This one is screaming fraud. You write, they respond in a few days how they are in Cananda but have a broker/Ebay 3rd party handling it, and send a money order. YOu lose your monry.
Run, CL has no security, they accept any email addy, so they can't go after the scammers, since they can't find them
Could it hurt him to email? If it comes back that way then drop it?
