Re : The mobile phone I have on ebay

I had this e-mail today (3 times) :

Goodday,
i am interested in the immediate puchase of this unit and will
be making payment right away,i shall also be ready to pay additional
£100:00(pounds)+the buy it now price through BidPay.i will like to ask if you
would be able to ship the item as soon as the payment is confirmed and
approved by BidPay,this is due to the fact is high demand in my store so i
will like to complete this transaction in a timely manner.If you can do
this get back to me with your full name and contact address so that i
can proceed with the payment right away ,let me quikly say that i will
like you to ship the item via RoyalMail to my store in Africa. i will
be expecting your reply ....
Regards...

This just strikes me as INCREDIBLY dodgy ... and I know that BidPay is the new name for Western Union Money Transfer, which I know has recently been subject to muchos amounts of fraud and payments being cancelled etc! So, I said no ...

ebay, technology
