He claims he is selling a pair of B&W Nautilus 802 for $1800, open box, 50 hours use and he pays shipping, insurance and handling (interesting price for an almost brand new pair of speakers supposedly worth much more and shipped from England to the States). I got his e-mail address, name, address, phone number and he claims he is in England (not Toronto) . He said he would set up the shipment with DHL and have them inspect the speakers, verify to me that they were shipped and then I would send him the money. His writing had enough errors that I knew he was not a native English speaking person.

All of this sounded way too fishy for me and I decided to keep my current speakers and told him I was no longer interested (). Also interesting that the guy who posted this thread never came back???
This is the model used for all ebay/net scams.

1. Price too low for belief.
2. Seller's inability to communicate in English.
3. Little or no background.
4. Seller NOT in the same country as goods.
5. 3rd party "inspection" of goods prior to payment.

This entire thing is a scam, simple as that.
