This person initially contacted me through Whatsapp and claimed that he was from USA and that he was selling the IO Hawks I was looking for online on offer for only £110, given that I made a payment via MoneyGram only. No matter how many times I asked him, he did not accept any other methods including PayPal or even bank transfer.

I am pretty sure this was a scam straightaway since these board retail around £260 minimum on Alibaba.

The IP address of his skype account was tracked in Lagos, Nigeria. I am aware of these 419 Nigerian scams so I thought this person may be linked with this scam type.

Cash wire transfer. Next to prepaid credit cards, the choice payment of scammers. DO NOT even consider buying this item. No real business accepts this form of payment, & a cash wire transfer is NEVER to be used for a business transaction, or where you do not know the receiver of the money personally. Excellent homework on your part. Nigeria? Now there's a surprise.

Do not worry brother, I have only kept in touch with him to reveal as much info from him as possible. The email they are currently using is:

salesg544@gmail.com

Also their MoneyGram info that they wanted me to pay into:
FULL NAME: Juan Loeber
CITY: Illinois
STATE:Chicago
ZIP: 60621
COUNTRY: United State

May even be using this phone number too: +15029965447 but I am not sure.

All the listed alibaba suppliers have the same phone number and different names selling the same products. But when you click on any of them they are broken links. It must be that this scammer(s) is using different supplier names so they cannot get caught easily.
