I'll be parcelling it from Melbourne and the weight of it is app 1.6 kgs. Could you kindly provide me with the exact details of where & whom to send the parcel to please. Also, wrt the payment could you pls let me know what mode you prefer, because if you choose to send it via Western Union, I believe AusPost are agents for it and I guess you can request for payment on parcel option. Please let me know so that I can provide you with my details for payment.

I wonder what http://www.bidpay.com or http://www.westernunion.com are doing about this? I mean seriously how can one send an e-mail claiming to be from one of these two companies and these two companies DO NOT do anything? Way to go my friend... |

Payment Services are in it for the fees they charge you to send money, they wont do anything if it will cost them money in lost fees by warning people. GREEDY is what I call it. Western Union has been approached by many of us and asked nicely to help warn people before someone loses their whole life savings and they refuse to even put up a simple sign at the counters they operate warning of Nigerian scams such as these. |

Hi me too a few days ago... a friend googled fragments of his email - the last line was extremely sus - and came with this post... So would anyone be willing to turn the tables on this guy? If theres a "Private" area we can talk to take things further it would be cool just incase that asswipe gets this when he googles it;) |

hop on over to http://www.419eater.com and see if you can round up a baiter to mess with the poor boy a bit, there really isnt a way to get these people apprehended, the best you can do is have someone play some good mind games with them. |

Hey KarynSolo, The link doesnt work... is it meant to be 419eater.com? I was thinking of doing something similar to the ambitious PowerPC prank: http://www.zug.com/pranks/powerbook/index.html |

watch out for a person in yahoo under autos. his email is martinsders@gmail. he has an e-mail address from Bidpay and he sends it out and it looks real. if you try to by a car and they want to use bidpay unless the car is under $1000.00 the e-mail is a FAKE. |

His real name might be Duncan Ferguson or Martin Sanders and he lives in London. |

Shoot I bought a Lunch Truck online once , even flew hubby from GA to Maryland to drive the thing home. Seller was so nice as to give it to us stocked with sodas and snacks, left over from his divorce party a day earlier. LOL he decided to use the truck one last time before we picked it up. Was a good deal all the way around, not all sellers online are bad, you just have to be careful and never send them money using services that offer NO protection if you get scammed. |
