Scammer on the loose

<< < (5/6) > >>

Ja1983:
I`ve had so many, and take great pride in sending snotty mails back!

one was a bloke working on behalf of a very exclusive client, who was very interested in my fourtrack. claimed he couldnt reveal his identity as his celebrity status.

...why does a celeb want to pay more than the asking pricefor an old daihatsu??!!

seriously, would you trust someone whose basic grasp of the english language and typing skills are on a par with a 2 year old chimpanzee, with your bank details!?!?

..thought not!

if anyone is in doubt, post em up on here and we`ll vet them for ya!

so easy to trust someone if they sound genuine, but remember

this is known to be linked to money laundering etc, the people you could be dealing with may be gansters and pop a cap in yo ass! (please dont give em your address!)  :lol:

bobmaf:
if you decide to con him and go along with the scam and you recieve a cheque DO NOT TRY and cash it  i did last year and had the fraud squad asking me loads of questions    
JUST BE CAREFUL

Hi Jon

I, unfortunately, have no family any more. I've had several offers for the jeep now so need to know what you are willing to offer. I would iamgine that its going to be extrememly expensive to export the jeep to Canada, what shipping company do you use? What are you intending on using the jeep for, it is no good for road use, but very good off road!

I would prefer cash but will accept cheque. Let me know your offer.

Best regards

Mark

Lets see how long i can keep them going. Anysuggestions for an address i can give? I was thinking scotland yard or something.

Hovis:
Robinson is back but he only offered £2000  :(

I repiled

Hi Robinson

Ok, is that your best offer? I have been offered more, (not a lot more but more all the same) please remember it has lift shackles, tin-foil springs with new polyprostimate bushes, full cavity service and a brand new Bosch Foo-Foo valve. These things, as you probably know, are worth that alone. You need to be in the region of £2,350.

You must let me know very quickly as someone wants to pick it up on the 30th of this month and i need the space pretty quick. He says he will send the cheque as soon as i tell him to. I can send you some more pictures if you want to check it has the stuff i say it has. But, I am a man of my word and you can trust me.

Best regards

Mark
