Hi all please beware there is someone out there trying to scam people i have had this happen twice now i am trying to sell a board and they want me to pay $810 for private courier before i can get the money for the board this is the email i got last


Thanks for the swift response...I am willing to buy the Falcon now and i will like to know the present condition..But due to the nature of my job and location...i will not be able to come for inspection,am a very busy type as i work long hours everyday,i have gone through your advertisement and i am satisfied with it.

As for the payment..i will be paying you via the fastest and secure way to pay online(PayPal).

I have a private courier agent that will come for the pick up after the payment have been made ...so no shipping included.

You can now send me your PayPal email so i can pay in right away and also include your address in your reply.If you don't have a paypal account, you can easily set up one...log on to www.paypal.com.au and sign up. its very easy.I await your reply asap.


Then you get sent a Fake Paypal Receipt.

I really hope no-one gets stuck by this idiots.


Take care al

Yea I know I had the same on the weekend claiming he was too busy to look at the board but his son had just graduated from university... He was also willing to pay me $3850 for a secong hand board and also asked if I could pay the shipping and that the payment from paypal was pendng and that as soon as I gave them the shipping receipt I would be credited the money
the email adress is HarryKay@hotmail just so you don't get nailed by em... If you google paypal moneytransfer scam it comes up with other people that hav actually been nailed by these guys
