  • This is the latest email from the "buyer"
    Thanks for the reply and am sorry for disturbing you again . please am new to this site can you send the link to me so that i can continue with the payment, i will be waiting to hear from you again.

    Now, I'm sorry if this really is a genuine buyer, but it's just making me very very wary of the whole situation :confused:

    You should be wary. It is a scam of some sort!

    You'll send an email in reply, which will have your email address.

    Then you'll get a fake "sold now" email, pretending to be from the Amazon, claiming to have purchased your phone.

    You'll send the phone, but won't have received any payment.

    Apart from the genuine "Sold now" emails from Amazon don't have address details in, forcing you to go into your seller account and print out the dispatch note, so if you get an email from Amazon with an address in, alarm bells should be ringing.

    Not worth bothering with them, make sure you block them on Ebay
