International poop, sounds interesting, a joint venture we could do hmm?

What would customs make of it? And sniffer dogs?

Who do you know that trains their dog to sniff...that? It's a win win situation if I ever thought of one.

The reason PPPpowerbook was so good was because they put the full value on the parcel so the scammer had to pay hundreds of pounds worth of tax for it

Plus the team of stalkers in the barber shop/internet cafe taking photos of the scammer - absolute class

Go to your local pet shop and get a squeaky mobile phone dog toy, or a £1.99 toy phone...post it cheapest method

When you sell something on eBay make sure you put restrictions on buyers so that people outside the country you ship to are not allowed to bid. Saves all this trouble.
I'd just ignore him.

Whatever you choose, send or do,
Make sure you send it, with haste and Poo!

LOL

Send the item, the buyer seems legit too me.

Unless i've totally misread the thread is MrSix claiming to be scammed into having £201.00 placed into his account and has decided to steal it rather than refund it to a Ebayer he doesn't wish to deal with ?

Ice Tea · 16 Sep 2008 at 08:11

Well i just reread it and it still looks to me that MrSIx is stealing £201 unless somebody can explain it in idiot terms. ?

No money has been transferred and never will be.

Ice Tea · 16 Sep 2008 at 08:22

DOH! fake emails i get it.

Took ages for the penny to drop

My apologies to MrSix

GTanny · 16 Sep 2008 at 08:23

So this is how these scammers get away with it sometimes...

Ice Tea · 16 Sep 2008 at 08:41

I wasn't going by the fact you had emails i wrongly assumed you had checked your paypal account and had funds of £201 but you didn't want to deal with him incase it was from a stolen credit card.Now reading as it is with emails from fake addresses it makes sense.

Boscher · 16 Sep 2008 at 09:19

Oh dear Ice Tea...

I always knew there were people out there as naive as yourself, as these scammers must have relative success to keep doing what they do. But c'mon we're on a tech forum I expected better
