Hello,
I saw your ad and i will like to know if its still available for sale
and what is the condition? if possible send me more pictures of it.
Thanks.

My Phone No: 07024093770
My Email Address: mooreb@in.com
Received the above reply to my RX8 currently for sale. Smelt like a scam so thought I'd ring the number for lolz.

Very odd ring tone, and then a very odd bloke- Told him he'd replied to my ad. He started wittering on about "Why you not reply my message?"

Very, very entertaining. Please feel free to ring and record the responses. I told him he was an idiot and hung up, plenty more fun to be had I reckon!

carreauchompeur = not bad scammer, better than average effort IMHO.

But... foiled by Phunk in 10 mins.

The power of PH.

Meh, thought it might have been some sort of premium rate number, it was worth 50p or so to call the bloke a tosser!

Double scammed!

Got a few of these when I advertised a car a few weeks ago. Played along and it ended up with him sending me a fake Paypal email supposedly showing that he had paid £500 too much to Paypal, and paypal wouldn't release the money (or even acknowledge it existed!) until I pay him back.
I did get an address for him, but it was a couple of hundred miles away in that there London. Still, if i'm ever down that way I might throw a brick through the window or something.

The phone safe numbers in the classifieds are 070 as well. Does that mean they are 50p a minute as well?

Meh, I'm aware it might have cost me a few quid today, but well worth it for the Scambaiting lolz, on speakerphone in the pub...

HSBC, Barclays, The Queen ("You might know me from the stamps...")

All good biggrin
