Hello everyone ! Just wanted to let you know to don't buy from this guy http://gujranwala.olx.com.pk/blackmagic ... -488306112 ! This is a new ad from this morning but I found the same ad the last week on http://www.2ememain.be/photo/num%C3%A9r ... on&start=0
First this ad said that he is in Bruxelles and when he answered to my email he said he was return at Berlin. I discuss with him to know how we can proceed for a safe transaction and he said that he talked with a transport compagnie that have a high security standards and a others bull... So, and I asked him what is this compagnie, and since this message I never got an answer. I though that maybe he sold it to someone else... But today I found the same ad and he seems to be at Gujranwala, Punjab, Pakistan.... Be careful guys, I almost make a big mistake and for me, no more buying from personnal seller, I saw to much of these. I will wait for my pre order.

I f'ing hate scammers. I tried selling a camera on craigslist... never again. Those guys come out of the woodwork when you try to do anything through craigslist. I did receive some entertaining e-mails though. I got some awesome e-mails that were supposed to be from paypal telling me about a new buyer protection plan and that I had received money but it would be held from my account until the buyer received the package.

Unfortunately it was in the worst broken english I have seen and I am pretty sure the guys at Paypal know how to put together a proper english sentence. (They also know how to earn interest on your money while it's being held for ever)

You would think these scammers would put a little more effort into making these e-mails look legit. Fortunately they do a terrible job. ;)
