sounds like a crowd that kept ringing us about the "trip around the world we had won" :lol:. the only detail that was needed to "verify the prize" was a credit card number. the strange thing was that despite being numerously told to fook off they kept calling...
say you gave them your paypal email. what could they achieve? heard about your one that strung them along and actually "coned them" :lol:
 
i strung 2 on for a couple of weeks last month. It was good craic. I kept getting them to deposit small amounts of money into my paypal account. I tied up their funds in it for a good 3 weeks before i cancelled the transactions and passed all details onto to paypal
 
what good does it do them to know your paypal account? sure they can't take any money from you or anything? :ponder2:
or am i being really naive here??!!
 
Exact same email got sent to my brother when he was selling a bike on Done deal said that he was in the navey and was buying it for his da Wankers

Hello Adrian,

There are a good few ways to scam you with this scam :doh:

Firstly they can get stolen credit card details to place a payment into your account.

This will normally come in the form of a payment for the Courier Car Collection service as in the original mail above. Low & behold it will be an overpayment for the courier service and you will be asked to pay just SOME of the money to a different account than you received the payment from. Some people do this and then have to deal with pay-pal with regards to receiving monies from a stolen credit card.

There are many variations to this scam, but in general it is a scam based on the prospective purchaser making you think you are gaining money with no risk (as you think the money you received is now in your account for good)

They then scam you into giving some of the money back into a different bank account / pay-pal account. As some people do not see the risk they make the payment only to realise later the money they received was either stolen or never really deposited.

It is also done on bogus cheques etc :doh:

I had great fun with a person trying to pull this scam with me back in 2006 :thumbsup:

They can be persistent, but as above it can be great to string them along. The scam in that case was a cheque which would have taken weeks to clear :lol:

Cheers,

Michael
 
Thanks Michael. That is really sneaky. I would never give details to anyone anyway but I often wondered what good it would do these people to have them. I suppose even if they only tricked 1 in 100 people, it would be worth their while.

I won't be that 1 though. :thumbsup:

Thanks again,
A.
 
I cant work out how the scam was going to work in this one, would they not have to pay the price of car before the transport??? I know its a scam, just interested to know what they were planning on doing in this set up
 
read your add on carzone and have a bit of a different question. what is the story with the carbon roof? did you have it retrofitted?

Its carbon vinyl wrap :thumbsup:
 
As Robbie said, its a vinyl wrap, looks the part but can be removed easily if required
I've edited the text there so as not to confuse
