Anyone know much about paypal,as i dont, I do have an account,but have hardly used it,well iam selling my zed and dropped the price on pistonheads and gumtree tonight,and within half an hour i get a bloke wanting to put the money straight in my account without looking at the car,he just wants to ship the car.The car has been up for sale for a couple of months now and this is a bit too good too be true.

 

any thoughts

You only give him the email for the account to pay money into, ie the mail account you set up in paypal to accept payments for eg: riobenson@zedmail.co.uk

 

No one can get into your account without a password so should be ok. You dont give anymore info that that though. The problem with receiving larg payments through paypal are the fees. You need to add 4% to the total if he wants to pay by paypal. If he is serious, he wont have a problem doing it. HTH

Thanks groover,he did say he would pay the fees,but sinse i posted this i have found out that he is in Nigeria.

Lol, dont bother then.

nigera..one of my m8s nearly had dealings with a couple from nigera recently

he was going to get a japanese akita from them but they wanted money upfront without him going to see the dog first and they wanted the money through paypal

probably nt the same people but id maybe be a bit weary of them

as they say on the real hussle "if it seems to good to be true it usually is"

No,lol i dont want spears thrown at my zed.:laugh:

good choice

No,lol i dont want spears thrown at my zed.:laugh:

well ok,apart from that one,lol

Give it a miss mate. Large amounts are usually frozen by Paypal anyways till they investigate. Give him dogs abuse back, he is a scammer.

 

Alan..........

Personally I wouldnt use paypal as what happens when he gets the car, raises a dispute with paypal, so you loose the car, loose your money and end up with nothing.

second that..i would avoid m8

sod law ull prolly get shafted then some1 genuine will want to buy it the nxt day

Yep you are all right,i just googled his email address and he is a scammer.I have just reported him.

 

thanks for the replies

 

nigel

nice one hopefully they put a stop to him/her

but its quite easy to change your internet iI.D

just glad you didnt lose money..time and your zed

i personally would never use paypal for anything over £500 !
