Almost got conned by this guy... i lost some money in shipping charges
, but hey, i STOPPED the delivery just before it got delivered and re-directed it to a friend of mine in a different country
Luckily i thought of contacting WesternUnion to see why the order number did not appear in my account... was
to know that the order number DID NOT exist in their system!!!

Hello Mr. Gregory,
The cost of sending the parcel via DHL is
approximately $250.00 (please note this is not the
total amount and thus excludes the cost of the PDA)
kindly visit
http://www.dhl.com.au and follow the
instructions. I'll be parcelling it from Melbourne and
the weight of it is app 1.6 kgs.
Could you kindly provide me with the exact details of
where & whom to send the parcel to please. Also, wrt
the payment could you pls let me know what mode you
prefer, because if you choose to send it via Western
Union, I believe AusPost are agents for it and I guess
you can request for payment on parcel option.
Please let me know so that I can provide you with my
details for payment.
Thanks & Regards, harry.
