still available for sale and your last price for this item.The shipment will be
handled by my shipping agent and mode of payment will be through a certified

as of now no one has dibs on it yet, but it is now if you're interested.
Unfortunately I cannot accpet any sort of checks-mainly due to personal
reasons. However Money Orders(Western Union for example) or if you have
paypal, I will accept in those types of payments. im selling it for 75 plus
shipping, so i would need your zip code for a shipping estimate if mailed to
your house. Let me know. In regards to the condition, it is used but still
functions correctly. Let me know. Also PLEASE RESPOND TO ME AND FUTURE
E-MAILS TO ftcheou@gmail.com, because my current one is due to be closed soon,
so any e-mail sent here will come back to you as an error. Thanks.
Regards,
Freeman

and finally he replied back:

If you're being serious then yes, this is most definitely a scam. Don't send him any of your information and report him to the website that keeps a record of scammers (I forgot the site, hopefully someone will post it).



Blown.
