LMFAO
I do love those fleabay scam pages, you can't click on any link except the 'email the seller' link. I wonder if it's one of those scams that expects you to enter your username and password, so that your account can be hijacked for scamming purposes? You could try mailing the seller direct and asking him wtf is going on, try this; donjamesjr33@googlemail.com ![]() edit: It isn't gonna cane your account, but it's not like the proper ebay way, you have to manually enter your email account. Not exactly done a good job on that then, has he.

I sent him a question via his advert, asking him when I can view the car, and how he expects to be paid. I just mailed him at that addy too, and when I get a response I'll check the headers to see if he really is in Scotland.
Though, any scammer worth his salt would know how to cover their tracks, and use a server that has no come backs to them. I'll let you know what he says, as and when.

I keep getting these e-mails to me saying that they'll buy my car for the asking price & not barter me down but they're in another contry at the moment & they'll need my Bank account details etc.
(scam written allover but they must think we're all natural Blondes or born yesterday?)I reply to them & say: 'That's really nice of you to offer the full asking price but i wouldn't feel right so what i'm going to do is to give you £100 cash back first instead, so you give me your Bank details first & i'll wire you up the £100 straight away fella!' ![]() Then i just sit back & giggle my ass off! ![]()

You've all heard of the email scam where someone pretends to be royalty/former president/banker from some African country, and they want you to send them your bank details so they can transfer millions into your account and you keep a percentage, right?

It made me lmfao when I first came across it ![]() From: Secretary Towogbola [secretary_in_chargeeeee@hotmail.com] Subject: TREAT AS URGENT {THIS IS NO JUNK MAIL} "EXECUTION"EXECUTION"EXECUTION"' NATIONAL CORPORATION HEADQUATERS LAGOS.

This one is among the best I have ever come across, what a great imagination.
Subject: Nigerian Astronaut Wants To Come Home Dr. Bakare Tunde Astronautics Project Manager National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) Plot 555 Misau Street PMB 437 Garki, Abuja, FCT NIGERIA Dear Mr. Sir, REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL I am Dr. Bakare Tunde, the cousin of Nigerian Astronaut, Air Force Major Abacha Tunde. He was the first African in space when he made a secret flight to the Salyut 6 space station in 1979. He was on a later Soviet spaceflight, Soyuz T-16Z to the secret Soviet military space station Salyut 8T in 1989. He was stranded there in 1990 when the Soviet Union was dissolved. His other Soviet crew members returned to earth on the Soyuz T-16Z, but his place was taken up by return cargo. There have been occasional Progrez supply flights to keep him going since that time. He is in good humor, but wants to come home. In the 14-years since he has been on the station, he has accumulated flight pay and interest amounting to almost $ 15,000,000 American Dollars. This is held in a trust at the Lagos National Savings and Trust Association. If we can obtain access to this money, we can place a down payment with the Russian Space Authorities for a Soyuz return flight to bring him back to Earth. I am told this will cost $ 3,000,000 American Dollars. In order to access the his trust fund we need your assistance. Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount to your account or subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/ or operating foreign accounts in our names. Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to offer you 20 percent of the transferred sum, while 10 percent shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external) between the parties in the course of the transaction. You will be mandated to remit the balance 70 percent to other accounts in due course. Kindly expedite action as we are behind schedule to enable us include downpayment in this financial quarter. Please acknowledge the receipt of this message via my direct number 234 (0) 9-234-2220 only. Yours Sincerely, Dr. Bakare Tunde Astronautics Project Manager tip@nasrda.gov.ng Gov.ng Www Nasrda

I've heard from the seller, I can't think why Ludders suspected fraud though. Does this sound fishy to you guys?
![]() 2000 NISSAN SKYLINE 2.6 Twin Turbo 2dr Gt-r V Spec Monday, 1 December, 2008 1:59 PM From: "James Donnovan Jr." <donjamesjr33@googlemail.com> Add sender to Contacts To: ************@yahoo.co.uk Hello and Sorry for my late response, You contact me about my car (2000 NISSAN SKYLINE 2.6 Twin Turbo 2dr Gt-r V Spec) on eBay right?Thank you for that ! You are a possible buyer for my car so i will give you some information about it. The car is in very good running condition, no damages, accidents or scratches no need repairs of course, is in perfect condition inside and outside as well the condition of the engine is perfect. I never smoke in it and i want to sell it to a serious person who will take very good care of it. The year of the car is 11.2000 and the price is 7000 GBP(with shipping included) , the technical revision has been made several weeks ago. I want this transaction to be as smooth as possible as I am caught in the middle of some very important events and have very few time at my disposal.I work for Google Corporation and I begin ed a 2 year job assignment in Madrid, Spain so i will handle the transaction from here.I only take in consideration those buyers who are really interested in buying the car,not dealers, to be sure that I don\'t spend my time with endless discussions, or pure curiosity. Please mail me back if you are still interested, and if you want more details about the car or you have any other questions, I will be glad to answer them ! Thank you for your understanding and i hope to have a good cooperation together ! Kind regards and I look forward to hear from you. James Donnovan Jr.

Lets see what he says to this;
Hi James If possible I'd like to drive the car home, it would be a lot more fun that way too, and there is no chance of it being damaged while it is being shipped. Where can I view the car? I can pay cash on the day then drive it home. regards Des

the IP I got from him relates to a webhosting company in the USA; ewok.nocdirect.com which is hosted by jaguarpc.com and registered to Greg Landis of Landis Holdings Inc. I might mail Greg Landis later on and see if he knows his servers are being used for fraudulent purposes. Yes, I really am that bored today ![]()

When I was looking at buying a GTR, I came across that scam so many times - cheap car, seller claims to have bought it while working in the UK and then taken it back home with them, and now selling it on cheap - beware, they will go to extraordinary lengths to get you to think its all above board - I emailed one guy, and after getting his response, a couple of hours later he had a mocked up HPI report sent through to me claiming the car was totally legit! He only backed off when I said id get a plane over to him to see the car and then drive it home..
