Scam alert

[petermack09]

Just received a rambling email from an Arthur Wilson regarding my Eastman air comfort. I put the jacket on the Eastman classifieds and this zoomer has got in touch. Remember his name if anyone is selling.

Bugger, I was just about to forward him my bank details and address

He wants your address to send a "removal agent?"

Yeah, to remove all your belongings.

Did you report this to ELC?

I’m appreciate I use gooder english
I’ve seen similar scams many times. They’re usually out of country or on a ship blah blah. I find any time I advertise anything it takes the first 2 or 3 days to work through the scammers. They usually latch on within minutes of posting. Must have a program that flags new postings. Death by unga bunga to all of them I say.

I had the same e mail from him, asking about my B3 must have got my e mail from elc Classifieds.
Offered to send me a check(!) Message was posted at 5. AM
Just blocked him

Reminds me of the dead Nigerian man found in his apartment surrounded by huge bundles of cash...couldn't give it away(apparently)

It amazes me how much time and energy some people put in to avoid getting a real job.

 

[John Lever]

These creatures have destroyed buying and selling online, I hate them.

 

[Micawber]

Almost word for word the same as the ones I got in response to my ads on ELC classifieds ages ago. High end goods displaying contact info attracts dodgy as well as genuine people. I very much doubt it is an individual but several or even AI.

 

[John Lever]

AI.
Welcome to the new world

I watched a doc last night (probably why I’m in a pissy mood today) about the whole ticketmaster/ticket scalping thing. They interviewed a guy who bought 100000 dollars worth of tickets last year and sold them for 300000. They asked him if he thought that was alright. His answer “if I didn’t do it someone else would “. Really? Is that what humanity is come to.
Oh boy,if I were king of the world for a day. Sumbuddy goin to get a hurtin real bad. That’s my rant for the day.

Tell him to send you a bank cash money order payable upon presentation at the bank and tell him that you will meet his representative for transfer of the jacket at a mall or some other very public place or…. In front of the police station for transfer. If he’s not legit you won’t hear from him again .

Ahhhhhh, yes, the good old “unga bunga “ works every time
