alonzoracine 0 #2 March 4, 2013 Had the same first e-mail, after an answer from me, he insisted about the fact that he don't want to let me care about the shipping. He told me it was a gift for his father and wanted to surprise him. ''I'll send you 850$ and I want you to help me send this money to my pick-up agent by Western Union........bla bla bla bla''!!!! Too perfect to be real! He wanted the rig anyways, quick, no inspection, he was only caring about the money transfer! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hpwatson 0 #4 March 12, 2013 Just got the exact same attempt from him trying to buy my container. He insisted on paying an extra $850 for me to forward to Western Union for his pickup agent. Not only is he a scammer but it appears he isn't very creative either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alonzoracine 0 #5 March 14, 2013 So stupid......he told my container was for his dad as a gift.............ha ha ha ha, a rig as a gift, can be true, but suspicious, so I asked him his father name, dropzone, number of jumps and some others infos! No infos from him about any dropzone or other questions I sended, but he told me.........''my father name is Brian Lewis''........ha ha ha ha ha! The buyer (scam) is Brian Patridge and his father is Brian Lewis!!! So fucking original! Funny! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
