Is it worth all of us emailing this loser?? ;);););):D:D



Mind you.. he's probably stolen someone's Ebay Id too... :disapprove::mad:
Theiving scum!

[Julz]

I'm with LnL on this one, we should all email this eejit!!:evil::D

[Cooper_si]

this is really bad ! and becoming way too common!!! :(

[Gismo]

I considered it too, but, i fear they'll hack into my account just for the fun of it :disapprove:
John's done the right thing in reporting it to eBay, though they tend to be very slow etc at least it's in the right channels
Unless of course someone has an extra eBay account that does not have any credit card tie ins with paypal etc etc ;)

[GAJ]

These scams work by someone using an innocent parties eBay ID (probably as a result of a phishing email), if you send any emails they will go to the poor sod who has had his ID mis-appropriated. There's not any sophisticated hacking going on, just simple social engineering!

Probably best to simply inform eBay rather than compound the guy's misery!

[Scottie]

Ok I am a bit stupid.:I:clown:. This guy has done all this hoping someone will pay out the price he wants for the car and then he cuts and run.???? or is it something else I'm missing????

How can these guys get away with it.

I use ebay less and less now.

Was just being told at the weekend of a older lady who bought a phone through ebay the guy sent the phone to her she took it into the phone shop to get it topped up and to be shown how to work it. Turns out it was one of those dummy phones that are used for display in the phone shops.:( Now that's crap.

Some people Just don't have any Thought for others.

I have a mate with a dormant ebay account, has'nt used it in years.

I can give you the details or you can type here what you want said and I will happily let him know on your behalf.

This ebay account has no tie ins such as credit card, the email address is dead too so he cant touch it.

Or I can bid it on it and **** him about by not paying for it, then tell him where he can stick it !!

Oh yes, go for it :evil:

[Clare1]

Give him pelters and abuse!!! lol

I bought a Sony digital camera from ebay over a year ago, it arrived within two weeks, perfect condition and i saved over £100 on retail price. Fantastic!!!
But saying that, a friend recently tried to buy something over £300 from a seller in CHINA, who wanted payment sent to GERMANY and wouldnt accept paypal or worldpay....cheques or postal orders only! Ebay sent an email warning to be cautious regarding this item and seller then another email was sent from ebay saying that there was 3rd party involoved and NOT to use or trust this seller and not to send any money.

Can be good if you get the right seller but there are too many scams out there now.

Well this is the response I got from the "seller" of Nenahs car - seems really odd to me as he says it is ready for shipping from Ireland - yet just an hour or so ago I picked it up from Tinthaus in Aberdeen. I have asked for some pics of the engine bay and copy of the service record - so we will see what he comes back with.

Hello,

The car is still available for sale and ready to be shipped.
The price 5300 GBP including shipping to your home address.
Shipping will be done via Lufthansa Air Cargo from Dublin,Ireland and it will take no more then 2 days for the car to arrive at the delivery location.Lufthansa will manage me a low price for shipping and if you will pay the money transfer taxes,I will pay for the shipping fees.I will arrange for you not to pay any dutyes when the car will pass through customs.In this way the car can be delivered to your home address.


Also,you have nothing to worry about this deal because will be done it in a secure way.The most important thing in all my activities, is that I am affiliated at eBay Security Center and I have a Purchase Protection Account for USD $20,000 and I assume you know what this means.If you did not hear about them here are their terms:

1) If you will receive the car not as advertised,eBay will refund you the whole amount which you paid me(100 %).In case that you will not receive the car,they will refund you the money back from my account.

2) You can send the money to my name and address but you will not provide me the details of the payment.You will provide the details to eBay.They will verify the payment and if is ok,and the money are availble under my name they will notify me to procede with the shipping.After you receive and see that the car is the one you want,you just notify eBay to forward me the payment details in order for me to pick up my money.

Let me know if this is ok with you,so that we can go forward with this deal!About the payment eBay will manage in my place the financial details.
Regards!

p.s. I need your full name and shipping address in order to contact eBay and start the deal.

I would imagine junk e-mail would be the last of the worries of the fraudster. A knock on the door from the local constabulary would be much better.

[Nenah]

How can we stop this F****** - John's email to ebay obviously didnt do anything - does anyone know how to contact ebay by otehr means than email?

[MartinSullivan]

The listing has gone off ebay - but the guy is still emailing me and telling me that everything is ok, he is claiming that he has told ebay to suspend the auction as I am buying the car.

Martin - if you say you're going to buy it I wonder if he's stupid enough to give you his address...?...and we can send him a nice surprise in the mail!!!

[sleepyrascal]

my address will be iknowwhereyoufuc*inglive@hotmail.co.uk, or imwatchinyoucun*@hotmail.com haha

[MartinSullivan]

The email address the guy is using is jabbermatt@verizonmail.com - he has gone quiet just now after I asked for scans of service info etc, but I will try and reel him back in again.
