LongDonkey Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Better respond before he has to go back to his oil rig.
Me rida my bicycle Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 The sad thing is that they still catch people with this sh@t.
RobertWhitehead Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Am I slow here? How exactly will he scam you ? Maybe I need an education - something like "scamming for dummies" or something like that
Vetplant Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 They make the initial communication deliberately dodgy to ensure that only the most gullible/desperate of people will even reply, then they know the future comms with said party has good chances of success. They deliberately choose an international location to have the door open for transfer fees for the cash which should come to the seller but they won't have enough money to pay those fees and then ask you to pay it on their behalf. Meanwhile you are just paying them and at worst also sending them a bike.... They won't catch out us lot, they fish for the most gullible among us with these types of posts.
Schnavel Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Respond, ask him to make payment and then don't release the bike until the money clears - it never will... Mess him around a bit
RobertWhitehead Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Oooooo, ya no, that's a real dumb scam, no wonder I couldn't understand how they'll get the money They make the initial communication deliberately dodgy to ensure that only the most gullible/desperate of people will even reply, then they know the future comms with said party has good chances of success.
