Knowing money order is guarenteed, I agreed to money order and gave him my address. When he told me the address he wanted me to send it to it was to Nigeria. My brother told me this was a scam and not to do it. Should I be concerned about giving out this information?? Purchased this name gogo tent from the guy on a Craigslist in Seattle WA. When I met him I handled him a bucks and he gave me the tent. I didnt ask his name but he has a green jeep and himself is about 6 ft tall. He said that the tent was in good condition.
