I should probably make this it's own thread, but i don't think people are that gullible on here? Avoid business with
smashed_potato - a little scammy if you ask me.
I’m using my best imagination here and I’m thinking the offer went something like this,
PM Title: URGENT I am in love with your chips and must have them now!

Dear Esteemed Seller,
I am a wealthy business magnate and I have fallen madly in love with the Tiger Secondary $5’s you have listed for sale. Its beauty is unrivaled, and I simply must have them!!
Please note, I am currently on a secret millionaire mission in Antarctica, and due to the severe shortage of penguins trained in financial transactions, I am unable to pay the exact amount you are asking for.
Instead, I will send you a certified check for $5,000 (even though you’re only asking $1,700). Please, do not be alarmed by this generous offer—it is just a token of my immense wealth and desire for your chips. You can keep the extra money as a gift from me.
Please ship them immediately to my nephew in Nigeria. As soon as I receive the item, I will donate $10,000 to your favorite charity.
I await your prompt response and the shipment of these extraordinary chips. Time is of the essence—my heart cannot bear to be without them any longer!
Warmest regards,
Johnathan Riches
CEO of SuperLegit Enterprises Ltd.
Rich beyond belief, but with a heart of gold
P.S. If you encounter any problems with the shipping, just let me know. I'll have my team of unicorns sort it out.
