Dragonphotographic Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 The reason Ebay outlawed Western Union a number of years ago is this chap can walk into any WU office anywhere in the world, quote the transaction number and walk away with the cash. Two suggestions here. 1: forward a copy of all mails so far to spoof@ebay.co.uk 2: Do the same to AOL, they will have his real address and will close his account The Police, as in so many things are completely useless with these , despite what they would like you to think, Now if he was a motorist thinking about phoning someone on his mobile, he'd probably get life!

dantheman Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 These guys do this day in day out, there is a complex system of email accounts set up, they use a dummy mail server to make the mail address invoice@ebay.co.uk which looks genuine enough.

gallar Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 ....The Police, as in so many things are completely useless with these , despite what they would like you to think... I suspect the police's starting point would be along the lines of "Oho! Whats a-going on here, then! You seem to have agreed to purchase an item when you have no intention of doing so, thus attempting to commit fraud against some upright and law-abiding Nigerian businessman and most likely infringing his yuman rites to boot. Would you by any chance be any two or more of: white, middle aged, middle class, Christian, straight, male - that proves it! You're nicked, chummy....." Cynical, moi? Mind how you go.....

Malcs Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 lets start asking him questions that we know they won't know the answer to then, wind the bugger up a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 He's still emailing me all the time - I have sent him to the Western Union office a couple of times and he's getting a bit annoyed now Hello, Can you please send me the scaned paper or to check again the MTCN number because it was checked and is not correct. Please confirm again the sender name and address, amount, receiver name and MTCN number. I wait your e-mail as soon as possible. About the delivery it will take 3-4 days because the paramotor must be insured to be everything ok when it arrive. Regards, Dean Hello, Can you answer me at my previous e-mail please. I need a confirmation from you as soon as possible so I can give you the delivery details. Regards, Dean Hello, Please give me an answer.. What happened? Regards, Dean Hello, I wait it as soon as possible, but before you do that you can confirm again the MTCN number, the sender name and address and the receiver name. The item was shipped and you will recieve it on Wednesday, please confirm the details and scanned paper until Wednesday. Regards, Dean I told him I'd have to go to a friends house to scan the receipt as I don't have a scanner..... Hello, Are you serious? I`m not sure why you don`t answer me and why you don`t confirm the correct payment details. Please give me an answer as soon as possible. Regards, Dean Hello, Because you didn`t answered me I have called at the delivery company and the paramotor is on hold until you confirm the correct payment details. eBay have advised me that you are not serious and if you are serious the only way to show that is to confirm the correct payment details. Regards, Dean Then I apologised as I wrote the number down wrong, one digit looked like a 1 but it was a 7, the correct number is below, no wonder he had problems. The (MTCN) number is 9375224878. - please call your delivery company to ship it asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don`t see any attachement and the MTCN sent is not correct, too. I need the receipt scanned to be sure that the money are available.

Judging from the picture it must have been taken in Lancashire as being slightly further south there would be a teensy weensy greater chance of the subtropic vegetation in the picture growing there than Glasgow. Does appear to accept paypal though rather than the giveaway money transfers...? Tempted to email an enquiry as to whether the bimble rotor bushing is still sound.

Dragonphotographic Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Current Ebay rules state you have to say you accept Paypal, wether you do or not. Most legit sellers add about 20% to their postage charge to cover the outragious Paypal fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
