here is a scam on ebay going around. this is the second time ive had someone try this on me. almost identical too!!! althou last time i gave them my bank account details and they wanted me to put money in there account. for the shipping. could not call them cause they were busy and they did know anything about bedfords lol. let alone own one. dont know what yad do with a bedford fibreglass bonnet if you didnt have a bedford. sure wouldnt fit on any other vehicle lol.. they offer you more to end the auction.
after a few back and forwads they send you an email from commonwealth bank saying the money is being held in a trust until you send the goods. and that the sender has to pay for the shipping and the sender will be reimbursed after the goods have been sent. i rang commonwealth. they said fraud. dont have a bar of it.
so i changed my bank details.
this time im gunna try to scam them. somehow. dont know how yet.

Hello,
Thanks so much for getting back to me and for concluding about selling this item to my daughter,i really appreciate it,i am going to transfer the money into your account right now but before i do that,i will like to add the sum of $750 to the amount i promise to offer you and i will like to know if you would help me to transfer it to my shipping agent via western union money transfer to united kingdom.I would ve love to do this myself but currently i am very busy on ocean because i am a sailor and there is no where on the sea i could send the money and the only payment method the shipping agent accepted is western union.I would be very happy if you would help me and i want you to get back to me with your reply so i can transfer everything together and get back to you and as soon as everything has been settled the shipping company will come pick up the item.Thank You and expecting to hear from you soon.
Brady
