My friend, that is a huge scam. I've heard it done in many ways....................but I'm sure it's a scam. What they do is send you a fake check, you send a good one, and they insert applicable limb into you know where.

Ok, so reply to his email and tell him to send the Money Order. Once you get it, go to the junk yard and ask them for a free bumper. Then solicit donations from here (I'm in for $20) for shipping and send it in such a way that he's got to pay cash (COD) to UPS for Customs and Shipping before he can open it.

Who else is in for covering some expenses on this?

 

LMAO!! Yeah, that's it! I remember know, that was from somethingawful. You can also jack up the scammers cost of import taxes by declaring a high cost of the packaged item.

 

I'm interested in that silver front aero kit. Could you provide me with details, pricing, and most importantly, PICS?

Thanks.

 

Is this the same scam? My Miata is on autotrader.


Hello,
Thanks for your mail on the need to proceed with this transaction.
I am okay with your price but presently resided in the U.K. attending a car exhibition show.
This will make it impossible for me to come and see the car myself but would want to count on you for sincerity.
It will be convenient for me to send you check which will also cover the cost of my shipper who will be coming for the pick up of car.
I would need you to send me your full details to enable me send you the check asap.
The details should be in this format please;
*
YOUR FULL NAMES
MOST PHYSICAL MAILING ADDRESS/CONTACT ADDRESS
MOST DIRECT PHONE NUMBER
COUNTRY/ZIP CODE
*
I hope this is okay with you on the need to proceed swiftly.
Thanks for your effort.

Yes, the potential 'buyer' is trying to get his foot in the door. It will go down hill from here, I'd drop this scab.

 

The funny thing about many of these is how clear it is that English is not their native language. You would think they would get an English-speaking proofreader. Many of them originate in Russia or Nigeria. Although after reading the grammar on some of the posts on this forum I guess they could be American.

 

Regarding the craigs list person, send that jerkhole two packages:

The first package: A box of fine cream-covered pastries from a 'secret admirer'

The second package, to arrive a day or so later: A video tape showing a bum jerking off all over those pastries for 10 bux.

 

Yes,, this is an old scam.. I am a police officer here in Las Vegas and I investigate internet crimes.. even if you get the money in your bank via his check, it will still be a bad check. The banks often "front" their customers the money even though the bank has not contacted the bank at the other end. Most banks can take several weeks to contact the other bank and if it is out of the country it may take longer. DO NOT ACCEPT A CHECK OR CASHIERS CHECK.
I use credit cards or paypal to buy items over the internet and only accept the same as payment, although cash is cool too...

 

Exactly how do you keep dog doodie "steamy" for overseas shipping? Is that what "Brown can do for you"???
