OK so i put my older Toshiba satellite on craigslist for 200 dollars and i got a text the next morning about it because i said in the article that it would be better to text me. So he texted me saying "hi this is "pastor Justin" how are you doing? I am interested in purchasing your laptop posted on craigslist get back to me with the condition and a firm price" i didn't think twice about it and i talked to him about it and he said that it was for his son in Africa and how the son had been disturbing him about it for a while and he would pay me the 200 i was asking for the computer
So i sent him my name address etc. And he said alright whats your paypal account email and i told him i didnt have one so he was gonna send a money order and so he said i would get a money order conformation email and i did but it was very quick. "pastor Justin" wanted me to send it that day and my money order would be on its way the same day and so i went to the post office and got it packaged up and it was being sent thankfully i talked to a wise man that said not to do it because alot of scams come out of Nigeria and so i goggled merchant express money order scams and first 3 links were almost the identical story to mine so i called the guy and told him im not doing this and he said im not going to scam you i promise and i then told him to lose my number before i called the cops and then canceled the shipment and he stopped contacting me about the whole ordeal i thank anyone who posted a story similar to mine you saved me big time
