If you have the slightest suspicion that it is a scam, walk away.

Thanks but how can i recognise those in the future

1. "I'm buying it for my friend...Ship it there"
2. Communication and payment outside of the built in auction house procedures
3. Overpayment, and "send me the extra back"
4. "My shipper will pick it up"
5. Anything that mentions Nigeria
6. If it smells wrong, it is wrong.
