Hi Guys..

Here's one for you all. We all know the ebay scams don't we?

You bid on a Synth, but don't win it - then you get all the scam
emails telling you they are also ∗selling∗ a the same synth at a
bargain price etc...

I replied to one such email asking if he was in the UK.
(I'd just bid on a Mini Moog but was outbid.)
I told him I would only entertian these two options:

1. I could either go to his place, check out the synth and then pay
cash before leaving with it.

Or 2. if he would be so kind as to send me the synth I will check it
out and if it all works and I like it I will send him my payment,
telling him that he can trust me - I am not a scammer but an honest
guy etc...

He now emailed me to ask for my address, as he is going to "send me
the package"...

Something still doesn't seem right about this. Does this guy just
want my address for some reason? Should I send him my address and
wait and see if he does send the Mini? Is this a new type of scam
that I don't know about yet?

I am slightly confused I must say.

Any advice, thoughts would be much appreciated.

Cheers.
TOM
