You didn't need to ask as you already know it's a scam.

SCAM !!

Clearly a scam. They've obviously got bored with cars and started moving on to lower value items.

It would be a very brave / silly man to buy a wedding dress for his wife to be without even seeing it. Actually, it's probably the kind of thing I would do.

Thought as much Should I reply with anything funny? I have 5 minutes spare so could waste his time like he wasted my OH's.

Any suggestions?

Do you really think a man in an internet cafe in Lagos is going to give a st about you wasting his time when he spends his days creating email accounts, fake adverts and trying to steal personal details from people who can't spot obvious scams?

Probably not, but it would make me feel better Not sure I will fit in her size 6-8 wedding dress.... I'm probably closer to 60-80!

Look at http://www.419eater.com/ first for tips on how to do it properly.

• edit: I've just realised that my post might look like I'm giving advice on how a man should wear a dress properly
