I used to do the same thing with tele marketing guys. Used to have a little bet with myself how long I could keep them on the ph. My favorite was trying to sell them something.... Consignment of 2000 analogue tv's, bottled water, solar stoves etc etc. don't get anymore calls these days tho :-(

Everybody in the Buy&Sell has been notified... :-) Safely ignore this scammer.

New precedent, he was located in Germany .. most unusual.

I did get another email saying that he had other things to post to WA, where he said he lived, and please help him out with this kite. I replied letting him know I could ship it cheaper for him when he gets back from Germany, I have not got any replies since. Better luck next time.

Working for a living sucks, I need a legal scam.

Accepting donations so I can not work, just kite, shag, snowboard and ride bikes.

Laughs.
