I am sellling a guitar through Kijiji.ca for $1200. he sent me a text, he also wanted to send an extra $100, through paypal and a private courier. he gave the name stephen nelson, he types in broken english like someone in an eastern country would. he used the phone number 3018614560 and used the email gyth123456@gmail.com. he also said "musical instruments" which leads me to believe its an automated messaging system, because they never say the item name of what it actually is.he was also too busy at work and was "buying it for his daughter"

This same person has sent me two messages after I posted an ad on kijiji.ca. red flag when he wants to pay an extra 100 and only through paypal.

selling skis through kijiji.ca. he said sporting equipment and asked for the price. sent me an email later on. exact same MO.

He is a con man. He plays  in kijij  by sending text message and email to fraud you as a buyer. He will  send you a forged cheque.I have terrible experience with conmen network in kijij.
