I've been coaching this friend of mine through her first digital camera purchase. Get this conversation (paraphrased):

SUMMARY:
Girl buys camera from some woman in Romania, sent Western Union. I should smack her upside the head. What a dumb arse.

Kenazo says:

Camera's Coming says:
yup
Kenazo says:

Camera's Coming says:
its being shipped out tomorrow
Camera's Coming says:
Minolta Dimage Z1
Kenazo says:
nice
Camera's Coming says:
for 150 bucks brand new
Kenazo says:
where did u get it from?
Camera's Coming says:
hopefully it gets here okay because i bought it direct from just a person
Camera's Coming says:
not a store
Camera's Coming says:
we emailed eachother back and forth
Kenazo says:
off ebay?
Camera's Coming says:
yup
Kenazo says:
what was their rating?
Camera's Coming says:
she said i could send her 65 bucks and then when i get the camera send the rest
Camera's Coming says:
pretty good
Camera's Coming says:
75%
Kenazo says:
can u give me a link to the auction?
Camera's Coming says:
no cause i went back on there and she said her friend played around on it so its different now and its not listed anymore
Camera's Coming says:
anyways, she is from romania
Kenazo says:
are you serious?
Camera's Coming says:
yup
Kenazo says:
DANGER!!
Kenazo says:
FREAKING DO NOT SEND HER ANY MONEY
Camera's Coming says:
why?
Camera's Coming says:
i did already
Kenazo says:
oh dear
Camera's Coming says:
just 65 bucks
Kenazo says:
well, best of luck
Camera's Coming says:
why is it danger
Kenazo says:
oldest sounding scam in the book
Camera's Coming says:
thats why i said i would only send her part of the money and then the rest when it got here
Kenazo says:
how did u send it?
Camera's Coming says:
western union
Kenazo says:
did u actually win an auction?
Kenazo says:
or did she offer to sell to you outside of the auction?
Camera's Coming says:
no she said that if i wanted to buy it now then i was suppose to email her and i did
Camera's Coming says:
if not then i just lost 65 bucks instead of lots
Camera's Coming says:
but we'll see
Camera's Coming says:
i'll pray about it
Camera's Coming says:
thanx anyways
Camera's Coming says:
bye

The site is already gone, lol.
 
Give me her information. I'll sell her my camera for $500. She just has to send me $300 and she can pay me $200 after she gets the camera.
 
Hahaha. What's her e-mail address? I know a couple of guys in Nigeria who are eager to speak with her.




BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

i think this woman deserves to get burnt though, otherwise I might. 🙂 She's pretty dumb. Two weeks ago she came up to me and said something along the lines of: "Have you heard of eBay? IT's awesome, they have the Canon s400 for $0.99." Turns out the auction was ending in 6 days. I felt like smacking her.
 
Hell, I'll sell her mine for $350 any way she wants. Cash, Money Order, Check, Paypal, COD. I dont want to steal from her, I just wanta new camera 😀
 
"only $65"... I guess that's not a lot to her... and I guess that's enough for the person overseas...
