Seems like someone takes me for a dumb ass!, by Imoy-San on Feb 11, 2008 16:30:23 GMT 1, I'm about to sell my Roland 909 drum machine, through Loot.
Having had a couple of email exchanges with someone, he sent me a note that seems very different from all other correspondence - other messages were in a normal writing style; punctuation, spelling, grammar, etc.
I am ok with Bongo's use of caps, but I was a bit thrown when the following email arrived in my mailbox - apologies for the layout, punctuation, etc. This is how it arrived!:
"MAIL NOTIFICATION IN RESPONSE TO THE ADVERT PLACED ON THE WEB I AM INTRESTED IN THE PURCHASE OF YOUR (Roland TR909 drum).I AM A BUSSINESS MAN IN THE UNITED KINGDOM IN WALES,BUT AS AT NOW I AM OUT OF STATE FOR A BUSINESS TRIP.I WILL BE HAPPY IF THIS (Roland TR909 drum) IS MINE AS I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS PARTICULAR MODEL.THESE ARE MY TERMS OF TRANSACTION:
1 I AM OKAY WITH THE PRICE ยฃ1000
2 I WILL BE PAYING WITH A UK CHEQUE
3 I WILL PAY IN EXCESS WHICH WILL BE ยฃ3,000
THE EXCESS FUNDS IS FOR MY SHIPING AGENT WHICH WILL COME FOR THE PICK UP OF THE (Roland TR909 drum) IN YOUR LOCATION AND I AM BUYING IT FOR MY SON.I WILL WANT YOU TO GET BACK TO ME WITH YOUR FULL NAME,ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER.THIS INFORMATION WILL BE NEEDED FOR SMOOTH TRANSACTION AS THE NAME GIVEN WILL BE ON THE CHEQUE AND IT WILL BE SENT TO THE ADDRESS GIVEN,AFTER YOU HAVE GETTING THE PAYMENT AND IT CLEARS YOU WILL SEND THE BALANCE TO MY SHIPPING AGENT VIA WESTERN UNION TRANSFER IN OTHER FOR THEM TO COME FOR PICK UP,.THE PHONE NUMBER WILL BE FOR TIME TO TIME CONTACT WHICH YOU WILL BE PROVIDE TO ME.IF YOU ARE OKAY WITH MY TERMS SEND ME THE INFORMATION NEEDED WITH THE PRESENT LOOK OF THE (Roland TR909 drum) WHICH IS THE PICS OF IT.I BELIEVE THIS TRANSACTION IS ON TRUST,AS YOU TRUST ME WITH YOUR INFORMATION SO I TRUST YOU WITH MY FUNDS AND THE STATUS STATED THAT THE (Roland TR909 drum) IS OKAY AND IN GOOD CONDITION.LOOKING FORWARD TO A HAPPY TRANSACTION.I WILL LIKE YOU TO GET BACK TO ME AS SOON AS YOU GET THIS MASSAGE,LOOKING FORWARD TO HEAR FROM YOU ASAP "
I hope this doesn't hurt your noodle or eyes as much as it has mine.
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Cheers

Seems like someone takes me for a dumb ass!, by Imoy-San on Feb 11, 2008 16:38:21 GMT 1, Thank you!!! I was a bit thrown. I guess it probably works this way - 'he sends a duff cheque, which I bank, and send off my drum machine, and ยฃ2000! The bank then contacts me to say the cheque hasn't cleared...'
What the hella? These guys don't miss a trick! I am sure the Welsh will have something to say about this

My mate tried to sell a motorbike and kept on getting emails about buying his boat, for a different amount, etc.... If you google nigerian scam you will find plenty about it. Is the scourge of autotrader/loot/etc.
All works on the principle that they send a fake cheque, it appears in your account (as the bank semi-clear it), you send on your payment, then the bank realise it is fake and pull the cash from your account.

dont give him your real name , address or anything that could be used to clone your details,
Never disclose your personal information to strangers, be sure they are genuine buyers before you reveal any personal details.
Be suspicious if someone expresses an interest in an item they have never seen.
Never accept an offer to ship an item to a third party abroad.
If someone offers to pay for an item, plus shipping costs, and requests that you pay the shipping agent yourself - don't do it.
If you will accept a cheque, only deliver/release the item you're selling once you're absolutely certain the cheque has cleared. If you are unsure, contact your bank directly.

I'm going to get the email account blacklisted. On the email thing, he's supposed to be in Wales, his email address is registered in Denmark, and he's "out of state" - must be his mind!

Very dodgy steer well clear of that imo.

Seems like someone takes me for a dumb ass!, by craigf on Feb 11, 2008 23:14:02 GMT 1, I received a very official looking email susposedly from eBay yesterday, first assumption was it was a scam and as you started reading through it became very clear that the mail was dodgy. They did however have my full name. Give aways were the terrible grammer and comments such as the "suspention" of my account and "solve this unpleasant situation"

They actually take this type of thing seriously as it is a major fly in their ointment ( funny how they dont take fraudulent items, unsent items and ripped off customer complaints so seriously....).
If they have some of your details looks like you have most likely already fallen for the first part of a phishing scam at some point.

if there was a link to ebay from the email there is a chance it was a cloned site made to look exactly like ebay, when you enter your log in details they will be stored and/or sent to the scamsters.
allways check that emails are of who the claim to be, and check for the little s next to the HTTP in the web address when entering details to ebay or your bank.
if you think it was a scam email , change your log indetails and make a new password.
better safe than sorry,
change it anyway , just in case

Hey, want to trade your 909 for a micallef?
Oh and have fun with these guys a little, give him a phony name, number address and all that stuff, make him waste his time with you. You get this a lot if you try to sell stuff on craigslist too.

i think there is a school in nigeria teaching people how to riip off the western world with these scams
