Had my bike for sale on Bike sales, received an email from this so called agent in England wanting to buy it for his client to send to his daughter in New Zealand  - heard about these - we were always suss on it.

They sent me a cheque for $10750 more than I wanted for my bike for freight, taxes, the agents commision etc  -  anyway I took it to the ladies i know well at the bank, after 2 mins they told me it was a dud.

I always told them I wouldn't let the bike go until the cheque cleared, he agreed - they never asked me for my address, account details, I still don't know there angle, yet.

 

Flan, I'll be wary about a Paypal payment unless you can trust the purchaser 100% as there are some dishonest people out there paying for their purchases with Paypal and then doing a chargeback through their credit card company spinning a story that it was an unauthorized purchase (stolen card), the majority of people using Paypal are honest but there are some shady characters ripping off eBay sellers (not me) this way.

Shit....who can you bloodywell trust? I banked a bank cheque the other day for $10000.00 and the barstards wouldn't let me draw on it until cleared. SAME BLOODY BANK TOO!!! (NAB) barstards!!!!

Thanks for the info Gents, we work hard for our money, I don't want some lazy Indian Fuc/.k.,'wit getting my money for nothing, So I went to the police today - too hard - to busy,      I Better make sure I stop at that stop sign this arvo though!! 
I said to them    lets go fishing - real them in - set them up, here's your chance!!!       new they wouldn't do anything and they didn't.       Truth be known they have not got the manpower or the funds to catch these crooks.
I hate theives, number one for me!

ATTENTION :



I tried contacting my client today and was informed by the wife that my client was involved in a car accident there by causing him to be out of communication. From what the wife told me, my client will be out of hospital by Saturday this weekend.



So after discussing with the agents, they made me to understand that they have no time left that they would like to proceed to Australia for the bike test-driving and confirmation before the pickup.This will give them enough time to procure all documents from the necessary authorities and offices in Australia.



On my own opinion, I am suggesting that you help us out to avoid my client paying more charges for the space booked . Please do us a favour by sending the sum of $3,500 (from your own money) to the shipping agent to enable us secure a booking space for the bike and also come over to your location for the bike confirmation. This is to enable us validate the contract with the agents and to avoid paying more charges. I am only asking you to lend us the money since my client is not available.



Attn: All funds will be wired back to you via bank-to-bank wire transfer on Saturday afternoon or latest Monday morning (23rd of March 2009). I will like you to understand that this is the only way we can hold this transaction to avoid you loosing the sale and the time you have put into this sale. I am not forcing you to lend us money and am only asking for a favour to win the sale of the bike over to my client. This will give me enough business contact and respect from my client side. Hope you understand.



PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT DETAILS TO ENABLE MY CLIENT WIRED BACK THE WHOLE MONEY ($BIKE COST 22,000 + $3,500=$25,500) TO YOU ON SATURDAY



Here again is the Shipping agent information for the transfer of the $3,500 via Western union OR Money Gram money transfer:

Farrkking Dog Lickers, what can we do -  unless I want to pay a private investigator

Sold my Softail for cold hard cash..............straight from his pocket to mine to the Credit Union. Safest way.

E-Mail them back " FUCK OFF you fucken thieving bastards " and if you ever e-mail me or my mates in Australia again I'll fucken hunt you down and deposit a 45 caliber slug in your low life head.

That should end the trnsaction

if these pricks put as much time and effort into making an honest living as they do into thinking up these scams , they'd be fuckin rich
