I received this message through ebay,

"Hi there is the car still available if so can we negotiate on the price? You can whatsapp me on +264816926969. Regards, Nambatha from Namibia"

Just wondering if this is a legit enquiry or the start of an elaborate scam/premium rate number etc

My reply,

The car is still for sale , I'd be willing to negotiate on price once you've seen the car.
And Iv no idea what whatsapp is !

You can call me/text me on 0########## or ebay messaging service

Regards Dan Gateshead/UK


I'm bored at work so indulge me

One way ticket to scam city.

The guys in a different continent. How can they possibly buy and collect the car legitimately?

Whenever I see this thread title, all i think is 'most likely. Don't even need to read the thread.

This one however, definitely not a scam...

Just added the number, I'm bored at work, might as well.

OP, mind me asking what car it is or just price should be enough? Thanks
