husband who is on a
diplomatic mission abroad and i will add you 100GBP to the sale price
of the item for the
cost of the shipment abroad through Royal Mail International Delivery
Signed For,so kindly
send me a request from paypal for the total cost of the item and
including postage so that
i could be able to complete the payment and also do get the item off

If it feels wrong, it usually is. There's a reason why people don't just buy these things in a normal way, and it isn't usually a good reason. Why the hell can't she buy it normally & then ship it to here husband, who by the sounds of it is either filming the next James Bond film or crawling around the Tora Bora caves looking for bad people....
Change your password and walk away is my advice.

You'll get your money into your paypal account

Once saw a website, whereby people had a bit of fum with these Nigerian Scammers who used to send you "my dead uncle has a shedload of cash in a british bank account" scam email
Trick was to string them along as long as possible!

419Eater is hilarious... spent a week reading the whole site back in 2005 and was in stitches all the way through... :grin: :grin:

419Eater got a dude killed :scared: they persuaded a scammer that they were a dying priest in Somalia with a chest full of cash so scammer sent his son there, the first son died so then he and his second son went and were never heard from again :scared:

And I'm meant to feel sorry for them? Somalia is a warzone they must have been really stupid, greedy or both to go there.

No, I didn't feel sorry for them either, in fact I was (bit embarrassed to admit this) laughing throughout the entire read. First he sent his son, the son got killed, what does he do, send his next son and himself... stupidity and greed in equal measure.

Of course, it might just be lies in an attempt by scammers to have 419Eater closed ? :confused:
