I am selling an item and got this, it looks like a scam to me.
Hello,
Thanks for the mail,I am Ok with the item and i will like to inform you that iam goona send you the payment in cash although i wanted to come for the inspection before but i can not make it anymore just because we are not in the same state.....
I will like you to send your contact address and name to me so i can make the payment via BidPay home delivery this service will come to your home and deliver the cash to you.
I will include 50$ for the shipping fee via USPS/EMS to my friend destination so i want you to get to me with your address now so i can make the payment today
Regards
Rossy

Just give all your money to the nearest charity NOW. It's either they get it or someone else does.

i'd be disappointed if my 11 year old asked me if that was a scam... yikes. i agree with the charity suggestion.
