Yes... it's a scam. This type of email has been going around for quite a while. Just ignore them.... or add that email to tons of **** lists.

 

ok thats what i thought... and great idea first though i'll play with them to think i'm still interested with the agreement say a few weeks or so... heh heh heh

Yes man that is totally a scam. Kill em!!!

 

Scamalicious!

Rod.

 

Yeah I have had similiar e-mails before, stating I won a U.K. lottery. What a crock of B.S. And I believe it is a scam also, stay away bro' And I definately would not give out your personal information. That is just one way for them to steal your identity.

 

if he sends you a check, take it cash it, then just keep the money.

 

That's the problem... They DO send a check... and it bounces.... then you get to pay a nice fee to the bank for a bounced check

 

Old scam, running it's course again! I read where one guy corresponded with him, got the check, put him off until the money order came back as fake and then emailed him a picture of the fake money order marked fake. If i ever got that scam, i would play with him and let him think he has a sucker on this end. Let him get his hopes up for a while, thinking you are biting and then dump the fake copy of the money order on him. Whatever you do, don't spend the money or send him ANYTHING! Have some fun, life is short.

 

This same thing happened to a friend of mine and when they took the check to the back to have it checked out to see if it was real it turned up fake. big scam.

 

yes, it is. when i was selling my '52 victoria, someone in some other country had an american "representative" issue me a cashiers check, it cleared for a couple days, then came back NSF, sadly i had already spent $600 if the money and had no way to pay it back, still owe it actually. but for fun i did it a few more times... only i DIDNT cash the checks!!!! so i have like $80,000 or so in bullshit checks written out to me, kinda fun to have.

try to get any info you can... like my guy said he needed me to send $2000 of the money to a "shipping agency" so i just gave the police that address, nothing ever happened with it though.

 

Yup, the money you pay to the shipper is where you get screwed. Cause that comes out of your money. After you deposit his check his check/money order you take the money our of YOUR account and send it to the shipping company. Check/money order comes up fake and now you're out the money you payed to the shipping company. And it's usually some obscene amount as well. People were getting busted for this a while back for depositing/cashing the fake money into real money and sending it off. I guess eventually it was learned that the people doing the cashing were the ones getting scammed and not the scammers. But people were getting arrested for cashing these checks/money orders and it wasn't even the person responsible for it

 

I got scamed the same way with some guy in South Africa.. poseing to be a rich man.. but the funny thing is he did buy my 1982 280zx turbo off ebay.. but he never paid ...

 

BURN THIS ****ER !!!

Get his addy so I can go there to kick his but .. he ****** up for me .. honest buyer who wants to spend the cash and get the parts..
Always if they ask money back … when you are selling .. pull the scamflag!! I pay in paypal or let a friend pick it up in cash.. and then I call him friend, not client

BURN THE ****!!!

Ok this pisses me off but you got that from this
:s-redeemer:

 

yeah have his email address and i'm going to sign it up afor alot of gay **** and animal **** and stuff like that...

 

Lure his representative over and rob him.
