Re: Scam

Hi Ian,

Strangely it wasn't me who removed it. Not sure who might have the power to do that. As far as I know just me and the person posting it.

Henk.

Re: Scam

It was me. I changed it from personal to factual.
Because we only have 1hr with option to edit or delete.

Re: Scam

Exactly, its assuming a high level of ignorance on any potential buyer but it still appears people have parted with money, there's a theory that for some people,the higher the reward offered, the less capable their ability to assess the risk.
Also the seller saying they work in the gambling industry is a little clue, they often just can't help leaving little clues to their character.

Re: Scam

Multiple reassurances about how you are protected as a buyer are also common to these scams it seems...Trust me, Trust me, Trust me .. ... ... ...Ian

Re: Scam

It must be forged paperwork Ron..as you can't get a 'genuine' document from e bay.
If you can drive a computer, generating that sort of thing is pretty straight forward these days..and people still think if they've got an official looking bit of paper it must be genuine...
Most of the population still believe what the politicians tell them ..so scamming must be pretty easy work..I think Fred has got it right.. The more you think you are going to get a bargain the more you have a tendency to be less cautious and the faster you will move to secure it before someone else does..I suspect once someone accepts the initial 'sales pitch' they could be in trouble....Ian

No problem Dave. Just send me £3000 and I'll tell you the number of the high street shopping centre in Perth where you can collect it Ron

My Scammer hasn't mailed me back
I do hope he's not ill, with no friends to call it would be awfull.

Re: Scam

When I went to look at the link for the advert access to the site was blocked by my anti virus software which was telling me the site was on a list of sites that may have 'dangerous content'...I'm not quite sure what that means....can anyone enlighten me?...Ian
