SPAM..dont believe these guys

You can't teach experience...

As per the original post, Paypal is pretty secure. Ask him to send the money and only post your PDA when the funds have cleared :o)

Doubt? No doubt, it's a scam.

Dear Mrs Dracula..

Given that a bicycle is faster on the road than a Kia (Mr Britexpat can confirm that), hence why hes trying to flog it off. I will decline the generous offer, settle for a Bicycle and leave it for you guys to scam someone else..

better hurry up and send 125$ if you still want a super Kia with super grade petrol.

Both: super made in China!

lol drac, brit and flan, you scammers..

Greetings and felicitations

My name is one-hung-lo. The Chinese project manager for the esteemed Britexpat.

Unfortunately , due to circumstances beyond his control, he has had to leave the country in haste. He denies all knowledge of any incident in a bathroom at KFC and will be back as soon as Qatar Airways can find his luggage and confirm his return flight.

The KIA cars are a special consignment and being assembled in our state of the art plant in Beijing.

Due to the local taxation laws, we are unable to ship without paying the duty at source.

You are therefore requested to arrange a draft payment of US$125 per car. Once this is received , the cars will be shipped along with a full tank of Super grade petrol to the nearest port.

Please forward the monies to:

NAME: One Hung Low

ADDRESS: 23, The long March Towers, Mao Tse Tung Parade

CITY: BEIJING

COUNTRY: CHINA

ZIP CODE: 666

Await your quick response concerning the items.

Thanks.”

Since early December 2008, 100 QL members have paid the 50.000 QR required to buy a new KIA car from your estimated company.

Until now, no one answer.

Please reply!

Dear Brit,

My condolences to you and your budgie. I have just wired the AD 200 to your account. Can't wait for that magical stick to arrive. Hopefully the money can help with some of the medical expenses.

Kind regards

Flano

I have a new boomerang for sale. Problem is that I have had to leave the country because of illness to my pet budgie.

Please send AD 200.00 via Western Union and I shall send the product to you upon receipt.

He says your "item" not your iphone, that (and Nigeria) is the tip-off.

i'll let majorities opinion get passed on this one...

cheers!

Clearly a scam. If this person is a QL user please report them to admin.

Britex is right, i agree with him..

"There's nothing we can do to change the past, if it teaches  you a lesson profit from it then, forget it."

just be careful and dont give any bank or paypal info!

take care.

if he sends the payment first? unless he's asking for the other way around...

SPAM SPAM SPAM .....

Be Careful

Anything with "Nigeria" on it should set alarm bells ringing..

never ever forget it ...
