Recently had an enquiry from [email protected] to purchase a board I have for sale on Seabreeze . He was claiming to be working overseas but wanted to purchase board prior to returning home. After agreeing on the price, said buyer was issued with a paypal invoice.
To cut a long story short, paypal return form was a Fake, claiming that an additional sum of money had been sent to our account and that we had to foreward this too a Western Union Account.
The communication to us was almost identical to a previous entry on this site Beware of scammer 13.04.2012. So the scammer is still trying.

If it smells fishy it most likely is.....

Number one rule with paypal, If someone sends you a link to pay for something. Never, Never click on the link to finalize your transaction. PayPal is safe but always go directly into the paypal website then log into your account and finalize any payment requests, Any way else and your asking for trouble.

I had an SMS from the same dude. I asked him to give me a call, still waiting!

Scumbag!!

guy ,

i hope you keep all Ur email and text and report them to the police

get them to send you email direct to you're personal account ( even if you set up 2nd account)

There are basic steps to find the person :

1. Get the email headers, find the IP adress , find them - block them

or just forward the email to the police ( don't copy any paste the text ) you need the information attached within the email


all this information can be useful and stop any future people from getting scam

i did this a few year ago , I got a very nice email from NZ police 12 months ago saying that the info i gave them solved a 3 million fraud case

most the people who scam aslo do thing like , Bank scam , drug, abduction

and the 1 phone call or email they send you could be the slip up that put them away



even if they cant catch the person , they will block where the email are send from.


this is the same reason why we now get less spam and pop from places like Russia
