This does sound like a scam to me.
I believe I have heard about this before..on Dateline. It s a scam. I wouldn t get involved with it if I were you.
this is a scam run run run away.
Definitely run away from this!! It s downright scary how this scam has affected people, there have been TV shows about it.Think about it, who s going to mail you money upfront to do their shopping when they have no idea who you are or if there is any security clearance? Any shopping for electronics can be done online by this person and shipped wherever. It s a scam that could get you into quite a bit of trouble and leave you broke.
