Yet another Raymarine scam on eBay...

[pvb]

C120 display here. I emailed the seller and got this reply....

"If you will agree with my payment metoth and you will wire the money in max 24 hours the price will be $700us, Because now I am in Europe, The shipping will be made trough UPS express delivery and because I will pay for the shippment you will pay the fees for the money transfer. The payment which I accept is Western Union money transfer because is the fastest way to conclude a payment, So if you agree with my terms please mail me ASAP."

What do you expect if you buy Raymarine!!

These blasted Nigerians get evrywhere. You would think that by now that they would have learned to spell, to at least look a little credible. Have they no other talents in life other than scamming (which they ain't good at!). Err, no, obviously not.

It does look dodgy. What I can't figure out (yet) is that the items she is selling are priced in AU$ and yet the seller is UK based. I'll keep looking

I think you're way out of order to make a statement like this and want to make it clear that you don't represent my views to anybody who may be reading this forum

And to suggest they have no other talents means that you are too ignorant to bother to look at their music, dance, costume, food or cultural heritage. Shame on you.

You ain't obvisouly had business dealings with them!

Had another one on Ebay today - "Second Chance Bid" for a 1996 low hours Suzuki 60HP for $550.00 - including shipping!

Too smart for that, do you want to tell us about your experiences?

 

[Doffy]

I would but it would frighten you to death, I live here for 6 months a year.

The old brown envelope is everywhere

Guess you're in oil then?

 

[nordic_ranger]

No not realy! sufice to say that I've been asked for Bra's to Bibles in the way of bribes. Google Nigerian scames for an eye opener.

 

[tome]

Don't need google - I'm well aware of the scams.

And being in oil myself I have regular dealings.

 

[BrendanS]

Agree, I've met many very nice respectable Nigerians, and they have a long cultural history.

However, the scammers don't do anything to help. At the risk of offending, this spoof site did make me laugh - check out the 'courses'

Hee hee, but you'd have to be pretty daft to fall for any of this stuff, no?

 

[Steve Clayton]

It's been pulled (as has another item being auctioned by the same scammer)

 

[Dave_Snelson]

Yes, you are right

Please accept my apologies. When I read this back it looked as bad as you thought. Clearly I did not mean the population of Nigeria, I meant the Nigerian scammers. If I really thought this of Nigeria and indeed other African nations, I wouldn't be buying a house over there - which I sign up for today, in fact.

Re: Yes, you are right

Thanks for clarifying your comments, I agree about the scammers.
