A gentleman from Nigeria wants to buy my Ps4 Slim?

A customer from Nigeria wants to buy my Ps4 Slim with 500 GB. The shipping price is 61.99 euro. I'm just wondering how I can trust the person who pays by bank transfer but he uses Google Translate. Don't know about transfers? Achso, the dubious is that I put them (Ps4) in for 195 euro and the person wants to pay 290 euro including shipping. What should I do?

You should refrain from this "deal".

Maybe he was drunk and accidentally bid too much

The scam is ancient. See e.g. Here:

Excerpt from ebay forum:

Attention! Nigeria Connection back on Ebay!

since 05.09.2012 buyers of the Nigeria Connection are on the way on Ebay Germany!

They are mostly looking for instant auctions with large amounts on phone, TV, etc.

Often rating 0 and day of registration is often the day they buy the goods from you!

Buyer addresses are often in England - London!

In various German-English emails, we ask for paypal or bank details for the payment and then emails from a pseudo HSBC bank come with a request to send the goods, send the tracking number to the avoidable bank email so that the alleged bank then transfers the money.

It happened to me on Tuesday, September 5th, 2012!

Buyer name of Nigeria… Shinecole13766532!

Attention!

Not do!

Write to the gentleman politely but firmly that you will not send the console to nigeria. I wouldn't give a reason.

PS: if you "only" lose the console and money, you are still well served, because according to the international financial statutes, the gentleman from nigeria can have the amount credited back up to 6 weeks after the transfer.

also very popular: he makes a typing error, transfers 2,900 instead of 290 euro, then asks you to pay the overpaid 2,310 back to him via western… As soon as you have done that, he then remembers that he made the transfer from can withdraw from…
