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.

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.
