As Elmer Fudd used to say, " Be vewy vewy careful." Sounds like someone in China is trying to partner up with you to sell fake coins or something similar.

Report that for sure ... I believe that would result in an indefinite suspension for martyspace.

The email definitely needs to be reported to ebay. He probably sent the same email to a bunch of people. If you respond to it and don't hide your email address, he will also have that. I don't know if it was phishing for your email address or trying to get you to buy from him. Either way, he needs to be reported. |

To me it looks like a guy from China who is looking for people with accounts in the States and willing to sell fakes for a commission.
As I believe it is getting more and more difficult to sell coins with an account in China, they are trying new stategies.
Hope they wont find too much people willing to do such business!

Do not reply and report directly to ebay! It looks like someone had the same idea for a user name, I may need to change mine. |
