I have a dude saying he wants to buy an instrument. Doesn't want to directly pay a PayPal invoice, says his insurance company will pay, and then I'm to ship it to Wyoming and his insurance company will ship it to his nephew in Paris. (Why he thinks I can't ship it to Paris myself is beyond me.)
This is starting to sound like a scam. Maybe they have some way of getting a refund without sending the instrument back? It's very odd.
Here's his latest email:
===============
Alright be informed that you would have it shipped to my insurance company's courier agent who would take care of the delivery to Paris.
Here's the delivery address:
Name: xxxx xxxxx
Address: xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx
City: Cheyenne
State: Wyoming
Zip code: 82001, United States
They would be responsible for the delivery to Paris. So I will be placing a payment for the guitar along with an additional postage fee which you would send to the courier agent.
I will keep you updated regarding the payment as soon as I can.
================
I sure as heck will not send any additional postage fee to any courier. The buyer can jolly well do that himself.
Going to let this play out a little longer, but certainly won't send out the instrument until PayPal reviews the transaction and assures me it's legit.
Anyone encountered this before?
