Is this a safe deal???

I put my subs on craigslist and this guy emailed me today. I guess he wants me to ship it to Nigeria. I know it sounds like a scam but wouldnt it be safe if he paid first, using paypal? heres a copy of the email.

"hello i saw your item on craisglist.com and i will like to order for it and buying it to my younger brother in Nigeria for his birthday celebration, so i will like to know how much you re selling it to me with the shippment fare to Nigeria.forget not to send me some pics of this item also. Philips"

also if he was legit how much would that cost to send to nigeria?

I dont think people that live in Nigeria have computers....

Or cars for that matter.

Yes, peopel in nigeria have computers, and yes that is a scam. Lead him along for a while or something, just to entertain yourself.

He can still scam you... He can claim 2 months later he never received anything, or send money from an unverified account.

A money order would be safer, since you have the cash in your hands, and no one can take it away.

They want all of your personal information. No matter what you email him back, he'll just respond asking for your full info.

scam dont even bother, even if he paid with a money order it would either be fake or legit from an unknowing person that is being scammed by the same person.
