It was an electronic drum kit for about 1/10 the RRP. China. Live and learn! I am always worried about the information I have to pass on to the person who purchases a vehicle from me. <http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/rdonlyres/0CF28F1C-723F-40B3-BD3E- D1F7BD33D0E5/0/VehRegTransferForm18012010.pdf> :-P

I advertise a bike for sale (Yes, I am legit and yes the bike is real LOL). It is NOT listed on ebay. 2. Scammer contacts to buy via paypal, seeking my paypal address. 3. Some sob story about being OS etc etc 4. Provide "buyer" with fake email (eg douchebag(a)mypal.con) ) 5. Receive fake Paypal confirmation of payment received plus $750 plus extra costs on top of the bike price. 6. More sob story about can I forward the difference via Western Union Money Transfer to some address/person in UK (the "shipping agent"). Next step..I need to send them a MTCN# for Western Union to confirm I "paid" (...yeah right) the shipping agent. Time to open a beer and dip a line in the water.

Because just discussing a financial transaction with email scammers (even for a laugh) might be a breach of the Act. Nev.. '08 DL1000K8 |
