Scam AHOY!!!!!!!!!!

[MotardMan]

I am being scammed. My car is in the Autotrader and I have now received two approaches via email asking me to accept a cheque for the car, with extra money on top to pay for shipping. Sound familiar?

It did to me, so I went on here and signed up to try to waste the scammers time:

Could be really good fun, and I hope to waste as much of their time and money as possible....

For your info:

1) It IS a scam - without a doubt.

2) English is not the writers native tongue.

3) It is almost certainly NIGERIAN in its origin.

4) You would DEFINATELY loose both your car AND the 'money' you were paid. The cheque would APPEAR to clear - but the issuing Bank would claim it back, due to 'No available funds' upto 28 days later.

About 24 Poles or 64 Albanians? Problem - they have squatters rights.!!

 

[MotardMan]

I called him from work and told I knew where his children went to school........

About 24 Poles or 64 Albanians? Problem - they have squatters rights.!!

You can get more by making sure that they are all on shift work,, 12-.8am, 3-4pm and 4 till 12am.

that makes 72 poles and 192 Albanians

Hey guys, don't knock it. It has full electricity, door bell, outside light and an upstairs - so something of a luxury Polish/Albanian Hostel.
The downside is that you can only stand up if you're in the middle and the doorway is only 5' high - but then most of them are quite short anyway.

Now I've posted a pic, the offers should come flooding in

LOL @ Mr Berks.

Sadly the scammers don't like being asked fro their bank details, and there has been no more conversation between myself and them.

Ah well.

Cheque? Why not a Bankers Draft.? LOL - I wonder WHY??? And to think that some people actually fall for this - AND those very same people can sit on a Jury - formate with you at 70mph on a motorway - and, worse of all, can VOTE. Ye Gods
