Hello Seller,

purchasing your Item on behalf of my client. My client has specifically given me
a quote and placed an order for your particular Ad item,hence the need to get in
touch with you for negotiations.What is the final price of the item?I will like
to ask if you would accept a Certified cashiers checks from my client as a mode
of payment and due to the fact that the payment you are going to recieve will
include some excess fund on the check or money order which you going to be wire
to the shipping company that will come for the pickup of the item can we trust u
with the money?and the condition of the Item is the Item brand new one?will u be
available when the shipping company will be coming for the pickup?please forward
your postal contact details, your telephone numbers and the name which you want
the check to be addressed to . I am counting on your support in concluding this

this scam is getting old, you would think by now that anyone dealing online would know about it or at the very least suspect the over payment

HE GOT NOTHING FROM ME

[harescrambles]

yea i just got another one of thous e-mails, every time i put a bike or quad up for sale i get one.:grr: they just change the words around a little, but always the same "bull"

here's one i got the other day,





Thanks for the mail and response.

I will like to introduce my self to you, I am Engineer JOHN WILLIAMS, Am
okay with the price ($3,500) and condition, I am interested in purchasing
the (Bike). At this point i will like to inform you that a total additional
of money will be added to the cost price which is for the Shippment,
Taxes,Vat, Insurance and Service Charge which will be billed to my
Shipper/Lawyer that will be coming for the pick-up and also sign the
change of Ownership in your location, Pending on the weight and cost of the
(Bike). As a matter of fact i deal directly without involving the third
party, for security reason because of the high rate of internet transaction
which are no more safe.

Regarding payment i have a creditor, All i need to do to make payment easier
and faster is to instruct him to procure a certified cheque or money order
and mail it to the name and address you want on the cheque/money order and
you know it takes 24hrs for a cheque/money order to clear in u.s bank. But
if i may ask how will i trust you that the remaining balance will be send
back to my shipper?.

I will like you to send down the following information to me, so i will
forward it to my creditor for payment.

* YOUR FULL NAME ?

* DELIEVERY ADDRESS OF THE CHEQUE INCLUDING YOUR CONUTRY ?

* CONTACT TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR IMMEDIATELY CONTACT ?

Looking forward to hear from you very soon.

Regards
Mr. John Williams

You'd think they would at least make it sound like english:rolleyes: And who in america spells it cheque?

I also like the typical american name: John Williams....if that's not a trustworthy name/occupation then I dont know what is:p

Stupid scammers.
