Not phishing - he's not asking for your credit card details - its just a
straight forward Scam!
It would be interesting to take him up on his offer and get him to send a
photo. Or even better ask him for his address and say that you'll ask
someone in the UK to go and see him to check the goods.
For the benefit of list members, all UK phone numbers starting with a 7
after the +44 are mobile phone numbers, and if they are "pay as you go",
they are virtually untraceable.
