|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Possible scam? Scott Schupbach, Photographer Fenton | MI | U.S.A. | Posted: 4:27 PM on 11.19.08 ->> Just wanted some other opinions on this.I have my Mark llN listed on the local Craigslist as well as here in the Classifieds.I received this email today.Any one else think this sounds a little fishy? Thanks for getting to me, i want you to know that i am serious about buying your item on craigslist and i will not be able to pick up the item because i am not in US presently. I am in Bahamas for an official conference, i will be glad if you can help me to ship it down to my colleague that went to an African country who is in need of it for a project. So i am ready to pay you $2,300.00 CAD for the item including the shipping cost Via USPS,Global Express mail (EMS) and i will prefer paying you via PayPal, because it is very fast and secured and it is the only mode of payment i have here, so get back to me with your PayPal email id for the instant payment. However if you don't have a pay pal account you can just log on to www.paypal.com and set up an account. It is free,easy and secure to pay and receive money through pay pal. Get back to me asap please. Elizabeth  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Frischling will say a few words, post a link to his blog perhaps, then 5 others will make puns about Steven always linking to his blog, fish smelling, etc.. Then 25 people will mark me off topic, huh, and innappropriate [this is not a challenge to do so, but it will happen]. With 6 funny's Don't sell to anyone but a SS member or someone on craigslist in person.  This post is:  Informative (2) | Funny (6) | Huh?

If you are posting this question on the message board, then you probably have doubts. There are other buyers out there.  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?
