Post by arty » 2006-09-16 22:14

话说在craigslist上卖沙发,遇到这么一位 :roll:

mail #1询问了沙发的情况,告诉他是个旧沙发,我们不是第一任owner,告诉他具体尺寸和缺陷

mail #2
Hello ,
Thanks for your mail, i will like you to know that my form of payment is through a Money Order or Cashier Cheque..Yeah the money order or the check will be in us dollars and I have my private shipper who will be at your location to pick up the item.I really do appreciate it, Well Everything sounds well and I guess that the {large sofa/couch - $150} is in excellent condition and I am okay with the price $150 and I will be willing to offer you $250 for it. So, I would want you to keep all other buyer's off and also delete the advert from the website. Concerning payment my client will issue you a Money Order or Cashier Cheque, since I don't have the funds in your currency. For convenient and easy transaction, I have a liable shipping agent who'd be responsible for the Pick up as soon as you receive payment for the {large sofa/couch - $150} .I will therefore need the following information of yours to forward my client before he sends the Money
Order or Cashier Cheque.
NAME IN FULL........
ADDRESS IN FULL....

COUNTRY..........

CELL/OFFICE/HOME PHONE NUMBER.
I await your soonest reply.

mail #4傻猪回复了我们的住址信息给他以便他取沙发于是他又写如下不可思议的邮件

Thanks for the reply and the information you sent.I want you to take the Advert from the Website.Concerning payment I have just called my Client now and he has said he will Issue out a Money Order or cashier cheque of $2850 to your contact address in which you will remove the asking price $250 after cashing it at your Bank, Since it will be a Money Order or cashier cheque and an extra $100 for your running around and then send the balance to the shipper Via western union money transfer so that he will use for all his flight charges and for the insurance of the shipment when being shipped and also I would want you to do this for me because the shipper also has some other shipments to do for me?in the state. I hope I can trust you on this? The information of the shipper will probably be sent alongside the check or when he is been assigns by his company. I will notify you if he has sent it. Looking forward to completing this transaction with you. Get back to me as soon as possible Note: All western union charges and bank fee for cashing must be deducted from the shipping funds..

if i rememebered correctly, there's a raging western union scam going on now, so much so that ebay is no longer allowing it. even if there weren't, this is clearly not normal. just block his email and avoid further contact.
Now that happy moment between the time the lie is told and when it is found out.

a typical scam, usually from oversea;
the money order is a fake one, you will lose the amount paid to the shipper;

just ignore it.

我当年卖cube电脑的时候也碰到这么一位,当时这种骗人方式还不太流行,差点就运去法国,还好有个朋友买了。那个money order 是假的,问题是银行cash it要花时间(oversea),两三个星期以后回来告诉你钱要从你账户扣回的时候,你的东西和收货人已经不见了。
