Now, besides the Nigeria thing, he's trying to pay through bidbay, and all the scams I've seen go through an escrow service. And since bidpay isn't a escrow service... what's he trying to pull?
 
I got an IM yesterday, suspected it was a Nigerian scammer right off because of the engrish they used, my first response:

"So what part of Nigeria are you from?"

Funny thing was I got no response back, who would have thought?

No just give him a fake address, like the address for the Jerry Springer Show or something
