Possible Scams?

The first is a scammer because of the way it's written, definitely.
The second is more convincing, but "My name is Jenny williams, I reside in USA.Regards.Ogunx Tokunbo" is just comical, therefore a scammer.

I'd avoid both completely.

 

well, I dunno...many people have terrible writing skills q.v. Dr. Chiz or Mr. Clock. But here's what I'd do:

1) no way I'd give out my address or phone number. Absolutely no effin' way.
2) no way I'd take a personal check. A cashier's check or money order would be acceptable.

I'd rig it like a eBay transaction. Just tell them that if they want the thing, they send you either a cashier's check or money order, with a shipping address included. Once payment has been received, you will ship the item. If you get any response other than "yes, that's fine" you'll know for sure.

 

Screw with them a little, give them the address of your local FBI office

Ask for money, not a cheque. If they say no, avoid them but if they do accept it, make sure that is is cashable, cash it then ship it.
Give them your business address aswell so that they dont know where you live.

 

That's Nigerian for "Give me your bank account number."

 

Avoid both. Damn Scammers... ruin everything.

 

Damn straight, give me your account vitals ... and I'll buy my own computer with a check drawn on your account.

 

Hopefully you have had other offers besides these two scammers'?

 

The dead giveaway, as far as I am concerned, is that neither actually refer to what you have for sale, they just use very generic terms like "your item". Form letter.

 

they are obviously both scammers...

i would reply and ask "Which items are you referring to? I have a few for sale." and see if they even know what it is that you are selling.
