[Ei Khine]

Haha such a funny guy.
I also received the same thing. It was quite an interesting story he put up there. Well well, lesson learned "do not trust everyone".

 

[joe]

Agree,especially south africa Nigeria cos the country always like to tell stories until you guys believe and fell for the traps.
So never believe these made stories from them.Until you your full payment being made into your account,then you ship out your item out of singapore and also ask for the address to be ship out. If the detail is not given correct or incomplete.Dont ship out.Unless the address is comfirm by them.If not. dont send.

 

[N iKon]

Hey hey! They are still active! As in the Nigerian scammers! Haha! Wonder how many "sisters and cousins" they have that need a Digital SLR camera.. Hmmm They even wanted to offer me more for the situation I'm in! Thanks to you guys for putting up about being extra careful! Haha. Now, I'm adding more fuel to keep the fire of safety running. Fire zoning from scammers. Burn M*@£$%*****ER!! HAHA!!

The payment is being processed by my bank, so go and post the item, then scan the singpost receipts and slip, then send it to my bank via email, so that they will be able to finalize the payment procedure, in order for them to transfer the money ok?

Yup, true, he's still around, I also got the same email... just now!

"I have a request regarding the set, and I am wondering if you can assist me due to my workloads, and numerous activities. Respond as soon as you can to enable me provide you with the details on how you can be of help to me."
