I got the same but he advised me he's sending it to his son in Nigeria for schooling.

Why so skeptical? Haven't you heard? The schools in Nigeria are AMAZING!

Yeah...for teaching scammers. :dft012:wink

Why are you so surprised he replied to you? They'll do everythmg to try yo convince you they have no intention to scam or defraud you. I guess some people may doubt their original conviction if the scammer tries to defend himself.

Wow. The spambots have been "upgraded."
They sound a lot smarter now than they did last month.

[aggieman]

sounds legit to me. ;) Just a thoughtful parent wanting to buy a phone for his son. I'm sure the phone selection isn't exactly the greatest in Nigeria :ok:ok

[The Apple]

Gladly accept his rupees in full, and advance!

[KabaModern]

That's great, Ramesh. How much did you sell it to him for? :dft012:wink
