Am i been conned or is thie legit?

[TheVtrKid]

Im selling my car on ebay, some guy who said hes a marine said he wants the car for his dad for a bday present. He said he's a marine and is over seas but he said he would get his agent to come pick the car up. He's sent me a payment of £1,680 to my paypal address but i've received many emails from paypal saying this money will not be in your account until you have sent a payment of £500 to the buyers agent via western union, and theres name and address of the agent there. Baring in mind, i said i won't accept any less than £680 for the car, and he told me he'd included the £500 to send to his agent but he's sent me £1680 which by my mathmatical skills should be £1180 including the £500? All the emails i received are from service@paypal.com and theres transaction numbers, rout codes and everything, just like a usual paypal email is set out and it says the money is safe with paypal and will be cleared into my account as soon as i have sent them a MCTN tracking number which i presume i receive when i send the money so it seems legit and he's emailing me, seems friendly and what not but is this usual that i have to send his agent £500 of my money before the money he's sent me can be cleared into my paypal account?

[wadoryu]

i would say it was mate give paypal a phone call mate

[Pixie]

Maybe you should call Paypal?!

[Furio-92]

Yeah mate, give PayPal a ring, they will clear it up

[chinkostu]

does it not ring any bells that you have to send HIM money for him to send YOU money? emails mean shit, i'd never sell a car to someone that involved me giving them money.

[Maxamus]

I think this is a well known scam mate im 90% sure ive seen a thread on this type of scam before..

[WILLIE-SAXOVTS]

OFF COURSE ITS A SCAM


JUST IGNORE ! :y:

[Mochachino]

lol, this thread dont even need making, use your head....its a scam.

Wouldnt it be easier and cheaper for the marine to get his mate to buy the car and give it to his dad rather than getting 'an agent' ... lol

[TheVtrKid]

the moneys already been sent to me. Paypal have confirmed that in many emails. Heres one of them.

The western union money transfer information's needed are the MTCN, and also the sender's name and address used to send the money. This information's will be given to you by western union after the money transfer has been done.

We are sorry for any inconveniences this might have caused and we want you to know that the total sum of £1,680 is ready and available to be credited into your account as soon as the necessary steps are taken by you.

[K17NEY]

Ive heard of loads of scams to do with western union.As soon as you send them the £500 they will retract the money and you will be out of pocket.
STAY WELL CLEAR

[sqwidge]

is there not some sort of complaint thing you can do to get to the bottom of this?

[Juggyluggs]

CON CON CON- Why should YOU need to send money?

[Barry123]

String him along... Tell him the car is been sent, give him a fake delivery numbrer.

Waste his time for a bit.

Yep, id do this aswell tbh. Bit of fun, see how they like the con :)

[Barry123]

Also, take his email address and sign him to as many Spam orientated sites as possible. So sign him up to Gay Scat Lovers.com, and Gay Lonely Hearts etc. It'll do minimal damage, other than be a minor nuisance but you may as well fuck around a bit - send him a few more emails with lots of random questions about the sale, basically drag this out for as long as you can, pretending to be a naive seller. waste his time make him think he's nearly got his hands on loads of cash.

[jono83]

LOL string him along..kinda reminds me of this most have prob seen before but its still a funny read http://www.zug.com/pranks/powerbook/index02.html

[Barber90]

This is well genius lollll

[Furio-92]

I agree with what most people are saying, reply to him and say something along the lines of "You father has been contacted not knowing it was for a special occasion being his birthday, he has come to view the car and has bought it due to not knowing anything about this for my time wasting, Scam's can backfire :)"

[TheVtrKid]

i thought of playing him along, but i missed my haircut appointment for this twat, as i thought it was legit, and i thought i'd sold my car so i could finally get my VTR so i wanted to piss him off and tell him he hadn't foolled me into giving him the cash. Asshole lol. I never been involved with western union at all, so i wasn't sure how to take it. I appreciate your replys though :) Thanks

[TheVtrKid]

i just received this off him lol

i don't understand what you meant?? i made the payment and the money is no longer in my account..and still yet you're telling me all this rubbish...i think i will need to report this to the POLICE...cos i think this is getting to much for me..and i know where this is leading to.....i will need to report this now.

From: jimmy Daniel (jimvsdan@gmail.com)

So if anybody wants to give him stick, feel free :)

He can happily have my email, if he is an actual marine, i have 2 in my family 2, 2 members of the RAF, a Semi pro boxer and doctor :) I think we cud take him :P

[Reechard]

I have e-mailed him.

I hate scammers

[exfiestagirl]

Also before you delete him from your ebay report him! Stops anyone else falling for it!

[Saxo-SX]

Some pricks out there.

Surely paypal could find out who the scammer is? Through the bank account number used to upload the money.

[CampDavid]

With the greatest of respect, you are massively retarded for falling for this in the first place.

[jeffchiz]

ive just emailed him :D

[Furio-92]

With the greatest of respect, you are massively retarded for falling for this in the first place.

i lol'd so hard at this!

[Shanukes]

would never sell a car through paypal, always cash on collection. In fact i don't sell anything on ebay reason being i don't trust the paypal system.

[davies5390]

hey mate its a scam they make up fake paypal invoices

[bullit]

[Alex]

Just a note, Emails are really easy to spoof and never click a link in the email, always type the address.

[hellonpluto]

Lol, thats the exact same email i received. But before that, in the first email he did send he was just ask if the car was still for sale. So i didn't know it was gonna be a scam.

[hellonpluto]

Lol, thats the exact same email i received. But before that, in the first email he did send he was just ask if the car was still for sale. So i didn't know it was gonna be a scam.

Lets see if he wants to buy my porsche GT3 RS? How much do these babies go for?

[TheVtrKid]

i also couldn't understand why he would want a light blue punto, sporty-ish-looking thing, for his dad. Feckin arfwit. Anybody heard back from him?

[hellonpluto]

i also couldn't understand why he would want a light blue punto, sporty-ish-looking thing, for his dad. Feckin arfwit. Anybody heard back from him?

He doesn't want the car just the £500 you send him via western union.

Anyway, he wants to buy my GT3 RS which is advertised at £84,000 (sent him pics i found on the web). He has subsquently sent me £94,000 to a "paypal" account that doesn't exisit!! This guy is an amatuer.

He wants £600 via western union for some reason. I'll ask him why. We may need some pictures of this guy if I can get some out of him.

[TheVtrKid]

lol nice. he'll say its because he needs you to send his agent some money to come pick the car up. Wat an asshole. Tell him i said hi lol

i think i've just received another 2, one from a Raymond Walter Kelly saying:

--
Hi,

I'm interested in the above named item you posted on gumtree. So I want to know if it's still available for sale? Get back ASAP.

Thankx.

and another froma smith cole saying:

--
I am interested in this product.Do you still have it for sale?kindly get back to me as soon as possible.

The reason i think there cons, is becaus both emails end @gmail.com (the same as this other dick) and the 2 lines at the top of the message? I replied just saying yes its still for sale, and i'm awaiting a reply, but is there anyway of seeing there frauds?

[Mr_X]

golden rule: anything that involves you sending money while you are selling something is a scam

[TheVtrKid]

and since when does my last post involving the emails i received say anything about me sending money to them?

[Qucifer666]

@gmail i think is google email address

[Barry123]

Tell them it's view, buy and drive only. No delivery.

Simple. Do not accept paypal. Do not accept fucking western union. Jesus Christ the piss poor spelling and referring to your car as a 'product'. Anything that deviates from the standard activites of selling a car is going to be a fake. Don't click on the links in any email from a seller. Anything where you have to send money is obviously a fake. Honestly you shouldn't have ask about this, it's worrying there are people out there that are unsure about these sort of things.

[TheVtrKid]

all i was asking is if i could tell it was a con by those emails i just received that i posted above. I never said anything about sending them money via western union, paypal or anything. Fuck me

[Barry123]

Fuck me

I'm straight so no thanks.

Look for gay names, who the fuck is christened 'smith' as a first name? Why hasn't any of them referred to your actual car in the email? These cockmunchers are running off hundreds of emails a day so they're just copy and pasting a generic 'i'm interestedz in yourz product' email with the hope someone will reply.

It's when you reply that they'll get specific... 'Can youz sendz moneyz to my agentz' etc all that bollocks

just reply as you have done 'yep still for sale' and maybe indicate times you are free for a viewing, that'll weed out the scammers since,
a) they're in Nigeria so can't view the car
b) they're wanting you to 'send' the car via an agent
c) they'll respond with a generic email indicating they want to do it by an agent and completely ignore what you've written

in which case you then know who's more genuine and who's being a prick.

Sorted

[TheVtrKid]

ye thats why i just said ye still for sale, cheers. Also one of the emails said for "I'm interested in the above named item you posted on gumtree" and the subject was 1997 fiat punto...etc etc. Well both emails had that subject, so maybe they are legit? Guess all i can do is wait and see what they reply.

[Lemmy92]

If they don't want to arrange to come see the car in person or cash on collect. Don't sell it. :)

[ash_hart]

Funny mate the same guy did this to me and he nrly got me basterd

[TheVtrKid]

i just got a reply off smith cole:

Thanks for getting back to me. I hope the product is in goodmechanical condition.Your sincerity is something I see very necessaryto appreciate.kindly get back to me with the total amount you wantedto sell this product for me.I will not be able to meet up with thecash and local pick up due to the nature of my work.I will however beneeding your full contact address with your cell phone # so that I canforward it to my shipping agent who will be coming over there for theinspection and shipping. I will be very glad to make the payment asapthrough my PayPal Account as I am currently in millitary camp and Iwon't definitely be able to make it to my bank to make bank wiresacross to you.As to shipping,I will contact a shipping company who will handleshipping. I will however be needing your contact address to be able toget the shipping quote from the shipping company.Do get back to measap with your PayPal Email address and Full name so that I can remitthe payment asap.Cheers,Smith

I feel like sending an email back saying go piss yourself. Wtf the point man? Completely wasting my times. Fuckin low lifes

[lemon191]

any email that contains
bad english (could be a chav i suppose but who wants to sell to them anyway lol)
generic/non specific wording like the above where it says product normal people would state what it is instead
anything where they are asking for payment details before even knowingh about the car etc

should be avoided
i thought it was just common sense but tbh cant blame the guy really if people are stupid enough to fall for it there will always be people to exploit them

[Mochachino]

LMAO i lolled

[hellonpluto]

I think we need a competition of who can get the largest paypal "payment" out of this guy. Currently the record is £94,000 that I received off him.

[VTSarah]

lol at this whole thread, made me chuckle :D good work guys! sorry to hear someone was trying to scam you though.

[Predator_R32]

lol 100% bullshit

I used to get these all the time when selling my car for the first time, i just went along with it as i knew it was a scam

told them to send a cheque

it came through the post, nationwide cheque, had clearly been printed out on a home printer, didnt even line up right, the quality of ink was crap and he clearly cut it with scissors lol

i emailed back "do you think i was born yesterday" and never got a reply :)

[Junction27]

Email addresses mean nothing, i could send an email appearing to be from you to yourself now. IMO its a scam.

[hooliganz]

also you have to make sure when you read the email ....@paypal.com make sure there is no other email aka accountant emails in with it! they are all comiing from nigeria, alot of them use google mail(gmail) as emails. and the forge the paypal images because it is one of the easiest ways to scam.

also alot of these fake emails from "paypal" often ask you to confirm the order and when you post a item with either money or clicking on the email which takes you to a phishing site when you type your email and password in it goes to a email or a scammers server not paypals server,(if you right click a page and view source if you know what your looking for you can see where your details are being sent to) there are to many paypal scams around at the minute. paypal need to lock their sources so people cant forge their website,emails ect

if you do alot of online selling via paypal or ebay ect .Try and get into some whitehat hacking sites (or black hat website and im not advertising hacking here by the way) to learn what hackers are using most these days you will notice a scam as soon as you see one then it helps alot.

also when you get given a address for posting a item to another country of somesort always check the postal or zip code as some of these may look like there from another country or place but actually post/zip code is just made to look longer and if you break it down it actually (95% of the time) its in the uk and either takes you to a empty house or the actual scammer address.

just some advice if any one needs a hand with stuff like this give me a message

[saxokid100]

all im going to say is scam......

[JAFFA_JAKE]

i would definately phone up ebay n paypal cos thats never happened with me before

[TheVtrKid]

i would definately phone up ebay n paypal cos thats never happened with me before

Luck you mate. I've had my car on ebay for 6 days, and i've received 3 of these scams. Us people take time and care in cleaning the car inside and out so it looks nice for the photos, then time making descriptions as clear as possible about the car etc, and all you get is assholes like that. Complete assholes.

[Bodvts]

I've had one like it mrs was looking for a car she saw an audi on auto trader she emailed asking about it and got a reply saying the seller was a doctor and had moved to Greece so didnt need his car, it said his family in leeds were were holding the car and would deliver when he got the money sent. I replied saying if car was in Leeds i'll go meet his family with it only been 20 miles from me and would give them the money to send him i just kept him going as much as i could be bothered thought it was a scam as car was way too cheap. One of his emails even mentioned send the money through ebay for a car for sale on trader.

[aLz327]

scam for sure

[x_steph_vts_x]

lol this wholllle thread is funny !!!

Never happened to me before and reading this has taught me not to get involved with people who ask for money first .. Your the one selling and wanting money so theres absolutley NO need for you to give this dick a penny !!!

Can't believe he was up for buying a porsche and paying 94,000 into an account
Lol what an idiot !!!!
Hopefully hes in prison now :y:

[Peter_D]

scam for sure

OH MY GOD is it really a scam?

Hold on.. are you saying... that this. Is not. A scam?

Well i read through the whole thread, and no one could establish wether this was genuine or a scam.

But then i read alz327's post on the last page saying it's a "scam for sure", and was shocked to find out that it is a scam

I wasn't gonna read the last page, as i thought there was no hope of anyone giving a clear answer wether this is a scam or not, but luckily i did!

Thank you for your post alz327

[Giraffe]

Wait so 5 pages later, is it still unclear as to whether this is a scam?! Holy shit.

Well I'm gonna say I don't think it's a scam, think you should give it a go, see what happens!

EDIT: I know I already said it's a scam earlier in thread, but IDC. Go for it mate, you might get lucky and make a fortune!

No you're wrong, it HAS been determined that it is a scam!

On this last page, look!

I see what you are saying, the sheer authority and certainty of Alz post does indeed confirm this as a scam. All hail the might wisdom of Alz.

is this sarcasm....? ;)

[Peter_D]

There may be a slight hint of sarcasm there, but hopefully i didn't go over board..

[Saxo-Will]

I wasn't quite sure you see, because as you stated Alz did infact enlighten us to the suspected scam...

[saxovtsmad]

A scam??? Really???????

Fuck it mate, this is obviously isn't going to go away until we get Scooby and the gang in to solve this mystery. That Nigerian scammer would have got away it, if it weren't for all these meddling Sax-p kids!

[Prickle]

Ive sent £1000 to your paypal account, my agent will pick up the car later.

Thanks.

[Bound]

Ah thanks guys. Glad that's been cleared up. That's settled then.

[Barry123]

[Saxo-Will]

so is this a scam or not?

[S18AXO]

Think you should take a chill pill. The guy was only trying to help.

If you read the first post, and theres 6 pages of answers, then not everybody has the time to look right through all of them, so i appreciate there opinion, and think you should take a chil pill and shut the **** up :)

That was good to get off my chest...ty

Your post is invalid for having to even ask if it was a scam in the first place, thus creating 6 pages of pure shit. Peter has a valid point, if the guy can't be bothered reading threads, he shouldn't really be posting in them, it's just not the done thing on forums. Even then, you would think that common sense dictates that within 5 pages the original question would have been answered given it's rather simplistic and obvious nature, unless of course there was something else mentioned that would be worth reading for. So what's it gonna be, does this thread have something in it worth reading about, or does the guy lack common sense? Considering he obviously didn't read the thread, the answer is clear...

Very true!

Some people don't read the threads replys, and then just post the exact same thing as everyone else has done! Without bothering their arse to read them!

So then i click on a thread i haven't seen, which is 4 pages long, and i take the time to read through it before offering my input, only to find theres 1 page of decent replies, and the rest are just simplified clone replys of all the other ones!

So VTRKid, think before telling me to shut the fuck up.. cheers kiddy x

[TipTopTom]

Yeah but does anybody know if this is ACTUALLY a scam though?

If he's a marine he must be trustworthy right?

And he said "agent". That sounds professional.

I think He's a genuine honest guy who just wants a car.

Paragraphs do help.

Would you send back £500 of your money to recieve the money from him then?

Hmmmm this has blown the debate wide open again! I'm not sure whether it is a scam now...

[Peter_D]

As the saying goes..."If in doubt, tell him to fuck off"

[Barry123]

Tiptoptom has made some very valid points. And, like you Will, I'm now doubting that the buyer is actually a scammer.

exactly what i received but £1680 he sent me. Now he sends all these recipits, and transaction ID's just like you do if you buy/sell something on ebay, so first thing you think, is wow nice one. Seems pretty legit, which is why i opened this thread in the first place to ask

Their intention isn't to send anyone out at all, so this wont work

He doesn't want the car he just wants the £600 transaction fee that you send back to him
