My mate and i have emailed him and here is a copy of the email
we are going to wind him up a bit...
we are awaiting his reply :) :) :)

(he keeps logging on with different logons)

Him to us
Hello there,

I am glad that you are interested in my bike. First of all I have to tell
you that I am located in Athens, Greece and I’ll ship my bike from here and I'll cover the fees for the ship and inssurance to your home adress.
The bike will arrive to your door in 5 days tops.
The final price is 2800 GBP.
For payment, I’ll like to use an eBay service, so we’ll be both protected.

Please let me know your thoughts.
Best Regards,

Hi Hewitt,
So are you telling me that I can buy your 2002 Goldwing trike for 2800GBP? Could you supply me with photographs of the Trike, inc. registration number, and log book.
If this is correct, then I will fly out to look at the trike and documentation next week.
I also would like to use an escrow agency for payment.
Please could you supply your address so I can book the flight and inform the escrow people of my intentions.
Thanks.

There are a few like this on e-bay, some of them say '' Approved buyers only'' which basically means you have to pay first to be a bidder etc. Only last week there was a custom softail ( and Im talking £20 grand plus value) on buy it now for £5000 meant to be in the UK but when you looked at the pics closely they where very well done, all the cars n trucks in the background had US plates etc etc.
Still there's a sucker born every minute so someone will fall for it.

[blackhack]

there's another one now...
only done 7 (yes seven) miles...ThinkS...Time for a little mail-bomb programe iv'e got in my toybox to be put to use...hmmmm.....

[blackhack]

Ive e-mailed him also, and sent this...


hi dave, if you can let me know where to send a money order, i'd like to buy the trike.
if you have any particular preference for payment, just let me know.

if your willing to deal, lets deal.......

Now the fun starts.....Mail bomb at the ready....he he
Thousands of e-mails to his e-mail box..(from a throwaway e-mail address of course) lets see if he can answer his e-mails then.............

something else to think about...the trikes supposedly in greece, but his e-mail address is located in spain...???

[Lone-Wolf]

there's another one now...

Wotcha.

On Ebay ?
I can't see it. . . . . there again, that's nowt new.

nah mate...you wont see it as they're only up on a 24 hour auction
its a scam to relieve you of your hard earned....
you see it...you bid via e-mail to get "autherised"...then they pull the ad down from ebay before the 24 hours are up....

ebays none the wiser....the scammers got your e-mail address...and (if your daft enough) your cash.....


scum...pure scum, these bastards

[blackhack]

the next mail in what promises to be a long drawn out saga....

him to me.....
Hi,

Please let me know your eBay user ID and I'll let you know the payment details..

Regards,

he's obviously got a lot of replies to the two auctions as he's unsure of who i am


me to him.....
blackhack to David
More options 8:54am (0 minutes ago)

you dont need my ebay details, as the auction has now finished, and
its nothing to do with them now...

can you let me know how much extra it will cost me for the shipping,
import tax, etc, so that i can arrange to send you a money order or
whatever fund transfer that you require.....

always offer to give them more than they asked for in the first place. (They then think your REALLY stupid)

[blackhack]

Isnt it fun to waste his time like this.........

From him.......


Hi,

Shipping will be done via FedEx and it will take no more then 6
days.I have a friend at fedex who will manage me a low price shipping
and I assumed that it is from me to pay for shipping it.When I will
shipp it,I will declare it as a gift so that you will pay no cusoms when
you will receive it and for this it will be delivered directly to your
address.
I'll ned your eBay user ID to register our deal to eBay Square Trade and they will intermediate our deal to be both safe!!




and my reply...............


Dave, I've got a better Idea....Why dont I just pop over to Athens and
pick it up from you...I could then pay you in cash, then just ride
it home.
What do you think??
That way you dont need to worry about shipping, and it would save you
a bit of money??

On Tue, 2 Nov 2004 12:48:40 +0100 (CET), David Gledhill


this is going to be fun......

[100%Pat]

why dont you tell him about your brother who is in the mob who will be coming with you to pick it up and who's money it is really and would it be okay if you laundered just a bit?

[blackhack]

I'll wait on the next e-mail from him, then mention that I've got to pick up some guns and explosives for "the cause" while im over there.

The question is, Just how far I can take it.....

[BikerGran]

I saw an ad on Ebay for a bike that was sposed to be in Britain but was obviously USA - reported it to ebay and it disappeared very quickly!

[100%Pat]

Oh you have to keep it going as long as possible, I want to read about this bloke really squirming, its probs an organised gang, so let them think they are really playing with the big boys this time... :D

[krammer]

I'll wait on the next e-mail from him, then mention that I've got to pick up some guns and explosives for "the cause" while im over there.

The question is, Just how far I can take it..... as far as you possibly can mate. i do find it incredible though that some people can be so gullible as to give out financial details to a complete stranger.

OK the story so far

Hi Mark,
For the payment, I am a seller affiliated with eBay-Square Trade.
Square Tade will guarantee this transaction between us. They will
intermediate our transaction so we are both protected.
If you have any quesations, you can ask them at: support@squaretrade-motors.net
Now, this is my father's bike. He had a stroke twoo weeks ago.
This was a presentations bike in a showroom in Athens. A friend of mine who was working there told me about it and so I could buy it.
I took this bike for those dealers because it was at a very good at price and very good looking
But, because of the illness, my father didn’t register and his illness forces us to sell the biek and use the money for his operations.
Please let me know your thoughts.

Hi Hewitt,
Thank you for the photographs. Please can you confirm the total price in GBP.
Also why are you not selling the trike in Greece?
I will buy if you can bring the trike to the U.K. I will meet you at any port here, and pay in cash, this way we both get what we want, and the deal can be done with you receiving the money and me getting the trike.
I cannot send any moneys until I see the trike, and can take it away the same day, as you can appreciate there are to many scams and dodgy deals for me to do this any other way.
Regards,
Mark


HIM
I think yoy are a honest person so i will trust you.
look what i have in mined:
You'll go to one of Western Union offices and when you'll wire the money, for the RECEIVER you'll not use my name . Use the name at one of your friends or even your wife's name. This way you'll be sure that your money will be still in your possession, in UK.
After this you'll email Square Trade the details about the transaction, so they can verify the money exist. Immediatley they confirm me that the money exist I'll ship you the bike. They will be my witness.
When you'll receive the bike and see that everything is OK, you'll change the RECEIVER name with mine and confirm to Square Trade the delivery.
More safe and fast than this way i really don't know.
Please email me your decision.

Many Thanks.



US
Hi Hewitt,
As you've been honest with me and you are prepared to trust me, I feel that I can trust you.....please give me your bank name, sort code, and account number, I will wire you the money directly into your account.
I'll send £3000 to help cover shipping costs.
Regards.


HIM
Mark, i really apreciate what you want to do.
But i insist to make the transaction how i just suggest you. I want you to be calm till the transaction will be complet.
So, put the money to your name friend or wife at Western Union and email the details to Square Trade.
You confirmed me you are honest and i only want to see that you have the money available for the bike.
Now, if you want to save some more money, you can say at Western Union that the amount is for a friend and not for closing a deal. This way
the fees will be much smaller :)
Thank you very much for your intentions and hope to enjoy the bike.
Many Thanks!

Hi Hewitt,
I've finally managed to contact a good friend in Greece, I've wired money to him, his name is Macs Dratsab. his address is 23 Konstantioupoieos Attiki It is just off the E75.
He will collect the trike from you and pay cash, when you inform him of the currency of your choice.
So if you could send me your full address, he will be there by Wednesday afternoon.
Regards.


HIM
Mark,
Please let me know if you wire the money by Weatern to him.
If it's so, please contact Sqaure Trade, give them the details so they can verify, and then I will imediatly contact your friend.
Thanks!

Yoda,
The rimlicker I'm "dealing" with is called David Gledhill.
I notice that your punter is called something else ??
Is it the same twat ?? or another one of the same group of conmen

And another thing, if its his father's "bike" , why did he have to take it from the dealers??

it gets wierder and wierder all the time....

we have had two seperate contacts with this guy, i reckon it is one guy with multiple logon's and Yahoo email addresses.

(if only we could get hold of a stolen banker cheque then we could try the reverse (we send you 10k you send me 7k) scam :)

[blackhack]

Can you send me his e-mail address that your using???

I'm about to take it up a notch....
I've got some "other" e-mail addresses of my own that I use for "other" things....he he
I'll send him a mail asking if he's recieved the money transfer from "big morag" and wait to see the reply........

If there's more than one person involved, they'll think that the other one's doing the dirty on them by getting a mark to pay up, without letting the other one know.

[Doro]

so where does square trade fit into all this?

I see the site is down.

suggest you keep all evidence and let the fraud squad know because they actually take this stuff seriously, more seriously than damage to people sadly

why is it that you see people getting longer sentances for fraud or other financial crimes than for GBH, attempted murder, rape etc etc

sad innit

[blackhack]

Just sent this from Big Morag........

Well then,
Thats the money transfer sent as your instructions.
you should be able to collect it anytime from close of business today.
I cant believe its only costing me £3,500.00 and thats to include the transportation costs.

Its been a pleasure doing business with you.
I'll just sit back and wait for the delivery

Yours in gratitude Morag.



Lets see what kind of reply I get from this one.......

[Friar Tuck]

I've posted this else where, but will repeat. Had a Spam email today offering part-time work using the PC for transacting Bank Requests or some such thing. Payment being something like 10% of the value of the transfer! Contact WesternUnion.com and a snailmail address in the USA.

Wonder if it's worth contacting them and seeing how they work the scam?
