Dodgy Scammers!

[thejester650]

I have currently posted on carsales my mates VY Calais as he can't work the internet. But now all i get in my email for him is a constant flood of scamming fucks with the same lines everytime. any one else have this trouble?? it all starts with a short email like 'is this car still available?' or 'is that the final price?'

Heres an example,

thanks for your response,i am okay with the final price....I am actually out of sea right now.presently am in Asia Country(Malaysia)and that's why i am making use of shipping company to have this picked up from you.Further arrangements will be made with you in regards to the pick up once i have paid you.

Do you mind if i add my shippers fee to your payment and when you get my payment,you can help me transfer their charges to them via western union since i do not have access to Western Union here at the moment.

What's the PayPal email to send funds too or i can as well pay you via a bank deposit ?would you mind emailing me more picture for it as i will not be able to see this in face?

I understand PayPal has a 2.9% PayPal charges will be including as well. so let me have your paypal email address or your full bank account details such as:

name:
bank name:
account number:
address:
city:
state;
country:
zip code:
phone number:

Thank You.

Here's the car if anyone is interested too......

I've had a few bikes on Bikesales over the past 6 months or so and have had a SHITLOAD of these scamming fucker emails.

I've noticed that the postcode of the originating enquiry was always from WA (I'm in QLD).

Scum.

Had my ute on countrycars and the same thing, in the end I was finding it hard to filter the real buyers from the scammers, I almost gave some guy a rev up at Orange but he was genuine.

Got a buddie here in Adelaide who has sold a few modified cars and track bikes of late, the same sorta thing has been happening to him.

We've been threw this shit at work with the site ihub. There always at sea or buying for the father for a birthday the scaming cunts.

[thejester650]

yeah has been quite hard to filter out the cockheads from the genuine article. but the dodgy ones are always 'at sea at the moment' and real nice people who are buying the car for they're 'dad' as a present. :D
It just gets frustrating every email like that gets a very polite fuck off and scam someone else.

my brother got an sms like that, and replied with "I'll fuck you with scissors cunt"

[nick76]

I think anyone thats genuine,actually has money to buy,has money to actually ring.
Emailing is a time waster type of move.
If im keen on something,i call,if its on ebay,and no number,i ask for one.
Who buys vehicles without actually speaking to the owner/seller??

Every time you reply to these scammers they get your email addy to pass on to more spammers

Always use a useless address like "redheadedcommiebitch at thelodge dot com" for that type of thing
