I've was going to buy a projector online. I've been emailing with this person for a few days and it felt legit at first but I've grown suspicious. This is the email I got from the transport company which seems also legit. I just googled some phrases from this message and I found some scam related info. The seller gave me this address for the transport company: http://www.Omega-Transports.de.be
The seller also sent me a picture of their ID-card, supposedly.
I all personal information from this message and also the tracking number. But here is the message that got me suspicious:
