I got the same one and told him the final price is $3 million CASH. I wonder how many people get scammed by these jerks.

I got this one today and another one earlier - from a "Bryan Houston", bryandino00.
Then I got a check from UPS for $7800 for an item I priced at $4500. They wanted me to send them the difference by Western Union. Their next email was time stamped as "Central African" time.
