scam time again

[BountyHunter]

this guy never gives up - same listing, but a V8 S this time

whats the history here?

[BountyHunter]

very similar ads go up every week or so - ive seen in the last few weeks a Cerb, Chim, Wedge and a Tuscan

always with the same photo of the blurb "dont contact me through ebay" etc etc but the second half tailored for the vehicle



theres several threads by various PH members on the general tvr stuff board (and probably on the various model boards too - depending on whats being advertised)

the ads dont last long as ebay usually pull them within a few days

Location is just down the road from me - is it always same, Selston?

[phillpot]

Auction this time, haven't they been "buy it now" before (and rediculously cheap)?

[Oldred_V8S]

One of the rare 3.5 litre ones

Strange the text further down says 4.0.

It may be a little while, as I believe the car is in Nigeria. ;-)

No problem, send him some more money and he can arrange the transporter for you :-)

[mikel003003]

Emailed him decided not to buy the car, but he asked for my credit card number so I gave it to him with my pin, also sent a photo copy of my passport and national insurance card always happy to help a fellow tvr owner

He's such a nice bloke. He asked me to send him £1,000 extra and he'd send me back £1,000,000 as he has so much (money) he doesn't know what do do with it. The £1k was to cover admin and exchange charges he said, who am I too know differently. What can go wrong? I've already ordered my new yatch ;-)

[S2Mike]

I think he is the same bloke who e- mailed me to say they have a client with the same last name as me, who wants me to join him in a $12.5m company venture. Just needs some capital from me for the legal arrangements.
Sounds good to me

Do people actually fall for these scams??

Could answer that 2 ways!

1st people do, thats why he keeps putting these bogus ads on ebay, and maybe he has successfully conned a few in the past.

2nd but he is going to keep tryin............just in case he manages to scam someone.
