Yes, that is natural. But I had a thorough clarification with him. When I told him that his and mine cities are very far, his response was: “I am in a hurry to buy so I will travel”. It is not as if I am selling Taj Mahal that he will not find it in his city. I then just closed the call saying that let can let me know once he books the ticket/ confirms his travel.
I think there is some misunderstanding. I did not try shipping. The probable scammer wanted to know my address which I did not divulge. So I am trying to understand what kind of scam can this person pull off with just phone number and address? Or maybe this is the first step in a series of steps.
