chrisb Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Years ago, late 90s when I ran an ISP, I reported a fake licence scam and got a thank you reply as it resulted in arrests
Yenn Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 The police were not interested and put me onto Scamwatch. Fat lot of good they are. the follow up is emails purportedly from Paypal and they are trying to get me to send money to his agent. The pity is that nobody really wants to buy the Corby and I can't fly 2 planes.
Teckair Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Got this little gem today from [email protected] Hi darling my name is miss Nary. i saw your profile today raa.asn.au i will like you to write me back so that i will tell you further about me i will sent you my picture
Teckair Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 sounds like a sure thing teckair Yeah but I am spoken for, so I thought I would share the love on here, anyone is welcome to cut in.
facthunter Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Why do people confuse Lust with Love?. Good honest Lust is far more reliable. ALL those Russian Babuska's think you are RICH. They are not after your BODY. They change the Locks and issue the AVO at just the right time.. The only thing that is forever is TAXES (and something else bad that I can't remember) Nev.
Teckair Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 The only thing that is forever is TAXES (and something else bad that I can't remember) Nev. That would be death.

dazza 38 Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Right o Peeps. I need some advice- I have my micro excavator for sale. I received a SMS and I will quote it word for word.(with spelling mistakes), "Hi darryl, just looking at your machine on internet, have sent you 2 emails, just wandering (sic) if you would take $20 000 cash for machine and trailer. I am on the central coast and would drive up to pick it up. I have cash ready." Thanks Steve sent by number plus 61 412 334 643 I think its dodgy as in who would make a offer on something without even seeing it ? PS- It may be kosher, he has just sent me a email. And his email address is clearconcepts AT optusnet.com.au. Which is a Sydney company that does pool fencing.
rankamateur Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 He might have a real good look at it before he parts with the cash, and you have a real good cash buyer, if he sees something he doesn't like, he will just hop back in his truck, and all he has lost is some time and some diesel.
dazza 38 Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 A cash sale is no good to me as the digger is a asset in my p/l company . I have to charge him GST whether he likes it or not. Plus I fly out on Wednesday back to work.
rankamateur Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 If he is actually from clear concepts it is no good to him either because he will need a tax invoice too. He is offering you 18181.82 plus GST. 1
DrZoos Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Just cause someone offers you cash doesnt mean they want it done off the books. Just means they are not waiting on finance, or can hand you cash for a receipt if thats what you want.... i think your being a bit paranoid on this one.... not that i blame you with $20k on the line. Just go thru the usual steps of sussing him out...a phone call always reveals a lot about a buyer 1

Teckair Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Yes I reckon it is legit does not sound like a scam.
dazza 38 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I got the good old " Can I pay a deposit now", I said you haven't even looked at it yet? He said "I'm in NSW". I then said, "no need for a deposit , you have first choice in buying it or not when you have a look at it." He said "OK". Then correspondence stopped.
Bandit12 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Maybe suggest that he can pay the deposit by Western Union? 2
Teckair Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Yes I reckon it is legit does not sound like a scam. Ooops.
Gnarly Gnu Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Well he's probably buzzed off you implied he may be a scammer and posted his email address on a public forum. I would be too. Hope you find another buyer soon...
