[quote name='bigd1' timestamp='1396100158' post='2409942'] I don't understand why you think this is a scam. The person is offering full asking price, paying your Paypal fees and when money has cleared will send somebody to collect item.................... what is the problem ?? Paypal insures your transaction, They might not be English, but is that a reason to not sell to them ? [/quote] I would never agree to anything that contained a 'link' to paypal. The link will take you to a page that looks like paypal but it isn't. When you put in your details the scammers then have them and direct access to your bank account and whatever back up resources you have. Here's the reply I received from paypal after reporting the attempted fraud - [size=3]Hello duncan mitchell,[/size] [size=3]Thanks for forwarding that suspicious-looking email. You're right - it was a phishing attempt, and we're working on stopping the fraud. By reporting the problem, you've made a difference!

I cant help thinking - why would an oceanographer want a bass combo? But more to the point - why would somebody pretend to be one!

I got this reply to an ad for a Redsub combo that I have on Gumtree and North West Bands. Its also on here but you lads are too nice to try this one. Call me paranoid but I think this is a scam! If I'm wrong I will buy a hat and eat it. It was from a [email protected]. This is the reply I got - Thank you for getting back to me. Am really satisfied in buying your AD.I'm ready to pay your asking price £275 including the PayPal transfer charges,How i wish i could come to inspect this item but currently i'm working away from the country... But the issue is i am an oceanographer and i do have a contract now so am presently on sea.The contract is strictly no call due to the lack of reception on the sea area. But I'm able to access email anytime as we will make use of laptop so my only quickest payment option is PayPal as i can send money via PayPal anytime.Since I'm requesting this transaction to be done via PayPal, i will be responsible for all the paypal charges on this transaction and if you don't have an account with paypal, its pretty easy, safe and secured to open one. Just log on to [url="http://www.paypal.com/"]http://www.paypal.com[/url]. I hope we can make the purchase as fast as possible? I have a mover that will come for it once payment clears and they will take care of very necessary paper for me.I need your PayPal Full name and email address so i can send the money now. Many Thanks What would you think?

That is a machine to be proud of! Beautiful work by all concerned. My favourite colour combo too. A few people earlier have mentioned about being outbid on one on ebay last week. I never bid but give it serious thought, I decided to refrain due to concerns over what Mrs Dunc would do to my n*ads. May yours remain intact. Thanks for the invite. Cheers Dunc
