Due to the nature of my work, I am unable to make phone calls so i prefer
the internet
Hi Kenneth
That's a bit tough. I assume you don't get a lunch break either!
What are you currently flying? I may be able to help with your purchase.

Let's see how long I can keep him going
Ha ha my mate rang me last night coz this guy Kenneth was sending him weird emails and he couldn't figure out how he managed to contact him directly rather than through seabreeze (selling a Kite).
He needed some Gen Y help, after putting in my 2 cents he rang his other mate who's a cop and was told that these nigerians have got some scam where if you send them a pay pal invoice, or give them your bank details they can track down enough of the remainding info required to get a dodgy online loan in your name.
Good times... You scumbags!!
Dude make him work for it, play dumb and string him out for weeks. also and figure out who else approached you before he did to pass on your details. So seabreeze can boot them.
'Ken' has been at it!

Thanks Damage, I was wondering how he would get my money! I'll keep him going.
Just add a note to your adverts saying:
"If you are a nigerian scammer, don't bother contacting me, I know the scam and I won't be shipping overseas no matter what your excuse is"
I don't get any replies from them anymore. Sometimes I feel a little lonely because of it though.
I had the same thing selling both my motorcycles
funniest part is when they eventually ask you for money to be sent to some random (probably them) so this random can pay you back
ludicrous
concerning that people out there fall for it
Our mate Kenneth is a huge time waster. 
Everybody in the Buy & Sell has been notified, so pretty sure there will be slim pickings for him on Seabreeze.
I'll keep him going too. See what he says when I get a better offer!!!
What a bunch of a$seh@les.
I said today that I've increased the price from $650 to $1000. I asked if he was still interested, answer yes send me paypal invoice immediately.
Feel like responding with --ck off and waste someone else's time.
Next contact I'm increasing to $1200.
Lets play a game... see how many emails you can trade with our friend kenn until he cottons on that you're just taking him for a ride.
winner gets my 2005 airush 9m Reactor. Still flys. Pick up from Wedge Island.
I've got him on a 9 email run at the moment (his emails + mine) so that can be the starting point.
I raised it to1200 from 650 and he replied you're crazy.
I'm going to ask him if he is still interested and see what happens.
I think I must be winning with 59 emails total so far (his + mine) [}:)], Boyler I'm suprised he said your crazy he was more than happy to pay $1500 when I said I would sell him my harness as well 
64 thats a fine effort can anyone top that? i'm up to about 20 or so now and still going strong
i still haven't worked out exactly how he's trying to get my money but i'm sure it will become clear soon. How was he after yours doycle?
Hey, the scam was essentially that he had 'transfered' the cost of the gear & shipping to my 'paypal account' (which I had never set up). But for security reasons the money was held invisible to my account by 'paypal' untill I sent his shipping company the money for shipping via Western Union.
hmm yes i just got to that stage, $400 is expensive shipping.
I also got a rude fake paypal email threatening legal action if i didn't pay up asap. it was quite a good fake except for the weird chinglish grammar mistakes
My brother has been getting it heaps from a CAR SALES website.
They even send a sms from an overseas number or email address that comes up with their "name" in your smart phone..
Got 4 alone yesterday. If only i could sign the boys at work up for these emails to drive them mental!
