l33wgn Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 im sure no one on here would be stupid enough to fall for this but since advertising my car ive either had a scam artist emailing me or a death sailor who want to buy a car for his dad emailing me. heres the two emails. Message from [email protected], sent using "Email advertiser" form on trade-it siteAd url: http://www.trade-it.co.uk/cars-toyota-supra/region-w-uk-bristol-south-west-avon-bristol/1995MSUPRAmanualNA-12146953.html Hello there,pls i will like to know if the above listed item is still available for sale ??? Stay Blessed!!!! and.....( this one made me laugh ) Thanks for mailing back,i am an Oceania and i am buying this for Dad, i am at sea right now, I can only pay through paypal at the moment as i dont have access to my bank account online,but i have it attached to my paypal account, and this is why i insisted on using paypal to pay,all i will need is your paypal email address to make the payments,and if you dont have a paypal account yet,its pretty easy to set one up at http://www.paypal.co.uk,i wil be expecting your email.I have a pick up agent that will come for the pick up after payments.I will like to have communicate and discuss this via Phone but i am 95% Deaf and i do use hearing piece so that was why i have prefer to communicate more through Mail ...So kindly get back to asap...i need to see more photos also and i will like to know the last asking price. Stay Blessed. haha needless to say ive sent him my paypal addy and bank account details............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcAB10 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 this one has been doing the rounds, there is definately another thread on here about it.. paypal can work like a cheque, as in it takes a few days for the funds to clear, this is when they pick up the car, then it bounces in paypal and your pretty much fooked.

Paul Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Ask for a photo of him standing next to the rolled up magic carpet as evidence he's genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 best way to shut them up is tell them to get this 'pick up agent' to set up a paypal account and get the funds, then he will give you said cash when the car is picked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 If you suggest he pays via paypal, and you insist he waits a couple of weeks until it can be collected to allow funds to clear... I doubt he will reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodalmighty Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 What would happen if you spent / transferred to your bank account the pay pal money as soon as he deposited it. So there was no money to bounce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alan3579 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hows about we all come round for a beer when it is due for a pick up, we could also have a game of baseball before going clay pidgeon shooting officer !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Get the 'agent' to meet you in a police station car park, we could all stand there while he tries to explain why the money isn't in your bank account so I can get another arrest figure! It's been a slow couple of days at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
