Almost got scammed by non other than [email protected].

Be aware of this guy he isn’t the smartest scammer but if you don’t do your research he can take you for a lot.

You must be new.

If they want to send you money without seeing the item = 100% scam, or if they want to pay and send their driver = 100% scam.
 
Fake PayPal site. Haven't used them for ages. They kept on sending messages that my account would be closed.
 
Gotta feel bad for this scammer, his internet banking does not work, he aint got no id, his cell does not work, he is not even onshore so technically he aint got no bank branch.

Atleast he has Paypal...
 
Guessing fake PayPal link? Does real PayPal have a thing like clearance or is there any reason why the real one shouldn't be used?
 
I tend to play along with them. Have them send me the fake payment email, then I send them a fake waybill.

If they want to send a driver I use the address of the local police station.

Not scam related: was once selling something of very high value and I was offered a really really low price on Gumtree. The offer was so laughable that it actually annoyed me. I agreed to his offer and told him we could meet up. I've sent him the address of cape town's comedy club. Needles to say, I never met up with him, and he was quite pissed once he arrived and understood what was happening.
