I am writing this to advise others about this suspicious behaviour.

Using Buy Now this person stopped my auction and wrote to me the letter below. I specified Australian shipping only in the auction, after receiving this I advised Ms Smith and relisted the item with Buy Now option.

Hello

I am  Mary smith from Australia but now i am  in London now  for  business and i will like to buy this item from you and send to my  assistance who just travelled to Nigeria on a bussiness trips.The reason why i want it to be sent by you to my associate is because of the nature of my job which would not give me a chance to send it myself. I will really be grateful if you can get me the shipping and insurance cost of this item to Lagos,Nigeria via Air  Mail . I would want you to give me the full information of where you want the money sent to so that i can make the payment on time.  and i will like to used  postal order or bank deposit pls tell which payment you will like me to used pls confirm in time so i can make the payment to you.

Thanks
