yea ppl are dumb....and i never got a response from thse ppl. ;)
 
I was watching MSNBC and they have a special on scams. It was mostly CC fraud.

None the less, EVERYTHING was being shipped to Africa.

As soon as I saw Africa I knew it was a scam.

Good job asking. I can't believe all the trouble these scum people go through rip people off. I just hope that what goes around comes around.

Aw hell who am I kidding. They live in fuggin Africa (no offense). Lets be honest thoguh, America has a couple more plusses than the location that these people are living in.... Health care anyone?

They get shamans shakin chikens as doctors
 


last year when i was selling razzi body kits for my monte carlo. i had so many people interest and i knew they all bunches of low life scammers. i had one person asked me if they can come and look at it. i lied and said it's locked up in a storeage. he asked me what's the name of the storeage and address????:th_shakinghead2: i end up putting it on ebay and sold it to some guy from ohio. i met up with him half way in Indiana and he gave me $600 cash. i asked for $500, but the $100 was for gas money so that work out great!

heres a reply from an ad on craigslist lol
Jason,

Thanks for the response, Actually when i saw your advert i was hoping you will still have the item for sale. okay............concerning the pick up i have spoken with my shipping company for the pick up, they advised that I send the shipping charges together with your payment in the CHECK my colleague would issue out to you so as to make the transaction faster. because if i send the shipper a separate check it will take them 15 working days to clear in Greece.

So I would have to instruct my colleague to make out the check with excess funds including the shippers charges to you via ups next day air immedaitely you get it, then cash it deduct your portion with 55$ compesation for the little stress you go through that makes the total of $855 for you, and send the excess funds to the shipping company for immidiate pick up of the (1998 4 x 4 blazer) from your house and other items which they are suppose to shiped to my house from new york, colorado, and florida. i will email you my shipper's info where to send the shipping charges to via Western union or Money Gram.

All you are to do is to take the check to your bank and get it cash then have your portion deducted from the total amount and send the remaining balance to the shipper for the pick-up of the item..

Please I would need you to do me this favour for me as well my shipper coz is the only reliable shipper that has been shipping goods for me for over 4 years now. do this favour to avoid any delay in the transaction. Thanks for your understanding..

Note: pls dont forget to send me your cell phone number also with the name you want on the check including the address which the check will be mail to by courier service.

i look forward to your prompt response...........

BEST REGARDS..............

dude i got the same kinda deal offered for my buick i was selling on craigs list, and yes his name was also micheal carrol!!!!! however he said nothing about greece....altough everything else was pretty much the same...... f-n scammers
 
I got one of those. I was looking at a 01 WS6 for $4500 (lol). They wanted me to give them money through pay pal and they would ship the car to me... From new york. None the less after several back and forwards emails, the peson would NOT give me there phone number. According to "her" she said she was a single mother and she got the car in a divorce...At the end I told them to F off cuz its a scam.

They come from little kids in South Africa. They devote whole office buildings to em. Obviously you would not be dumb enough to go with this deal.

I know! I saw it on Dateline NBC :)
 
Its just to bad there is not a way to send a message with something embedded in it that would blow up their computer............oh wait.........that's already been done :p

Anytime I see an email with "Barister" or "Accountant" or "Lawyer for So in So X" or the names of a foreign Country, I just laugh and hit delete. I use to reply back with a prewritten message I used for all scammers, but it got old cause you would get so many in your Yahoo or Hotmail accounts.

They all just need to die :) Nothing violent...........just die :p
