Got my first scammer trying it on with my ad on carsales.

Thanks for the prompt response.. I am ready to buying it now for birthday gift for brother in-law and i am at sea at the moment as i am a marine engineer and due to the nature of my work, phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email regarding it. I really want the car to be a surprise for brother in-law so i wont let him know anything about the car until it gets delivered to him, i am sure he will be more than happy with the car. I insisted on paypal because i don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have internet banking, but i can pay from my paypal account, as i have my bank a/c attached to it, i will need you to give me your paypal email address and the price so i can make the payments asap for the car and pls if you don't have paypal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to www.paypal.com.au and get it set up, after you have set it up i will only need the e-mail address you use for registration with paypal so as to put the money through. I have a pick up agent that will come and pick the car up after i have made the payments...

Thanks

Darryl

i know some ppl here have previous experience with wasting these guys time, i just tell them to fuck off.

Any ideas to mess this guy around?

So many options really.. You just end up trying to drag them on for as long as you can. I know there are some websites that can generate a copy of a receipt that paypal would give you for example, but it's usually used for when they ask for payment via western union or something.

My friend messes with these guys all the time so I will see if he has anything else to add

to start a new thread for this?
There was just one last week.

if i had a dollar for every person who got approached and emailed about their car online i would be rich!!

Employ Joe, he is the master of pissing these dudes off!

sorry mate, searched scammers didnt come up with anything

is one of the threads posted last week or later.

Oh come on, maybe he's legit?

Find a really dodge online payment middle man and say you want to use them instead. String him along via email for as long as possible, then tell him you've decided to swap it for 3oz of coke, some viagra and a night with paris hilton.

...Or something like that.

tell him your from nigeria and as well as selling him the car you would like to share a wealthy strangers fortune with him
