kijiji scam?

so i am selling my blackberry q5 on kijiji for 250
and a guy +1 647 793 2421 texted me and offered 400 for the phone and extra 200 for the shipping and handling that he asked for
He asked me to ship it to west africa to his "spouse"
address : 31ola str,ltire surulere state lagos postal code 23401 nigeria
he specifically wants it to be shipped via canada post air mail and he can only pay me using either paypal or etransfer
it seems a little sketchy so i searched for kijiji scams
hopefully i can get a response asap? thank you

Welcome to Scamwarners mirajane,

It is a scam. The scammer wants to steal your phone. He will send you a fake payment using a spoofed email address.

The scammer wanted to send you a fake Paypal payment. He has a fake Paypal address from a free email provider. The payment would look real. Its a screen shot of a fake payment. Depending on what you were selling he would either try to steal your money or property. If it was a vehicle or large item, he would pretend to make an overpayment. He then will instruct you to pay a mover, shipper or agent. The fake Paypal email from the scammer would say that your Paypal funds will be released when you send the scammer (mover,agent or shipper) money via Western Union or Money Gram. In reality Paypal would never hold your funds.

Log into Paypal directly without any links to check for monies received or call Paypal directly from the number on their site.

If you are selling electronics, Cell phones or computers then the scammer is trying to steal your "item". Your fake funds will be released when you send the scammer a scan copy of a receipt showing you mailed your item.

This same scam works with fake check and money orders. You and your bank will think they are real. After you cash the fake check. Days or weeks later your bank will inform you of the fraud. Your bank will have you repay the monies. Possibly close your account for fraud and report you to Law Enforcement.

The best thing to do is to sell in person face to face in a public place.
