I don't get it ... is it really just a fake email saying you have funds in paypal?! You only need to check your account to see that's false, not much of a scam

I send the 700 to him thru western union, fax the receipt to paypal so they can release the 10,000 to my account, give him the address for collection and never hear from him again

Understand you want to have fun with the scammers. Problem is now you have been passed onto every scammers database so expect to have your email addy spammed to death by total SH one Tee. Fair play to you for taking the time to give us all a heads up / lol

some recall the payment, others use the fake bank draft they get your car and the fee to the courier.

I thought I had faxed the documents to paypal but Id actually vaxed them so the receipt is in the hoover. Ill empty it tomorrow and get it sent first thing

Sorry for the delay, please bear (hug) with me. Im on it like a car bonnet,

? If 700 means so little to you, give me a ring with a card number and I can run it through my car machine of you like.

Once the 700 is paid you wont hear a thing from them.

reply sent. Thanks to SS.net for the input.



Hi friend,


Not happy Sunday, not happy Sunday at all (sad smiley).




I had to take Poo-Poo to the vets as the dog flu is much worse than I thought and it sh@t all over the interior so it won't be ready for a while until I can get it valeted.

I received the email from your agent who is ready to collect. If you could tell him just to bring a small van to pick the car up as it isnt really a whole car yet and it comes in seed form.
We have had such a bad summer it has not quite grown into a full size car but its ok as I have a small clown friend who has been using it for circus entertainment and he swears by the car.

I'll get the vax out (again) and give the interior a good clean and shampoo once Poo-Poo is back to his old self and doesnt require 24hr care.

Please bear with me during these difficult times.
