That's kinda weird . . . he only accepts BidPay or Western Union money orders or MoneyGram.

I sell things on eBay sometimes and I specifically say in my listings that I won't accept payment with those because of the high risk of fraud. People will 'spoof' a confirmation from BidPay to get you to release an item or send an altered money order (purchased for $1 and edited to say $100 or $1000) that will clear at the bank but then eventually be returned.

I don't know how a seller could use it fraudulently - but that's really weird just the same! 😳

I agree... sounds like a Nigerian scam.

Except in reverse . . . 😁

I posted this a while ago in a different forum, but no one seemed interested. Maybe people here in the T-Mobile forum will like it better:

It's about the different types of Nigerian schemes currently in circulation. There are links in it to other articles about specific scams. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is planning on buying or ESPECIALLY selling cell phones on eBay. I do sometimes, and I've dealt with most of these scams.
