Scam??

have had many scammers while trying to sell my hurricane and at one point had some dutch girl trying to buy my boat as well as 2 others at the same time-worthwhile asking other people on boats and outboards site if they're having easy offers as I think they just go down the list, percentages game, some body'll do it some time if they're desparate enough. 

hey Groupie bet Adams didn't call you, if he did can you sell him my hurricane thanks

P.S. Hurricane 429 for sale

Looks like I´ve got another one. Guy called Adams from West Germany, wants to give me 8000 via western union.

Just by coincidence guess where I am today....... West Germany, so I've given him my office number.

What are the odds he doesn't call

I just thought if the scammers used western union as a way of getting you to send money to them, it was a way of transferring loot without recourse,if so  they would bolster their way out of using it to send to you.

Was really just another way of sorting wheat frum chaff , but these scams are pretty obvious unless you are an eternal optimist !

As a matter of interest, a scammer will never want the goods themselves.

They can't get rid of a racing dinghy for anything like a worthwile amount of money if they can't advertise it... even if they knew what it was.

I was quite impressed though when i got one of these Nigerian Princes actually hand writing a letter to me in person, explaining their difficulties, and if i was able to help them by sending a bit of money to release their huge stack of cash that was sitting in switzerland, they'd repay me hundred-fold or something along those lines.

It went straight into the rubbish bin of course, but still i was surprised somebody had bothered to hand write two pages rather than copy and paste an email.
