Scammers on YBW.COM

I received this PM at 1.05 this morning. Boddy is a new user and this is first post. Is there nowhere safe for this form of low life. The article mentioned was sold weeks ago.

Hello

I am interested in buying the Hasselfors Sail Protectors/ Rigging Screw Cover that you have placed for sell now, and I would want to enquire about the present condition of the above mentioned, as well as some detail about you. I expect this timely enough.

As for the payment, I would need you to get back in touch with the last asking price as I will be paying with a certified cheque.

Lastly, please forward to me your full company's (or house address, telephone and fax) details as I will subsequently prefer reaching you through these facilities.

Yours interestingly,

Raymond Griffiths


Should you need to reply to me, Please get back in touch with your
details to me at:usc200881@yahoo.com for a quick reply.

Just had one myself regarding my Sikaflex. Looks like a fishing (phishing) type scam.

Have had several of thes ALL from yahoo.com ,must be a breeding place for these jerks. On a serious note. My e mail address was used by a gang from London, some chappie bought an outboard for £300 the seller used my name amd address to obtain his dues ,arranged for a mail gram to be picked up at my local post office,which he did,buyer did not get his outboard and the cheque was paid into a bank in London this is now (The case) in the hands of the fraud squad of the Met Police, funny thing is that I cannot work out why it it not come to my email address as well?
Buyer lives in Taunton ,I live in Penryn ,return trip to London does not leave a lot over. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Unless this is a spoof, has anyone noticed the slightly familiar wording - ie a West African country noted for its scams ?

PS. Could this just be Any Boddy ?
