我在craigslist親身經曆的騙子(例子)

我在craigslist 發廣告賣車,第二天就收到從[e-mail] 的 email

hello

我以為有買主了,害的我花了很長時間把我的車的優缺點寫了一個長篇.他第二個email是這樣的:

hello,
Thanks for getting back to me with your response, but i will like to first re-introduce, am Phill Berg, am standing here as an agent in respect of the automobile in question but before any commencement on the trade i will like to bring your attention to something very important which about the shipping and the payment, i already have two clients requesting for this particular type of vehicle and one is really ready to pay now, so an overdraft payment will be issued to you which has already included the shipping cost and it will be taken care by me so as soon as you get the payment, i will want you to deduct the actual price of the automobile and get the balance back to me via western union or moneygram and i will want you to know that all other damages on the car will be taken care by me and i wouldn't mind if you can still send down the picture of the car so as to get a clearer picture of how the car looks, so both the shipping, repairs if there is any are not going to be any problem at all.......so please i will want to know if you are trading with me, kindly send down the following information:
FULL NAME:
FULL ADDRESS:
PHONE NUMBER:
LAST OFFER:
I await your response on this as fast as possible so as to know the next stage to go. thanks so much.
cheers.
Phill,

看了這以後我才知道我的時間都浪費了,原來是騙子一個.當然我還發了email給他,吊了他幾天胃口.

當然在網絡上碰到騙子是難免的.關鍵是自己要學會識別.我的車最後還是通過craigslist賣給了另一個人.他從幾十邁開來看我車. 現金交易,一手交錢一手交貨.
