i am sure there are some guys here who hunt these guys as a living...

Hi Sandor,

I have had a lot of these in the past. Simply put, it is a scam.

Davie

yes he is jusr persisting and now its time to warn more people who could fall for it..

If you have Virtual Terminal setup on paypal, take the card number and input the sale.

But wait at least 48 hrs to ship.
You will know within 24hrs if it's a fraudulent card

Yup happened to me as well. wants to buy OS engines from me here in South Africa but he lives in Singapore. Buy them there.

Had a doctor phone me up one day from spain, checked the details with bank and belonged to a guy in USA.

Otherwise here is another good one.

People send you a mail and say that they have millions of dollars which they have inherited and need someone to help them get it. They need $200.00 to send you all the paper work in order to get the money, however the $200.00 cannot be deducted from the money in the bank. For laughs we called the guy up and when we told him that bank does not exist he became all angry and threatend us. Hell he does not have my adress so how can he get me

He then said i must meet him at the so called bank and we will sort it. after that i put the phone down and proceeded with our BBQ.

HAHA these guys are a joke.

SO YES IT IS A SCAM!!![:@]

Here some month ago I received a similar email, but in my case I enjoyed myself during some days playing with scammer, he sent me 4 different card numbers.

These scammers are basically in Indonesia, On your particular scammer, you have:

"Received: from 205.subnet125-163-248.speedy.telkom.net.id (HELO server) ([email protected]@125.163.248.205) "

.speedy.telkom.net.id IS indonesia.

And remember that google is your friend, a quick search for the email of your scammer give:

Gaspar

He must be doing the rounds as I got a email from him on 2-2-2008,
lucky I didn't bother but I only deal with in Australia.

Most people only want info on one or two things but this guy wanted to buy a whole shop which
made me think it was a scamer.

cheers Pete

HAHA that is same mail i got.

Get these mails weekly.... Any email where they are asking for generic hobby items, not something specific off your site is typically a SCAM...

Got many of those also...

Some of them don't even ask for model items, just "I have found your website and wish to buy some goods. I want to know if you accept visa and will ship to singapore..." So they visited our site and made an immediate decision to buy a few jet turbine engines, maybe a turboprop or two? Somehow, I don't think so!
Press "delete"...

But some people must fall for it, otherwise the scammers wouldn't continue.
