Well, yeah, it might be a scam (I'm not sure).
And here is some source that found from the forum I frequently visit.
I recently received an email from a guy called Adrian Pana with the following link:
www.my-lego-collection.piczo.com
Out of curiosity, I emailed him on how he got me address and why should I trust him on the above sale items. To my suprise, he replied me:
" I contacted the agents from eBay, I entered the live chat! I can not send the item first. I have a good feedback too! This is my ebay user: lucianoz2004 . Please tell me in which user you are interested !
I will wait your email
Thank You !!!"
So, naturally I messaged the ebay user ID above to get more info and at the same time, I asked this Adrian fler to provide me with his address so I can do a COD.
Well... the fler din reply ( he was very responsive earlier).
Now, so all my friends here know, I am quite sure this is a scam, so beware!
Those LEGO sets in the pic look too tempting to be true!!!!
I am trying to find a way to see whether I could lodge a report to the italian authorities..
So, I'm here to ask you guys keep your eyes open especially those that have account in Ebay.
This guys is trying to help us maybe. So just beware if some approaches you.
This guys say that he sold all his set in order to pay for his son head operation. But his son sure looks healthy in the pic and such operation gonna needs a big sum of money, and not that little.
This is what he wrote in the About Me detail:

I bet he can sell them a few hours after listing them in Ebay as it was such a great deal.
I contacted another seller of lego at a great price.He advertised the lego from Nigeria "the capital of scams",but he didn't denied it,and even his phonenumber,IP address,and his business checked out.He called me later,from his shop's number and didn't even tried to push me into the deal.I don't know,might risk $200.What if it's real?
ReplyDeleteIs best not to deal with him like you said, Nigeria "the capital of scams". I do got some people from Nigeria trying to buy stuff from me last time with an interesting story of course.
