SELLER BEWARE THERE'S A SCAMMER OUT THERE

You guys sent out a Moneygram check to Nigeria? How about you sell me one of your Ferraris and I will send you a check for more than your ask since I already have it made out for that amount. When you get the check you can send me the Ferrari and the difference in a MoneyGram check?

 

Yes understood, I feel bad for you - tons of scammers out there and Paypal backed by a credit card is probably the only safe way to go.

 

I just sent a Western Union for $3,000 to a Nigerian Barrister after winning THE INTERNET LOTTERY. The $3,000 is for processing fees so they can release my $300,000,000 United States Dollars. I can't wait to purchase a 288GTO and Enzo! YEAH BABY!

 

Thank you for the warning.

 

That was funny 16 years ago, but now that it has been repeated infinitum....no longer.

 

When posting photos, always use a watermark.

 

Kind of like those guys who say their name is something clever like Hugh G Rection?

 

Exactly!!

 

Thanks for taking the time to alert everyone here.

 

If we don't stick together, then Fchat will have other scammers!

 

Thanks for the info.

 

No matter how smart these guys get, their ad and their requests give them away. Not saying I could not be fooled but I always offer to give them cash next day when I fly their to pick up my items.
All of a sudden they disappear. Funny hey ?

Glad you were able to act fast on him.

 

I won't buy something online unless I can use PayPal. Even on this site, if the seller won't accept PayPal I'm not interested.

 

And I, as a side note, am not interested, if a seller requests PayPal and does not accept other trustful methods of payment (credit card or wire tansfer, e.g.).

Cheers, Bernhard

 

Wasn't trying to be funny, just pointing out that things like this have been around since the start of the Internet, so by now when someone says "Money Gram" or "Western Union" or is asking payment to be sent to Nigeria, you can probably guarantee the deal is a scam.

And, the proper Latin usage is "ad infinitum"

 

It's too bad that a few bums ruin it for the rest of us.

 

Kronos Composites - also Beware !
nickname on Fchat is Kronos , he has i think all parts you want, from F40 LM parts to La Ferrari FXX-K , if you want part from Nasa Shuttle , he will make it for you .

on other forums screwed people , i am hopefulyy returned my 3k$ , i was very lucky.

 

I filed a claim with IC3 about a Ferrari that was for sale years ago with the story of the "recently divorced wife that wanted to get rid of her ex cheating husband Ferrari" and I gave all the information I could to the FBI (IC3) long story short, they did pursue the guy and put him 5 years in prison, I believe the guy had a history of wrongdoings.
So they do not take those IC3 claims lightly.

 

I had a friend who fell for a 'Nigerian' scam once. He was literally planning his trip over there to collect his 'inheritance'...!! It took some serious counseling to finally convince him that he didn't have a long lost uncle who had left him a fortune in a diamond mine in deepest darkest Africa

 

My wife's non- profit organization's bank account has been hacked at least three times with cellphones being bought and delivered locally and tracked down. ($300 withdrawn etc. PayPal etc. ) PayPal reimbursement weeks later.

The local assistant DA has told sheriffs and police dept not even to bring these crimes to their attention-- not interested.
