So I posted my iPod for sale in the Facebook Marketplace. When the posting was close to expiring 3 weeks later, it asked if I wanted to repost it. Not 2 hours later, I get this message from some new user with one friend. :screwy:

"Nancy Matty January 7 at 9:15am Report
i am interested in buying this item for my relative who is currently in Africa,i want to get her this item as gift on her birthday,so if you can mail to explain the actual condition presently i am willing to know the actual price with the shipping and handling , and get back to me with your paypal e-mail ID so that i can transfer your money to your paypal account as soon as possible.

thanks and hope to hear from you soon."

I never even posted anything saying I had a paypal account either. :thinking:

Scams, yes. I wasn't aware about getting messages about items for sale. Like I said, the first one went 3 weeks to a month with nothing.

iPod Touch, I have no idea where "iTouch" became so popular but I hear it all the time and there is no such thing as an iTouch.
