Scammer

[nadroj]

Had a txt from +6498891894 - We are interested in your motorbike advertised on Trademe, e-mail us at thehappiecouple&gmail.com if it is still available for sale.

Thanks for responding,this is Basil & Nida Al-Qamar and we are interested in buying this from you now off TradeMe for our son who is overseas at the moment.

We will want to know if there is anything else to add to the description apart from what you have on the advert and also could you please give us your final price as we are looking for a decent bargain.

Regards

Ok,we just wanted to make sure nothing has been left out
We are happy to purchase for our son whom like we said is overseas right now at your asking price and do you have a PayPal account,as we will be paying with PayPal and have pick up done from your location as we are away from New Zealand (where we reside) at the moment for our 20th anniversary at the Great Barrier Reef,so email communication would do best for now as well. In the meantime,can you send us some more pictures apart from the ones you have on TradeMe since we won't be seeing it before buying it from you?
Regards

We are sorry but we can only get to pay you with PayPal . It is easy to get an account,just go to www.paypal.com , all they need from you is a valid bank account as we only have our bank account linked to our PayPal and we don't have online/internet banking at the moment and that's why we can only pay through PayPal.

PS : Not to worry the funds will go into your PayPal account first once we send funds and then you can have it transferred to your personal bank account or credit card (that's how PayPal works ) and we will include the PayPal charges/fee as well if there is any.

Better English than normal, son presumably under 20yo, reluctance to say where in NZ they are, Firstly son is out of country then they are on holiday in Gold coast.....

No one of that surname in NZ white pages!

You can't have a classified on Trademe without getting a couple of these. Just see how long you can string them on for with minimal effort on your part (one line replies)

Cool story.

Love how they dont have access to internet banking but would rather receive emails.

Sadly, when i sold my Aprillia, i never got any phising/scamming type emails at all, have to say I was a little disappointed TBH
