    Thanks for your response.I hope it in good condition, and there won't be any cause of disappointment if i purchase it from you? I want to buy it for my son as a birthday gift and I am ready to pay the asking price. I'm an Ocean Engineer and am currently on sea right now which is strictly no calls.My Mode of payment is PayPal because i don't have access to my bank account online, but i have it attached to my PayPal account. Since I'm requesting this transaction to be done via PayPal, I will be responsible for all the Paypal fees/charges on this transaction, if you don't have an account with paypal, it's pretty easy, safe and secure to open one. Just log on to www.paypal.com. I hope we can make this transaction as fast as possible. Less I forgot, I have a Mover that will come for it once payment is cleared in your paypal account and they will be handling it for me, as I look forward to hearing from you with your paypal information as requested below.

    I cant believe people would still fall for this.

    There is a psychological reason behind why these scams are written that way. Essentially, they only want the dumbest people falling for it. 

    Scammers could write brilliant scams, but they'd have anyone with half a brain questioning the key components of the scam, waste time going back n forth only to have people pull the pin when they arent satisfied the person isnt a scammer.

    The other method, is to write basically the most obvious scam and you either have people recognise its a scam instantly and dismiss it, or the people that would fall for it, fall for it anyway, and your good to go. No need for the scammers to waste time on every single person trying to convince them its not a scam. 

    Smart numbers game.

    how clever would the scammer be if they scammed a scammer, films it, puts it on utube and then makes an app, offers it out there for a free period and gets all your details
    that would reduce his competition and get your details, there are some smart people out there

    Australians lost a massive amonuts to scams in the last 12 months.

    We need to educate those at risk.

    Youve got to be careful with them but. I got a call from some Indian cunt. He said he worked for Microsoft and he was going to speed up my computer. He told me to turn on my computer and press all these buttons. I told him I was doing it but I was lying on the couch stringing him along. After about ten minutes  I was getting bored so I told him to fuck off. I didnt hold back.
    He ended up screaming down the phone at me calling me a white cunt. I dont know where he learned this foul language . (possibly me)
    I couldnt stop laughing when he said that and then he said I laughed like a white donkey! I have never been so offended in my life.
    I hung up on the cunt and thought that was the end of it but the vindictive cunt started phoning me twice a day with a blocked number. It went on for two months until I couldnt handle it any more and had to get a new phone number.

    When he came out with the white donkey comment, you could have responded that you maybe agreed  because you were hung like one as well.

    This guy is very clever how he scams the scammers and then deletes all their files, previous vids he loads viruses into their systems, switches on their web cams, hooks into their office security cams....hes a bit annoying but clever computer guy.
