Have you reported their user name to a Beamter so they can be deleted?

Send me a message with the username.

Just an FYI, here is a thread where you can report spammer activity.

I thought the message was from someone else (should have checked the username) and emailed him and gave him my phone number. He called me (unknown number) telling me that he emailed me....at least I think that's what he was saying. I could hear everything, but could barely make out two words.

I replied that I was no longer interested, and he told me "ok know problem."

Google search showed his exact email response but with a different item in the message....I'm actually surprised I got a call from a live person.

Here's where i'm at so far, keep your fingers crossed.


Scammer guy
Hello,
I have your wanted Ad items in stock for sale, and I will like to know
if you are still ready to buy the item(s). Kindly email with your
Phone number via [email protected] . For more details of what
you are buying .

Thanks,

Michael.

----------------------------------------
Me
I need to buy the following

(2) Linear actuation pumps
(1) Left rear tire
(3) Kringle valve (with male fittings)

--------------------------------------------
Scammer guy
Hello Patrick,

Thanks for responding. I still have the Left rear tire, Linear
actuation pumps and Kringle valve with male fittings in excellent
shape and condition. I'm asking for £380 for it including shipping to
you. Whats your complete shipping address? I can ship via UPS or FedEx
whichever you prefer. I'm having problem attaching the picture to the
mail, But am assuring you that the Left rear tire, Linear actuation
pumps and Kringle valve with male fittings are in good condition and
nice shape.

Thanks,

King Michael.


------------------------------------
Me
How long is the Kringle valve and how much do you want for the Drivers side antenna?

----------------------------------
Scammer guy
I will accept £25 for the drivers side antenna. As for the Kringle
valve is not too long, But i will ask my friend for that. Can you
please tell me the size you want.

Regard.

King Michael.

--------------------------------

Me
Well what sizes does he have? Will your friend let you handle his Kringle valves? That's pretty bold. One touch with the oil on your skin and it's ruined. I'm not paying for ruined Kringle valves. Also, how can I send you payment? I can send a check, cash, paypal, western union, whatever works for you!

----------------------------------
Scammer guy
Hello Patrick,

I will accept payment via Money Gram. What's your complete shipping
address? so i can make arrangement for shipping to you.

Get back to me ASAP.

Regard,

Michael.

-----------------------------------
Me
To cover shipping and exchange rate i'll just send you $500. Here's the thing though I got scammed one time so there's this one thing I always ask if it's an international payment, can you send me a picture of you holding a sign that says something specific, the last guy sent a picture of himself or maybe it was his friend holding a sign that said "MYE28 ROCKS". It's for security, these days you never can be sure.

Once I get the picture i'll send the $500 over right away.

---------------------------------

Scammer
Hello Patrick,

Is okay by me. i will love to chat with you on yahoo messenger so we
can as well see each other there on Cam to Cam chatting and your
number so we can talk on phone. As you know i'm having problem
attaching the picture to the mail. Here is the mail.
[email protected] add me am there waiting for you. or you send me
yours ASAP.

Regard .

Michael.

----------------------------
Me
I don't have a webcam, oh well, thanks for your time i'll buy the items somewhere els. I'm also looking for an engine, how much to send a 5JZ over? If it has triple cams i'd be willing to pay up to $400. Let me know if you find a way to attach that picture later.

--------------------------------
spammer
Taking the picture is not a problem but attaching the picture to the
mail is the problem, that is why i am asking for messenger chat.
-------------------------------
Me
Try this website, the last guy I bought two sets of wheels from was in england and he used this site!

http://postimage.org

---------------------------

I have attach my picture there.

---------------------------
Me
Send me the link to it

It has to be holding a sign that says "MYE28 ROCKS" because that could be any image off the internet. It doesn't even have to be you, just any person holding a sign that says "MYE28 ROCKS"

--------------------------------

------------------------------------
me
I am now thinking you are lying to me because you are not sending a person holding a "MYE28 ROCKS" sign. I will buy my parts somewhere else now.

------------------------------------
me
To send payment will I go to the money gram website? What is your username so I can enter it in?

------------------------------------
scammer

Hello Patrick.

You have to go to any one close to you there. Because some time we
always have problem using the Money Gram website. Below are my info
for payment of $500 via Money Gram.

Receivers Name: Michael King
Address: 204 Bristol Avenue Bispham Blackpool Lancashire FY2 0JF Uk
Amount to Send: $500

Email or send me a scan copy from your payment receipt so i can
receive and confirm payment from you as follow.

Reference #:
Senders Name:

As soon as i receive and confirm payment from you i will immediately
ship out and email to you the tracking #.

Please do send me your complete shipping address ASAP for shipping.

Regard.

---------------------------------
me
I have found a money gram location, it's just down the street from my house. Also, did I tell you my shipping address yet? It's 4081 New Bern Av. Raleigh NC. I can go to Money Gram after work today, I need to stop near there Anyway because there is a Walmart nearby. Walmart is where I do all of my shopping, they have name brand goods at discount prices and I am always impressed with their customer service and store cleanliness. Did you know that you can buy fresh produce there?!? Who would have thought.

I thought we agreed on $550? I will send you $550, I always send a bit extra since I know international transactions are difficult.

You have agreed to send me a picture of you holding something that says "MYE28 ROCKS" or I WILL NOT send you any money.

Kyle definitely studied at the David Letterman school of comedy. If it isn't funny once, try it again 20 more times.
