Occaisionally I start to do a deal with someone and the alarm bells ring.
They tell me to count my fingers if I deal with this person. :D
Got one like it on ebay at the moment so I'm just going to abandon the purchase as I seriously mistrust the vendor :((
bugga- I might lose me 100% rep. :oo:
Having worked within the property industry on the Gold Coast for many, many years, I have to say my digits feel positively warm and comfortable when in close proximity to spinning blades and whirring machinery! :oo: :oo: :oo:
Cheers,

:D
Already missing 2/3rds of a finger. :rolleyes:
Know what you mean, sometimes it is best to get out.
I had a similar experience some years ago, the seller seemed to be taking extraordinary lengths to cover his tracks & I was sure he was up to no good. I thought he was going to do a runner with my money.
I won the auction for some software at a ridiculous $11 & it did turn up but once I had it I realised that it had been stolen from a Tech College. :((
Don't know if you guys have seen this one but I love it. Its the P-P-Powerbook scam, have a read and move through the parts. Pretty funny, there is some swearing in the text so you have been warned.

Hilarious :2tsup:
I love it.
For those not overly sensitive, check out
www.ebolamonkeyman.com
where the same sort of strategy is used against the Nigerian 419 scammers.
It does contain r-rated language (ie worse than just swearing), so be warned.
Brilliant. Haven't we all wanted to do something like that to internet scammers!
Cheers

G'day Corbs,
I just spent the last 1/4 hour reading through the P/Book scam and what a beauty. :2tsup:
Echidna, if you think the guys out to rip you off, then bugger the 100% rep points with eBay.
Thanks Waldo thats just what I did.Quote:
