hello inmates! been a while, hope everyone is doing well :) i'm here because i need some advice: something strange happened to my mom the other day. she's asked me for help, but i'm not quite sure what to say. here is what has happened: my mom was trying to sell a sofa on an austrian ebay-like website. the website is well known and has a good and serious reputation in austria. (you can have a look at it here: http://www.willhaben.at ) however, after a short amount of time, a woman responded: (in english...which is strange) [quote] My name is Kirstie Campbell I am interested in the buying of your above advertised Furniture for my daughter. Please kindly get back to me with the following details. 1)is it still available for sale? 3)How long have you owned it? 4)How much is your last price offer in euro? I will appreciate a quick response and if you can send me some recent picture for viewing purpose. waiting for your email with the last price you will offer me in euro and if it is still available for sale. Thank you. Kirstie Campbell[/quote] my mom didnt smell anything strange, so she gave her all the details mentioned above. here is the 2nd response she got: [quote]Hello, Thank you for the email, i am so happy that the furniture is still available for sale,i am sorry for the late reply, i have told my 22 years old daughter and she is so happy because she love furnitures and she have been looking for this type and make of furniture, she has already prepared a room and a bed where the furniture will stay when the furniture arrive our home in Italy, i am moving from U.K to Italy in 2 weeks when i return from Haiti. so we are waiting to receive the furniture when my shipping agent comes to pick it up and have it delivered after you get the payment check i will be sending to you. please take off the advert from the internet because i am making payment immediately ok.

My work is Risky but is service for humanity. in any case i will be coming back to Europe soon.. i will instruct my Boss In Europe who owe me to Issue you a cash cheque from a big U.K bank for the payment, My boss will add extra money to the payment for the shipping of the furniture and the shipping of other goods i bought for my daughter in Germany.. the shipping will be done by a professional because i don't want anything to happen to the furniture during the shipping ok, the shipper will come to your house address to pick up the furniture.. When you get the cash cheque, deduct your payment, also deduct extra 80 euro after deducting your payment so that you can use this extra 80 euro for express cashing and exchange rate at your bank The rest money will be use for the shipping ok. i will give you all the details regarding the shipping after you get the money. i need you to please send me the below information and you will get the payment in 5 days. kindly email me the following details for the payment: name............. adnituredress.......... post code......... city.............. country............

Rita Milla Via de' Tornabuoni, 19 50100 Florence - Italy[/quote] i think this is a little weird, isnt it?....kirstie is suddenly called rita? and why is she sharing all this information? and why does a women located in haiti, who is actually from the UK, now moving to italy with a daughter located in germany (maybe her daughter found the sofa because she speaks german?), look for sofas on austrian websites?!? is this spam? if yes, what or where is the trap? this is confusing, i just don't get the point? me a n00b? :( anyone have an idea? much appreciated!
