Right my mate has a car for sale he gets a phone call from this guy could barley speak english claming he is irish saying he wants the car & he will pay to get it shipped & he has never even seen the car paying the asking price of £4000...So This morning a bankers draft turned up in the post for Wait for it £8000 £4000 more than the asking price..claming that he has sent extra cash to secure the sale for the car asking to pay the extra cash back asap through western union......& mean we stay about 40 mins away from the sea cat thats direct to ireland so how thick does this cvnt think we are as it would take a few hours on a boat trip & we could meet him....Ive told him to hand it in to the local police staion with the guys details

 

Fook coont, Wounder how many people still fall for this scam

 

Try and pay it in?

 

blimey they have progressed from emails now then

 

I know chancers
The thing is he had another E mail virtually the same of another guy trying it again....

 

i would

 

Its a sat morning most banks are closed i will tell him to

 

go to one of them places that cash anything and take a bit for doing so

 

My mate knows its a scam but he says the qualitly of the draft is very good hold it up its got water marks bits of silver throught it the lot...prob a genuine draft thats been stolen

 

still try and pay it in, if it clears no questions withdraw and spend, if anyone comes asking questions say someone sent it to ya to pay for the car but never turned up to collect! tell em you tried to contact him but had no reply!!!!

let em prove otherwise!!!

 

If you pay it in then what will happen is it will APPEAR to have cleared, and then at a later date will bounce, this is the whole issue with how this scam works in the first place.

Use it next time you go for a shit to wipe your arse on as its the only thing its any use for.

 

Pay it in if you are restrained enough not to spend the money... Maybe you will get some interest off it!
