I still can't believe people actually fall for these scams

As I was often told. If a deal seems too good to be true, it often is


Hope they throw the book at the pikey bastards

was in the papers over the weekend..

they would only deal via western union money transfer and then not send on the goods, due to the fact they never had them in the first place..

its not just a car scam, they was doing it will all sorts of stuff

They were contacting bidders who had not won the item.
(ie i guess they were bidding themselves to ensure no one could win the auction or putting a massive reserve on)

then saying they could have it / another identical by dealing directly with them

As said Western Union transfers & NO delivery

But i think it was Western Union who caught them wasnt it
