Reply to classified adds. Be aware of this rogue

Geoff, it is a scam.............. well documented on here and other places, but thanks for the heads up.

The name and occupation varies, but always somewhere out of contact. These replies having been coming for adverts about four to one compared to genuine ones for as long as I have been on the internet. The used to say Western Union, but now have updated to Paypal - well a good looking copy of the site.

Our son recently advertised a car or boat, and he said the scam ones all came on the first day. After that they were genuine.

A bit funny..a remote mine site in NZ! Lived there for 55 years, yet to find any remote mine site!!

Yes I got the same email today from this guy on something I have for sale. It found the recycle bin rather quickly

If he has no reception he would have no internet.

Its a straight out scam where he will ask for a payment that covers the freight and when you pay it he disappears.

Run Fast.


As a Kiwi I dont know of any mine sites that wouldnt have a phone if they have electricity.

Even Miford Sound which is fairly remote has coverage these days

Remote mine site, off shore oil rig, confined to defence force barracks and can't contact in person.........

Common scam been around for years and unfortunately it has sucked many ppl in, don't you be next.

When they turn up on your door step with cash in hand, give them possession of their newly acquired item.

Other than that...................ppffftttt............

Had some furniture advertised recently on gumtree. Second hand and not worth much. Had similar phone call. Person wanted to ship furniture to Darwin as he said he was working away and had a place there he wanted set up for his return. Told him it would cost more to ship than worth Said he had trucking company sorted. He just wanted my bank details and the money would be deposited and truck would arrive. Smelt a rat and said give me details of trucking company and I will check. He said if you can't trust me there is no point in going on and that was it. Lots of it going on unfortunately. Be very careful and if it doesn't sound right give it a miss. Mongrels should be blown up!

Hi this is a cut & paste with a filthy scammer on a week or so ago.... probably best to read from the bottom, up.

Happy new year to all.

Do you have any problem using paypal or setting up a account to receive the funds ?? i would have come with cash in hand myself and do the necessary things before concluding on payment but i'm not in the country right now due to work commitments, we save peoples life as i'm a public health worker with which we get transferred to a whole lot of places at anytime.

Alright thanks, for the convenience of both parties i have organized with a shipping company to come pick it up as soon as we're through with payment ... Go ahead and send me your paypal email address and the account name or invoice to remit the funds asap, so the transport company can come for the pick up at your address after you received the payment.

Hi Christina,
Thanks for the reply.
I have totalled all the items & they come to $2880.00 I would accept $2000.00 (firm, cash) for the ‘lot’ we are moving to a smaller home & downsizing.
All the pieces are in very good condition & come from a non smoking household.
Regards
Tony

I had the same kind of thing ten years ago when a bloke wanted to buy a $250,000 boats sight unseen. I ran a mile.

Hi all, mate of mine was selling a motor cycle, had same thing, but the so called buyer, even produced a PayPal receipt and sent it to him in an email.. He then contacted PayPal and was told it was fake.. The scum bags will try everything they can.. I myself have had the same, but a merchant sailor... could only corespond by email.. Cash is king! Lol... Cheers Odog
