Somebody's trying to scam me
Guy just bought my laser buy it now and has zero feedback.Name does match a address and i even got a number.Comes up a 45 year old man and his wife with a phone number attached.I just wanna cover my bases before i relist in a few days since he will more than likely burn me and flake.His message on ebay sounds legit and claims to be sending $4k and for me to pay the shipper with the money and myself for the car.We will see how the call goes i'm fixing to google earth his house.

Re: Somebody's trying to scam me
Guy calls me and has a hard accent.Its funny the tracking number he sent me is for a letter coming from london.Guys name also doesnt match the ebay buyers name.He also called me from a local number?I'll try reversing that and see what i come up with.My girls sister works for a cell company and i know people in almost every company fo phones so i can get a adress and name for any cell number.
