I guess he's banking on me not going down there to get my iPhone back when the PayPal funds don't arrive!

I've used Paypal gift (avoids fees) but only with buyers/sellers on sites I know like talkbass.com, etc.

I didn't know you were so into fishing!

I used to work in Nigeria and always hoped I'd get one of these or the 419 scam on my e-mail. I was going to set up a personal meeting and carry some of the local police with me. Spring the trap on the poor guy and sit back and watch the fireworks. All these things are illegal over there and the police are poison on them. I've seen them beat people so bad I doubt if they survived. No Miranda rights over there!

Items to look for if it's a scam., I'm going to cut them out of your email from him.

(anytime you see away on trip or my agent will contact you) SCAM
2. Provide me with any of this payment information above,Full name and address
(why would he need your information? he's paying you)
3. feel free to call me at +44704571XXXX

4. Paul Moore

Uwani Enugu,

99% of fraud is committed by internet cafes in Nigeria, they go to work just like you and I do, but their job is to take our money.

Craigslist is their office!!
Good luck!!
