People still get done bigtime, Best one i heard about was someone had invested in a scheme or pyramid- which ever you prefer, anyway he worked very hard doing his part and when he went to collect was told the company no longer existed as the CEO had gone down with the twin towers, priceless.
thanks for trhe heads Up bro
Scam him back! Like this champ http://www.newssocket.com/features/article/231/page/1/![]()
Religion is not the opium of people. Opium is
Just before Christmas I had my old Fire Appliance on trade me.
it had sat for months with only dumb enquiries from time wasters, then I got a phone call from England.
Dude was friendly and chatty - spent 1/2 hour talking to me on my cellphone about the waether , the fire engine, the economy, english bull terriers, wives who dont understand truck collecters and then said that he'd pay NZ$19 grand for it- whats my account details?
I was SHITTING MYSELF!!!
I told him that internet money scams are rife here and that I wanted to do a bit of resaerch on him first. So he gives me all his personal details and the name and address of a good mate of his in New Zealand Ian Riddhttp://www.hwrichardson.co.nz/truck_museum.html ... well that is just too good to be true????? this whole thing is a symphony of slick lies!!!
But the number he gave me was the same as on the website so I rang it and spoke to the man. - he just laughed and told me that his mate in England Buys trucks here every summer and ships em back to the UK where they are worth a fortune. He says he will have people lining up for this truck!
So he rang back the next day- we did a deal where he pays overnight via bank transfer and I keep the truck till end of Feb till he can get here and jobs done!!
I just love lookin at my Bank statement lately
scams like this one rock ! ha ha ha![]()

I'm livin' the dream.
(corrected)
hmm interesting stuff. Just responded to an ad on another site for a cheap fatboy. guy said he had just left for england and the bike was in darwin already to be shipped to NZ.
Also said if i was still interested to email him back.
Smelling a rat i pointed out that i was not prepared to hand the cash over until i had sighted the bike here in NZ, and test rid it to make sure there were no obvious problems. suggested if he had friends or family still here, they could represent his interests while he is overseas. offered to leave my heritage and licence as security while i test rode the hog.
strangely enough, i have not heard anything back from him. when i first responded he replied within a few hours. It has been 3 days now since i sent the above message back to him and no reply.
Now he could get back to me soon and the deal could still go down but after reading this thread, i not so sure now..will give him a couple more days and if i have heard nothing, i will be asking the site concerned to email him or remove the ad,![]()
