Thats the Alienware laptop. The winner wasn't Canny Faith which is why I am really thinking this is a phishing scam. I was just wondering what I should do with this?

I contacted ebay and just sent them this message. Anyway the internet isn't safe anymore which sux.

Did you copy and paste this into here? If so, I can say with 100% certainty it IS a scam. Note bold type above. That wouldn't be in any official letters from ebay. They not only have spellcheck, but they have professionals that write the letters and do not have typos and poor grammar.

Scam, definitely. Spelling mistakes from ebay, i don't think so.

 

[Norcent]

yeah I copied and pasted but it wasn't bold. Yeah I thought I would see the payment in Paypal before I sent the laptop out.

 

[Peter.Cort]

That is a message from Canny Faith who is in the message above. I know its a scam and all but still. I know that paypal would have that info about that person paying me which it doesn't so I won't send it. I am not that stupid.

I swear somebody should get the cops or something to that address.
