Lol... I remember when one of a similar sort asked me whether I could pay for her order of cosmetics as she did not have a cc that's usable on the internet (that was quite feasible tbh, but I'm still very suspicious when it comes to money). Oh, and I had to receive the order (as she's often at work) and it was a few weeks before christmas
As a good wishing man I instantly agreed to do that, but after analyzing a little I waited for christmass to pass (it arrived just a day before it) and gave her that delivery.
She may've been genuine, maybe I'm just a cheap bastart (it was like 100bucks), but it came out like a thin veiled attempt to get something for free, at least in my mind..
