I got this msg regarding my PS2. Now, I know my PS2 isn't worth that much. It just seems really weird.

Definitely scam. I get those types of messages all the time any time I post something on Craig's List. Usually they try and scam you with fake money orders or steal information such as bank account numbers.

Anything with Nigeria, Western Union, Escrow, I'm out of the country excuse are most likely scams.

Lol @ Nigerian scams. Are these people even trying, you'd think by now they would've come up with something a bit more original. ******, just scam people with PayPal, it's not like they're protection policy works anyways.
