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 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 !

Nope. WU allows the clawback of the cash very easily, you end up having something paid for (that is easy to re-sell like phones, PC's etc) via WU, and then a few weeks later the money gets taken back. Avoid WU at all costs. |

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 |

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
P.S. Hurricane 429 for sale |

go on you know it makes sense

I've just had one of these guys say they want my old British Moth. I'm at the point where I just want rid of the boat to free up some space and i'm looking for someone to take it away for free. What have I got to lose??
