Bike Scam

Wee, got a response:

You will receive payment instructions from trader publishing. They offer protection for both buyer and the seller. When I was living in states I was a reputable power seller. I am a serious seller. I don't understand you have nothing to lose here. You will receive the bike and inspect it yourself. After the inspection period ends I will receive the money in cash from trader publishing representative here in UK. I don't have the photos you requested. I didn't pictured the bike when it was picked up. Can you please send me your full name and exact delivery address so I can start transaction ? The bike will be insured for the total amount that we are dealing so there is nothing wrong that can happen.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Regards,
Robert

I need a dummy name and address!
 
:Popcorn

This is getting interesting. Go get 'em, Jeff! :laughing

edit: Keep telling them that you have the money. That you will wire the money. Act eager to give them the money. Money. :2cents

Done.

Alright, no worries on my end then Robert. Just to let you know, I'm committed to purchasing this bike because its been damn near impossible to find that exact model out here in California. Here is my info for delivery:

Dewey N. Howe
15 Shippee Rd
Oroville, CA 95965-9297

Just call me "D" though. I have the entire $4800 sitting in my bank account; so I'm just waiting for the payment process to begin. Is it possible to send me an escrow agreement from the Trader Publishing company indicating their account number so I can wire transfer the money directly from my checking account? As far as the cover goes for the bike, is that an additional cost? I can easily put in another $200 if you'd like to cover any other costs (insurance, shipping, etc.). Thanks

Regards,

D.

 
I hope the email you're using doesn't list your name as "Jeff."
 
You need to change your screen name to Just D after this.
If he asks for your account info, give him:
Bank Name BANK OF AMERICA N.A.
Routing Number 011 500 337
Account Number 3825 968 7226637 (Fuck you Scammer)
