Does this sound dodgy to you?

Sounds very dodgy - reply back I would like to speak with you via phone in order to ensure a good transaction for both of us.

120 pounds for postage and inconvenience? All he wants is your account number, and name? Yikes.... walk away.

You may as well just ship it to Nigeria because that is where the scam is coming from

Full on scam no question. Absolutely no doubt

It's a scam...i would never trust anyone who say would give extra for postage....walk away. I would.

Agreed. Walk away.
