CF Bedford Chat / Re: Scam on ebay
« on: January 23, 2011, 03:19:43 AM »
This scam is not only still going, but it's getting more heinous. I'm trying to sell my motorcycle for the advertised price of $6,000.00 and he/she/it/they offered me $6,500.00 and said they would pay for shipping charges. His/Her/Its'/Their response to my email:
"Thanks for the response,i will take it for $6,500 including PayPal surcharges since i am interested in the immediate purchase for my Dad who just moved to Malaysia, where this is needed and i will be making use of a shipping company to have this picked up from you and have it delivered to him. Further arrangements will be made with you in regards to the pick up once i have paid you.
I would appreciate if you email me with more pictures (if available) too since i won't be be able to see this in person,what's the PayPal email to send funds to in order for me to pay you ASAP."
My response:
I'm actually involved with the ACCC my friend and not only has your address but your specific story (word for word) has also been submitted as being a scam. I guess you can only go so far running things like this until you get caught. Enjoy the court case, Scumbag.
Please read and pass this on before selling anything of great value online - I was one of the lucky ones that picked up on this before it went too far.
Cheers,
Michael
