As some of you may know I have my Stowa Prodiver in the PH Classifieds. Now I had an email this morning off a guy showing some interest,so I email him back giving him my mobile no its always nice to chat before a sale if you can. So this afternoon I get another email from Robert Hollender rhtland@gmail.com saying he wants to pay by email then post the watch to his cousin who lives in West Africa its a birthday present. I just emailed him to ask where he lived so as I could post the watch. He emailed back to say he is in Ireland and could I send my email address for paypal so he can pay. YEA Right. Me thinks banana off boat last all spring to mind. Tell me guys what should I do

scammer. Unfortunate but glad you've already clocked him. I really like the watch you're selling I thought it would get snapped up.

email him back, and say that before you send the watch you would like to get postage insurance, so if he sends you a postal order for £10, then he can deduct that off the price when paying, but the watch will be insured smile

Scam.

Very annoying to say the least.
