i think its not) then use a courier service so you pay the courier the money and the seller only gets the money when you get the product and tell the courier service to give the money to the seller and if you dont receive it thenn you get your money back(i think you have to pay a fee to the courier?)
Use a well know courier service(there are some recommended on Ebay)
