Help Desk National Microsoft Pinpoint scammers
Hello, this morning between 4am-6am I was on a website when this page popped up asking me to call 0800-442-818, they claim to be part of the Help Desk National Microsoft Pinpoint and that there was something wrong with my computer.
I spent two hours on the phone with them trying to get me to log into the website www . fmu1 .com which is on the logmein platform
They tried a variety of ways to try and get me to connect to the logmein platform. If they were successful I was to leave my machine on and not use it for 10-12 hours.
They said I could use my own technician to get the internet working which they said would cost me about $1000 to get a NZ tech to fix the adware and viruses but they could do the job for $300.00 US (447.00 NZ) and I'd be saving about $600.00.
"TradeMe" Scammer
Hi there im trying to sell my car via trade me and auto trader and have come across a person sending texts via a 990 number then asking to email via an email adress : lisawoods77 @ hotmail.com. There reply is this "Hi, The Car is okay by me and i am also willing to go with your price. I would have called to discuss this but i am presently at Sea serving in the Navy and there's a restriction on phone calls here. I am buying it for my brother and i want it to be a surprise gift. I have a shipping agent who will come for the pick up after i have made payment to you and you have received the money. Unfortunately the agent cannot bring cash or pay on my behalf as he doesn't handle third party payments.I am going to have to pay via Paypal which is a fast, safe and reliable method of payment. I cannot access and transfer funds online from my bank account as am yet to get it activated but i have my account already attached to my paypal so i can make payment using PayPal. You can withdraw from Paypal to your bank account. If you don't have a PayPal account, it is very easy to set up at www. paypal .com, after you have set it up I will only need you to send me a Paypal money request to my paypal email address (lisawoods77 @ hotmail.com ) so i can make payment.

Free kitten from Thailand scam
Hi, I have just found a lot of scammers on this site http ://www. adpost .com /nz/?db=nz _pets& website=&language=&session_key=&search_and_display_db_button=on&results_format=headlines&category=Cats&caption_header=FOR+SALE+/+ADOPTION:&query=browse. They say that they are giving away their pedigree kittens for free because they have no time for them or don’t believe in selling animals to make money. When I inquired about the kittens all they wanted to know was where I lived and about my experience with cats, if I’m suitable to look after them. They then say that they will give me a kitten but they live far away from me and all I have to do is pay for delivery. They gave me the delivery Companies website (cshiplines.webs.com) and said that I just have to pay to a person in Thailand as that is where the company is based.I checked out the site and called the airlines they said they used. The airlines I contacted said that they didn’t use that company and have never heard of it.

Flatmate scammer
Hi there, this came following contact on easyroommate .co .nz - this was the second email. I believe this person has made this scam under different names.On Mon, May 25, 2015
Hi Alison,
Thanks for your message on easy roommate about our flat :) You're more than welcome to come and have a look at our flat. How long are you looking to rent for?
Thanks

Hi ,
Thanks for the quick response and sorry about the late response.Here is a quick synopsis of my life so far:
I believe as a potential Tenant I need to introduce myself briefly,I was born in Virginia,grew up on Long Island and my high school in Massapequa, I pretty don't go to all my reunions but I have few good friends.
I left Massapequa right after high school,tried going into music,can't imagine life without music,my Dad offered me a year in Europe after graduation. I thought that would be a good idea to get out of town since my relationship soured so I told everyone I would be back in 3 months. What happened is simple. I kept falling into jobs and postponing my return. I ended up staying in France and Brisbane in between 2 yrs years. During that time I decided to try my hand in Interior design English and a professional photographer for a couple of months,Lost my Mom 7 years ago and My Dad passed away 12 days ago..
I am friendly and I'd like to consider myself honest, caring, affectionate and thoughtful with a good sense of humor. Mind you, that doesn't mean I'm a pure saint .I am presently in Malaysia for my dad's burial,been having some difficulties lately.But I will be back in 6 days .I am an interior designer,I have passion for photography and working with plants and creating outdoor spaces such as garden is a passion for me, I like visual arts (movies, public art, photography, painting..), I love music and cooking, basically I like everything that involves creativity. Learning has been a lifestyle for ages. I'm very passionate about the people in my life,love thinking outside of the box and being creative in my pursuits. My life right now is a little jacked up but, I press through the bad days and revel in the good .I love to have fun and thrill seek.
I am moving for a new start,and I hope you can help me adapt once I arrive..I intend to move in immediately I arrive back,could you tell me more about yourself.
PS: Could you tell me the total cost for moving in,does it include utility bills?and how much do I need to deposit.
Kind Regards
Alison

Hi Alison,
I'm sorry to hear about your dad - sounds like you have had a rough time lately. Our flatmate doesn't move out until 16 June, so unfortunately the room is not available until then. The lease also runs until February next year which is when our contract runs out, so you would be signing a lease which lasts until then - just wanted to check that you saw this into on the ad and are aware of this. The bond would be $450 which can be arranged around about move in date, and the first rent ($190) would be due a few days after the room becomes available for someone to move in. Would you like to come and see the room when you get back and we can meet you? We are continuing to advertise until we have met somebody and have found a suitable flatmate but of course I would let you know if this happened before you get back, we don't have anyone lined up for the room so far!
Let me know what you think of the above, no rush in replying
Cheers

Hi ,
Thank you for the well written reply,and you sound like a nice person I can confide in
This seems weird confiding in you,but I do really need someone to talk to right now
My Dad left me Gold Bars before he passed away which are not part of his documented will,it was given to me by my Aunt upon my arrival.My step mom requested a photocopy of my passport front page and signature for the Family Lawyer as part of the Will sharing procedure,I was so dumb and foolish to give her my passport so she could get the front page photocopy Herself.
Now she would not return my passport because she feels her son is entitled to the Gold Bars,my Aunt on the other hand told me my Dad personally asked her to give me the Gold bars when he was critically ill,she said he felt he hasn't been the best Father to me after my mom passed away.
I presently don't feel safe anymore at the moment,and urgently needed someone to confide in,am really sorry for bringing this up as we both are strangers,I almost contacted my ex boyfriend whom I swore never to speak to all because I feel so lonely and confused .I will totally understand if you don't feel like letting me confide in you.
I found a courier company Via Mat International they are a Worldwide domicile-to-domicile transportation of valuables and semi-valuables,I already paid them $12,490 to ship the Gold bars,all I need now is someone to help me sign and receive them before my arrival. I also need help balancing the courier outstanding,can you help me?
I need to balance the outstanding before final delivery could commence,I really need help on that too,I am willing to give you a token worth $25,000 once I arrive if you could help me. I intend to arrive next week
All I long for is a quite new path in life.
PS: I can explain further if you are interested.
Regards
Alison
Malware notification via Facebook
I would like to report an internet scam that happened to me .On the night of 22 April 2015, while surfing the net (I was on facebook) my pc was hit by a virus, it came in the form of a mini screen and a recorded message telling me that malware had been found on my pc and provided a phone number so that a specialist will help me.
The interesting part is that the phone number provided was an Auckland number ( 09-887-9351) .
Knowing that it is a scam I tried to get rid of that virus to no avail, I then called a friend who is a pc specialist , he called that number and a young man with an Indian accent answered, after asking few questions he told him to go to google and type : " support me", then a list came up, he said that we should log into the first site up ( called : logmein123.com) a screen came up requiring a password which he provided ( it was 143 576). At this stage we stopped and knowing that logging in means they will have full control over my pc.
Lottery scam via Facebook
Hi, I was approached by a woman "Tisha A Glad" who said she worked for Facebook as their lottery winnings person and said that I had won 50,000.0NZD in their latest lottery.I queried all of this and as it was through their messages process I managed to save all the conversations, the link to the Chase Bank in the USA and a copy of the winning certificate etc that covered this.
To get the winnings xferred via an electronic bank xfer, I was asked to pay 300.00 via a Western Union Payment to an unknown person who was supposed to be a bank casher.
She is still asking this morning when I am going to pay the Western Union fee..
Chase Bank have contacted me this morning and confirmed that this is a Phishing scam.
I have notified Facebook of this scam and have not heard anything back from them as yet.
However it appears to be genuine with her ID card and facebook number etc on it but the links to the bank and the ensuing conversations I had on Message with her really felt wrong. I know it is not genuine and felt that we need to know about this in NZ.
Following are the Facebook chats I have had with "Tisha":
THIS CORRESPONDENCE OFFICIALLY CONFIRMS THAT WE ARE IN RECEIPT OF YOUR MAIL REGARDING THE CLAIM OF YOUR WINNINGS VALUED OF ($500,000.00) NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS. I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS 100% REAL AND LEGAL, AS A MATTER OF FACT THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION (FBI) IS AWARE OF THIS SO YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
ME: thank you to you and Facebook Tisha....... this means that I can now get my eye surgery instead of having to wait months.........
TISHA: Send me your Email address once again? we are going to send you a bank link now into your email so i want you to check it now

ME: I cant seem to get the link to get an ID with the company. Am going back to try again
TISHA: Here is the User ID 01245677XXXX75. Here is the PASSWORD bXXXn1234. You have to login the account now okay? That is where you are going to transfer your winnings from into your own account.
ME: I have logged in and have the persons account up, what happens now ?
TISHA: can you see opening balance ?
ME: yes it is 100.00
TISHA: Can you see account accredited?
ME: yes I can see it is a huge amount
TISHA: Good. Go to under opening balance then you will see to transfer funds... clink on it Then fill the information .
ME: ok have filled in the info
TISHA: Amount to transfer is $500.000.00 then clink transfer cash..
ME: have done, they require a transaction code
TISHA: Oh okay. That is where we have little problem right now ,The bank is asking for transaction code because the money is going to another country .
ME: right so what is the best thing to do now ?
TISHA: And you will have to pay the sum of $300 to get the transaction code sent to your mail in the next 24 hours.. The code will be sent as soon as the payment is been confirmed.All you have to do is to keep your hope alive so that you can achieve your goals..
ME: I will have to borrow that from my daughter as I do not have that much at present.... is there no other way to get this done. It is just after midnight here in New Zealand so will have to wait until I can call her in the morning and get her to transfer the funds
TISHA: You have to wait till morning after the payment is been made
ME: Would the ATM option have the same requirement of the 300.00 ?
TISHA: You are to make the payment through western union The ATM option requires $500 for delivery
ME: Hmmmm that sounds a lot.... who is the Western Union payment made out to ?
TISHA: Did you know how to send money through western union?
ME: I am pretty sure our New Zealand Post Offices have the Western Union facility and I can do that tomorrow.However how do I contact you regarding all of this again to get the funds released ?
TISHA: Here is the information where you are to get the money sent to via western union. Receivers Name:Jennifer Simon. City:Muse State: Pennsylvania USA Zip Code:15350...
ME: I thought it had to go to the bank. Who is this person ?
TISHA: That is the cashier information via western union.
ME: Can we not do this as a direct electronic transfer via my bank to the chase bank ?
TISHA: No you have to take the cash to send via western union. Because the cash has to confirmed the payment then take it to the bank in cash in other for you to get transaction code..
ME: Sounds a strange way to do business.......However I will do that. Do I contact you at Facebook when I have done that ?
TISHA: just send me the receipt given to you by the western union ...
TISHA: Hello Are you still making the payment today?
TISHA: Hello Why have i not heard from you?

Inheritance scam via Facebook
Hi, I received a friend request on Facebook from an elderly lady. Soon after accepting this request, I was notified that I was chosen as a beneficiary of her estate. I was asked for bank details. I was then asked to pay $1800. I didn’t pay the money.Inheritance scam via LinkedIn - Rory Cullinan
View the original notification (.PDF, 100KB)*Rory Cullinan
Non Executive Director at Royal Bank of Scotland
Good Day ,
Thanks for responding to my Invite on linkedln, I am Mr Rory Cullinan, Non Executive Directors at Royal Bank of Scotland .
I would respectfully request that you keep the content of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come across as a result of this mail. I contacted you privately and no one is informed of this communication. I will give you the entire story behind the Business here. I do hope you find it interesting enough in accepting this proposal.
Sometime in 2010, a certain Engineer/contractor Mr. Max made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, currently valued at GBP4,843,000.00 (Four Million Eight Hundred and Forty Three Thousand Great British Pounds Sterling) in my bank. Upon maturity, routine notifications were sent to his forwarding address but we got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, Royal Dutch plc that Mr. Max died alongside his longtime companion in an Auto crash.
If you are familiar with private banking practice, those who patronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from conventional processes. In the deceased bio-data form, he listed no next of kin,In the field of private banking, accounts are rarely held under a name, depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous.
In this case, Mr. Max died intestate. In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed away, my bank conducted a search in good faith to determine who should have right to claim the funds.
This has for the past years been unfruitful. This sum has since been sitting in my bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one has been able to come forward for it. According to the Laws of my environment ( United Kingdom), at the expiration of a given period if the said fund is not claimed,the money will revert to the ownership of the United Kingdom government.
The world of banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios. In this case, I alone have the deposit details as I was the account officer to the deceased as at the time the account Fixed deposit was made my bank will release the deposit to no one unless evidence of relationship with the deceased is presented. The bank's management has no single idea of the history of the deposit. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to the party that comes forward. This is the situation. My bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track this man's family.
Consequently, what I propose is that I will like you to stand in as the next of kin to Mr Max as you both have same last name so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. Acting in this capacity really is simple as I will explain in detail to you when I get your response. Being aware of this request I am making, I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. You may not know this but people like me who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come ones' way once in a lifetime.
The reward for this project makes it a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting the public.
My position as the Non Executive Directors at Royal Bank of Scotland guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you find yourself able to work with me, I urge you to indicate to that effect.
In closing, please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us. i expect your response to my private email :rorycullinan25 @ gmail.com
Awaiting your urgent reply
Yours Sincerely,
Rory Cullinan
Online Dating scammer
"Hello I have been talking to a gentleman who claims to be in the military stationed in Afghanistan coming home on October 25th. I met him on a dating site called date hook up. He sent me the first message and we started talking and then became friends. I myself come from a military family so I really thought this person was real he posted his picture and that he lived in Jacksonville, then as we were talking he told me was in the military and I thought it was odd to post that you live in Jacksonville. Then he wanted me to get on Skype and that where I saw him in his military uniform so I thought okay he's legit and then then the bombshell... he wanted me to send 3000.00 to him saying his son was in danger and his mum was him. That's when the flag came up I just don't want any other women to get scammed by this person who claims to defend our country and to wear the uniform.""Interested in buying a Iphone5s from us" - NZ Store

Hello,
We dont want to hold your items for long anymore How are you doing today? I will like to notify you that the courier are ready to deliver right now as the customs already released the package for delivery .. Right now the courier contact me that we need to make a payment of 300 for the reshipment of order, the customs called out the package while held so with this a new tracking number will be issued to us after the payment is done .. .. The courier needs a shipment order from you so they can continue the shipment and as you and I know that you don't have that...The company doesn't pay for shipment for bulk buyers,the payment needs to come from the buyer and as you are just a single buyer so we had a meeting and we concluded that you should send the shipment fee to the same information I sent to you earlier..
Like we have promised we know this is not your fault and also its not the company fault also that is why we are giving you 2 extra units of the Apple for free and we are going to refund all your money back including the 300 you will be paying now for the re shipment of order.
Please do this as soon as you can so the shipment can proceed so it wouldn't go into demorage again ..
Regards
Flatmate scam - Eric Lorre
Hello. Ive had suspicious dealings with a person called Eric Lorre claiming to be renting out his 2 bedroom apartment in Parnell via nzflatmates. co .nz then asking me too deposit one months rent into his account as hes in London via his account.All emails and supposed emails from the rental agency below.
First email
Thanks for taking the time to look at my property.
I am looking for a responsible person that can take a very good care of it. I am not after the money for the rent but want it to be clean all the time and the possible tenant will see the house as his or her own, and I hope that you can send me some personal information about yourself.
The apartment is fully furnished with all necessary amenities (exactly like in the pics). It has dishwasher, washing machine and clothes dryer. There are two parking spots, a storage unit where you can deposit my furniture (if you don't like it and you want to use your furniture). Pets allowed.
The monthly rent for the apartment is $1,400. This will include all utilities such as water, electricity, Internet, cable, parking etc. I am looking for someone to rent anywhere from 1 month to 5 years or more.
The only problem is that I had to move with my job to United Kingdom, London where I am now and I left the keys and contract already signed by me at a rental company and they will handle the rental process. They have a program that offers the tenant the possibility to check the apartment and makes sure that the tenant is fully satisfied with everything.
If you want to know more about how this deal can work please get back to
me ASAP and I will send you the details step by step.
Eric Lorre
Second email
I am glad that you are still interested in my apartment and I fully agree to have you as my tenant. I will have to contact the rental agency and provide them all the necessary information so they can start the rental process. For that I will need your full name current address, email and phone number.
You will receive a notification from the rental company containing all the instructions that you need to follow and the invoice as well. To secure the apartment you will be instructed to deposit the first 2 months rent to the agency and then you start paying rent from the third month you moved in. The keys and rental agreement will be delivered by their agent at your current address same day the deposit is paid or you can meet with the agent at the apartment when you arrive. You will be given a 5 days inspection period from the day you receive the keys and lease agreement. If you are satisfied with the apartment all you have to do is to sign the lease agreement and inform the agency. After you move in the apartment, the monthly payment will be sent directly to my bank account.
If you wish to proceed please provide the requested details and I will submit your application right away, and of course please make sure that you have the deposit payment ready.
I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you for your time and nice cooperation.
Regards!
Eric
Third email
Thank you for details I will submit your application with the rental agency and they will contact you with more details. You will also have to send them an email with your name and the address of the apartment so they can identify you. Their email address is rent @ airpost.net
About your questions: first of all this rental process goes through airbnb rental manager so there is no reason that you or I should be worried. The deposit payment is fully refundable in case you decide not to rent the apartment after the 5 days inspection period. There is no bond or letting fees to be paid just the first 2 months rent deposit then you start paying rent from the third month.
Eric

I have been in search of someone with this last name " " and when I saw your name I was pushed to contact you and see how best we can assist each other.
Meanwhile I am Mr. Paul Agyiri, a reputable banker here and my purpose of contacting you is this; On the 15th of March 2007 one Mr. Sebelius , a citizen of your country and a crude oil dealer made a fixed deposit with my bank valued at $17,500,000.00 (Seventeen Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) and the due date for this deposit contract is exactly this time of the year.
Sadly Mr. Sebelius was among the death victims in the 2008 deadly earthquake in Sichuan china and left nobody for the claim of his deposited fund. He was in china on a business trip and that was how he met his end. You can go through the above website for more information about the earthquake (http: //en .wikipedia. org/ wikil2008 Sichuan_earthquake)
Sebelius did not mention any Next of Kin! Heir when the account was opened because he was not married and no children and if this fund should stays here in our bank after so many years till this time of the year! It will move into the bank treasury account as unclaimed fund and the Top ones here in our bank will share it among themselves.
I don't want such thing to happen that is the reason why I contacted you and requesting your assistance to receive this fund into your account as the beneficiary hence you bear same surname with the deceased,
Please kindly consider this proposal and send me your reply of interest to my private email address:(paul.agyiriI24 @ outlook.com) so that I will give you more details on how to proceed, I am not a greedy person, so I am suggesting we share the funds equal, which is 50%150% to both parties,
I wait for your response direct to my private email (paul.agyiriI24 @ outlook.com) and please delete if you are not interested.
For your information it is very difficult for me to talk about this subject on Skype because I am always busy in the office, so I prefer that we Keep communicating through e-mail for safety purpose

Flatmate scam on Gumtree - "Audrey Arford"
I posted an ad on the ‘Gumtree’ website, for renting out my sleep-out.
I received the following text yesterday: “Hi, I just flipped through your post on gumtree and would like to discuss further. Please email me on arfordaudrey @ gmail.com or send me your email add. Audrey”. The number the txt was sent from is: +2348033664450, Message centre: + 447785016005

I did still send an email, see my message at the bottom of this thread. I received this email below from this person this afternoon. I don’t trust this at all. I will not respond, and have blocked that email address.

Scammer Major General Robert Abrams
This scammer initially contacted me via Skype and built a relationship then he started asking for my help in getting a package for him which is when I became suspicious. The emails follow.To: "Maj. Gen. Robert Abrams" <majgenrobertbabrams @ yahoo.com>
My darling Robert I hope you got the email i sent yesterday,Can you sort it out as I dont know where the western union is here I could find out if need be but dont have the money they want me to pay I feel like im letting you down right now concerning this package .Let me know what Im supose to do please
Maj. Gen. Robert Abrams wrote:
Dear sweetheart , I hope you are doing well, I miss you seriously since yesterday, i was online at my convenience time just to hear from you my heart, but i could not meet you online, now am online again just because of you but you are no where to be found, even at this critical time of our goal and future. I am trusting you to help me handle this situation and receipt of this package as I would not be able to handle this matter from here, due to my career, I would not like to keep any trace.
Please dear, don't think or don't say you are letting me down because you are the only person I have responsible to help me make my dream and future with you come true. In every dream we pursue, we attract its respective version of opposition. Going back will not solve any problem, regrets will not change anything either but efforts is all you need to be successful in receipting this package for our future, because I sent this package to you having in mind that we will be successful. Most people who are global achievers were once victims of greater circumstances than ours, but they had one word to sum it up. They never give up!
What you are suppose to do is to keep good relationship and communication with the Red Cross Society delivery agent. The second thing you are suppose to do is not to relent on your effort to take possession of the package for out future, this package is about $ 4 million United States dollars inside, this is my success and fortune in a surprise attack in the Taliban hideout, which i commanded while I was the commanding General of the 3rd Infantry Division in Afghanistan for fight against terrorism. Its for this reason I advise you don't let anyone know your activities now and when you receive the package, because of thief's and bad mind of people of this world. Its for this reason I will also want you to be calm, don't let your heart be troubled, be reserved and successful in all situation, for the best is yet to come as I always want the best for us as a couple and for our future investment.
I and the US secretary of defense will be visiting Russia and Syria this week for peace talk. I tell you about my mission because I trust and love you so much and urge you to handle this matter for me due to my career, I would not like to keep any trace, as my retirement is coming soon at hand and i have a lot of success with this package I sent to you, so that I can start a new life with you by my side in New Zealand. That's all a man needs to know that his wife is always on his side, supporting and giving affection. Please take good care of yourself and give my best wishes to your daughter Amy.
Let me stop here as i have given you so much information for your better understanding.
Yours in love,
Robert
I also emailed the Red Cross email address "Robert" had given me to gauge their response.
To: redcross_delivery @ mail2doctor.com
dear Sir I am having difficulty getting the money as it is 4 times that amount for me to pay ,so can you tell me what happens to the package if I cant pay by the week. Thanks
Red Cross Society Delivery Agent <redcross_delivery @ mail2doctor.com> wrote:
Dear ,
On behalf of the Red Cross Society, I hereby advise you to pay half of the fee by next week, so that your package will not start accumulating demurrage, as the authority is use to start calculating demurrage or confiscate goods or cargo if the owner leave he/ her consignment longer than necessary at the Bonded Security Warehouse in London Heathrow Airport.
You are expected to come up with a positive response next week, even if its half of the fee, then I can take it to appeal to the authority on your behalf, for the release of your package and to certify your package passing through the London Heathrow Airport to your Address in New Zealand, you will then pay the remaining half balance complete as agreed upon our meeting at your reception address in New Zealand.
We arrived safely here at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre, Ghana Africa, for one week Red Cross Society workshop activities and seminal, before coming back to pick your package from London to New Zealand.
Await your urgent response with understanding as soon as you receive this e-mail.

Rental scam
The below scam was in response to an ad for our apartment to rent in Auckland. We started getting suspicious so did some research and contacted a friend at a bank and thought we would share how scams like this work:1. they contact the victim and overpay using some excuse like, in our case Rent money from overseas, or they pay you to play poker for them (up front) or sell things on ebay for them.
2. once they deposit money they ask you to send them money back ASAP as they have only 24 to 48 hours to CANCEL it
3. and that's the whole logic of the scam - while money appears on our bank account it's probably a cheque with a cover or they simply withdraw the transfer. The reason for use of Western Union is simple of course - we can't cancel/reverse it once we send the money.
I have only sent the email responses from Angelina Brown

Hi,
Thanks for the reply to my e-mail. I should probably tell you more about myself. I just completed my BSC at University of Manchester. I like watching soap operas, swimming, and i play the guitar and paint wonderfully. I do not smoke neither do i drink. I am a young christian female, friendly, honest, and easy to get along with. I am not a neat freak, but I like to keep the house tidy. I enjoy going to the cinema's. I also enjoy watching and playing sport, amongst those being golf and football once in a while. I also like socializing with friends and am fun to be with.
I am currently in England, and i intend staying for long term. I planned coming over by 2nd week in March but i would prefer making payment prior my arrival to secure the place. As regards rent $395 works perfect p/w but i would only pay for one week now prior my arrival to secure the place, and then i will balance up immediately i arrive. For payment, a wire transfer into your bank account would work out perfect. Thanks and let me know what you feel.
Best regards,
Angelina
2nd email:
Hi,
Sounds great to hear from you again. Everything seems fine with me. I would prefer paying one week rent directly to you prior my arrival to secure the place and then i will balance up after my arrival, because my dad would make payment and he wants to ensure that proper arrangement is made now.
As regards the tenancy agreement, i will fill and sign the form immediately i arrive before moving in because i do not have a fax machine over here nor scanner/printer. Regarding payment, a wire transfer into your bank account would work out perfect as it's easier and more reliable. Kindly get back to me with your bank account info to enable my dad make payment immediately such as the bank name, account number and name on account, including your direct cell phone number so i could always contact you. I have my picture attached to this email so you can get to know what i look like and i would like to see yours too.
Best regards,

3rd email:
Hi,
I hope all is well? I checked with my dad again and i was told that funds ($2,450) was sent from my mom's account which you ought to have gotten by now. Kindly check your account balance online as soon as you receive this email and advise immediately.
All you need to do is to withdraw funds at the bank tomorrow Saturday morning your time or at the ATM machine using your ATM/debit card and deduct $395 out of the money to secure my place, then head to the closest western union outlet around and send the balance of $2,055 to my agent's details below.
Receiver's Name: EKENE ADAFIN
Receiver's Address: 48 (street name removed) Road, Manchester, M20 4RW, UK
Please advise your full house address so i can search online for the closest western union outlet around where you can send the money. Your photo I.D and proof of address is required to send funds via western union. Am aware of the transfer charges for any money sent through western union, go ahead and deduct the transfer charges out of the $2,055 and send the remaining balance to the details which i provided you with.
Immediately you complete the transfer tomorrow morning, you are to get back to me with the MTCN number (10 digit number) on the receipt given to you after sending the money, sender's name and address with the exact amount you sent. You can as well have the confirmation page attached and sent back to me if you can.
Thanks so much for your effort and i hope to get the transfer details asap tomorrow morning before 11am your time if possible. Talk to you soon.

We were getting suspicious about now which is when we did the research and contacted a friend at a bank. The delay in responding had her worried...
4th email:
Hi,
I have been worried as i haven't heard from you. Please, kindly advise if you have been able to send the money to the info which i provided you with. I hope to get the western union transfer details asap. See you soon.
Best regards,

5th email:
Hi,
I never knew you were out of town. My dad is currently on a business trip out of town and the money is meant for deposit and also for my traveling expenses coming over.
If you send funds via bank transfer, i won't receive the money before 3-4 working days and i might loose my flight which i'm trying to avoid. I am so confused as i don't know what to do at the moment because i assured my agent already that he will receive funds this weekend so fast arrangement can be made for me. Please, kindly withdraw funds at the ATM machine by Sunday morning your time using your ATM/DEBIT card, then head to the closest western union outlet and send the money. Go ahead and deduct the transfer charges out of the $2,055 and send the remaining balance to the details which i provided you with.
I just searched online using this address (address removed) for the closest western union outlet around where you can send the money on Sunday.
I would appreciate if you can send the money before 10am your time if possible so fast arrangement can be made for me immediately. Kindly keep in touch ASAP, and I hope to get the western union transfer details tomorrow. Thanks so much for your effort and see you soon.

With due respect, i do not appreciate those words you say to me. How do you mean Scam ? I have come to buy your car in good faith and it is so embarrassing if you can have doubts for me because i have explained why i needed this car and i expect you to understand better.
Please send me your bank details as i'm ready to transfer the payment for the car to your account in full.
Kind Regards,
Steve.

I'm sorry i did not mean to up-set you. But there have been reports of people getting there accounts emptied by people who ask for there bank details to transfer moneys into from Gumtree. From different countries. That was the reason for me asking.
The car has been great to me but i can't guarantee you will have no issues driving it back to Darwin although i'm quite sure you won't
You understand that i live in Adelaide
When are you looking at picking up the car
If you are certian that you would still like to purchase the car i will send you my bank details.
From: Terrific Wicketer
I'm aware of your location and I have arranged with the transport company and they will be coming after the car has been paid for to load it on a truck and transport it to Darwin. Please send your bank details and i will facilitate the payment.
From: Terrific Wicketer
I have arranged pick up with the courier and they charged $1,850 for pick up and delivery. They want their payment to be made to their head office in the China through western union money transfer before they can schedule a date or even come for pick up.
So, I will add the $1,950 to the money i'm sending to your account, while the extra $100 take care of western union sending charges. Please once you receive a confirmation of my payment, help me send $1,850 to the courier through western union money transfer and this can be done at the post office or any western union shop close to you.
As you know, i'm in a remote area and i'm incapacitated, please get back to me as soon as you read this message as i need to know if i can proceed with the payment.

Online Dating scam
Earlier this year I joined an internet dating site in the hope, that I might meet someone special. As it happens I did meet a man who ticked a lot of the boxes, he was attractive, articulate, charming and very attentive (he would email me nearly every day). This went on for a few months with him telling me of his plans to purchase property in Wellington as he was planning to move to New Zealand.He was very convincing and made plans to come to New Zealand for a holiday, to spend time getting to know me, going as far as to send me his itinerary. However; one week out from this seemingly perfect holiday I received a phone call from him stating that he was in a remote part of Sri Lanka without internet coverage and he was seeking my assistance to transfer funds from his international bank account to one of his "sub contractors" account.
He talked me through the process step by step, I got so far was unable to complete the transaction. After a number of failed attempts I was locked out. Things became complicated and after a number of phone calls to his bank he asked me if I could transfer money from my bank to cover. I was very nervous and told him I would need time to sort something out. I contacted a financial adviser, who informed Internal Affairs immediately.
Someone contacted me directly and we became to unravel some of the intricate lies that this relationship was built on. I felt extremely upset, embarrassed, foolish and heartbroken.
I trusted this person, even though I was sceptical about joining a dating website. I had done a lot of research into some of the pitfalls of internet dating.
In light of this I still put myself out there in the hope that I may meet someone special.
Today I received notification that this man has popped up again on the dating website, but he is under a different profile. I know it's him, the name is similar, and he is using the same photo. I contacted Be2 to let them know and they were appreciative of the information as they review their system on a daily basis and remove any scam profiles.
I do not want this man to hurt anyone else. Please read this story and pass it on.

Ayo Simon rental scam
Hello there, I am sending through an email chain that I received via an ad I placed on the student rent website (studentrent. co. nz). and received a response from a 26yr woman from Manchester and I found that it had been reported on this website in July of this year.From: Ayo Simon: ayosimon64 @ yahoo.com
Hello,
I saw your posting online concerning the room for rent, and I would appreciate it if i can rent the room from you. I am a 26-year-old graduate from England. My hobbies hiking, Scuba diving and reading. I am also a very clean person that loves cleaning but not a neat freak, but i would make sure at all times the house is in a good shape. I have been told I am friendly and easy to get along with. I don't do drugs nor smoke, drinks on social basis and more in between an introvert and extrovert.
Let me know the bills per week and also the method of payment you would prefer. Try to get me the pictures of the room so I can know what it looks like and kindly tell me little about your self. Kindly get back to me via email on ayosimon64 @ yahoo.com. I will await for your response later today as regards my inquiry soon. Hope to hear from you soon.
Warm Regards,
Ayo

Hey Ayo,
Bills work out to be $40-$50 per week, (should be less over summer, represents winter electricity use), preferred payment is via Internet banking.

Cheers,
From: Ayo Simon
Hi
Thanks for the reply to my e-mail. I am okay with all you have said. I should probably tell you more about myself. I just completed my BSC at University of Manchester. I like watching soap operas, swimming, and i play the guitar and paint wonderfully. I do not smoke neither do i drink. I am a young christian female, friendly, honest, and easy to get along with. I am not a neat freak, but I like to keep the house tidy. I enjoy going to the cinema's. I also enjoy watching and playing sport, amongst those being golf and football once in a while. I also like socializing with friends and am fun to be with.
I planned coming over by 4th week in Nov but i would prefer making payment prior my arrival to secure the place. As regards rent $170 works perfect p/w but i would only pay for two weeks now prior my arrival to secure the place, and then i will balance up immediately i arrive. For payment, a wire transfer into your bank account would work out perfect.
Thanks and let me know what you feel.
Ayo
Hello Ayo,
That sounds perfect to me :)
I will hold the room for you and take down the ad once initial transfer of $340 for two weeks has gone through.
Safe travels,
From: Ayo Simon
Hi,
Sounds great to hear from you again. I would prefer paying two weeks rent directly to you prior my arrival to secure the place, and then i will balance up after my arrival because my dad would make payment and he wants to ensure that proper arrangement is made now.
Regarding payment, a wire transfer into your personal bank account would work out perfect as it's easier and more reliable. Kindly get back to me with your personal bank account info such as the bank name, account number and name on account to enable my dad make payment immediately, including your cell phone number so i could always contact you. I have my picture attached to this email so you can get to know what i look like and i would like to see yours too.
Best regards,
Ayo

Thank you for your reply.
I am glad that you are still interested in my condo and I fully agree to have you as my tenant. I will have to contact the rental company and provide them all the necessary information so they can start the rental process. For that I will need your full name and the address where you want to receive the keys and rental contract.
You will receive a notification from the rental company containing all the instructions that you need to follow. Regarding the rent payment, you will be instructed to deposit the first 2 months rent to the rental company. The keys and rental contract will be delivered by their agent at your current address same day the deposit is paid. You will be given a 5 days inspection period from the day you receive the keys and contract at home. If you are satisfied with the apartment you will have to complete the rental process with the company. After you move in the apartment, the monthly payment will be sent directly to my bank account.
If you wish to proceed with renting the apartment please provide me your full name, email, phone no. and current address so I can initiate the process through the rental company right away, and of course please make sure that you have the deposit payment ready.
I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you for your time and nice cooperation.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my property.
I am looking for a responsible person that can take a very good care of it. I am not after the money for the rent but want it to be clean all the time and the possible tenant will see the house as his or her own,
and I hope that you can send me some personal information about yourself.
The condo is fully furnished with all necessary amenities (exactly like in the pics). It has dishwasher, washing machine and clothes dryer. The condo comes with two parking spots, a storage unit where you can deposit my furniture (if you don't like it and you want to use your furniture). Pets allowed.
The monthly rent for the apartment is $1,000. This will include all utilities such as water, electricity, Internet, cable, parking etc. I am looking for someone to rent anywhere from 1 month to 5 years or more.
The only problem is that I had to move with my job to United Kingdom, London where I am now and I left the keys and contract already signed by me at a rental company and they will handle the rental process. They have a program that offers the tenant the possibility to check the apartment and makes sure that the tenant is fully satisfied with the condo.
If you want to know more about how this deal can work please get back to
me ASAP and I will send you the details step by step.

Regarding an advertised property on buymyplace .com .au
From: Melony Jason <jmelony2 @ gmail.com>Thank you for your kind response. I want to confirm to you that my interest to invest good money internationally is strong. With trust, I faithfully contact you. I know this letter will definitely come to you as a huge surprise, but I implore you to take time to go through it carefully, as the decision you make will go a long way to determine our future business relationship.
I need to move about £12.5milion GBP for foreign investment. The fund was generated from several ROI (Return on Investment. This is a personal deal I executed with my office and I do not want the payments to come to our company account as I will be unable to claim it alone.
I have decided to use this amount as foreign investment. I want to present you as a foreign investor and authorize for the money to be moved to you in your country.
I need someone I can trust so that I can authorize you to be the beneficiary of the money but I need to be assured on my following concerns;
Can I trust you with the fund?
Can you keep a secret?
Can you help me find a good investment for the fund?
What areas of investment will you recommend?
What % share will you want to take for assisting me?
This is a very legal transaction and everything will be coordinated in black and white. The essence of secrecy cannot be underestimated because, a lot of money is involved, and you cannot trust anybody especially when it comes to this amount of money.
God bless you as you consent to work with my team in honesty. Let me know if we can work together. I have strong plans to compensate your assistance.
Warm regards.
Mr Melony.

Hi there,
I have given a great deal of thought about this and I think that sending the keys is not such a good idea. I want to use a third party to handle this for us and I hope it's ok for you, too. I want to use the ParcelForce Company. They are a well known company all over the world. So, I went to their office in Edinburgh and I told them that I want to rent my apartment and they told me that they have a new service i can use. So, here is how it goes: I start over the process with ParcelForce here in Edinburgh and I leave the keys and a copy of the contract at ParcelForce.Then they'll e-mail you all the information you need to continue the transaction at your end. As per the ParcelForce`s instructions you send the funds to ParcelForce and then ParcelForce will FedEx-overnight the keys and the contract to you. Then you look around the apartment and decide whether take it or not. If you decide not to rent the apartment ParcelForce will refund you within 24 hours and you return the keys to me. It's clear and simple. This is the only way to do it given the circumstances and that is an overseas rental process. All I want is to both be safe. The deposit you have to send it's $2400 and it's for the first month rent and for the security deposit. This is the ParcelForce website I am talking about: [link removed]
Should i begin the process with ParcelForce? Please e-mail me and let me know and tomorrow you could have the keys in hand if you complete your end in a timely fashion.

Family Financial Support
I received a message from a Facebook account, telling me about “Family Financial Support”. They offer $50,000 cash, but in order to receive the money, I need to pay a shipping fee of $750 through Western Union. Once $750 has been paid, they ask for $2,500 to clear taxes. The initial message they send is: "Kia Ora, willing to share this with you. have you heard about the Family Financial Support? They supported my family and i in paying my bills, helping me to plan my future. They made sure my credit record is good, Family financial Support are really doing a great job now for people. I received $50,000 cash from them so far, this is really helping me in planning throughout this year. You can give it a shot email them on new year support @ live com to enroll.

Hello
Sounds great to hear from you again. You sound nice and i can't wait to meet you in person any longer. Everything seem fine with me but i would prefer paying 2 weeks rent directly to you prior my arrival to secure the place and then i will balance up after my arrival, because my dad would make payment and he wants to ensure that proper arrangement is made now.
I intend taking MBA after my arrival. I am glad to hear that you could come pick me up at the airport, that's so nice of you. As regards payment, a wire transfer into your bank account would work out perfect cause it's easier and more reliable. Kindly get back to me with your bank account info to enable my dad make payment immediately, including your cell phone number so i could always contact you. I have my picture attached to this email so you can get to know what i look like and i would like to see yours too.

I am also tidy, I don't do drugs nor smoke, drinks on social basis and more in between an introvert and extrovert. Let me know the bills per month and also the method of payment you would prefer. Try to get me the pictures of the room so I can know what it looks like and kindly tell me little about your self.

Hi Sandra
Thank you for your interest in my Monaro.
I am reluctantly selling my pride and joy to down size to a smaller car.
I am not aware of any mechanical problems with the car.
The car is currently due for its 150000km service. Since the car is going to the NT it will have to go over the inspection pits before transferring the licence.
We live in Mandurah, West Australia which is 80 KM south of Perth.
We could if required deliver the car to a Perth courier address.
The number plate is a personal number plate and I will be taking them off the car and replacing them with WA Plates.
So if you wish to go ahead please deposit $21740 into our bank account

Thanks for taking the time to look at my property.
I am looking for a responsible person that can take a very good care of it. I am not after the money for the rent but want it to be clean all the time and the possible tenant will see the house as his or her own, and I hope that you can send me some personal information about yourself.
The condo is fully furnished with all necessary amenities (exactly like in the pics). It has dishwasher, washing machine and clothes dryer. The condo comes with two parking spots, a storage unit where you can deposit my furniture (if you don't like it and you want to use your furniture). Pets allowed. The monthly rent for the apartment is $1,100. This will include all utilities such as water, electricity, Internet, cable, parking etc. I am looking for someone to rent anywhere from 1 month to 5 years or more.
The only problem is that I had to move with my job to United Kingdom, London where I am now and I left the keys and contract already signed by me at a rental company and they will handle the rental process. They have a program that offers the tenant the possibility to check the apartment and makes sure that the tenant is fully satisfied with the condo.
If you want to know more about how this deal can work please get back to me ASAP and I will send you the details step by step.

Thank you for your reply.
I am glad that you are still interested in my condo and I fully agree to have you as my tenant. I will have to contact the rental company and provide them all the necessary information so they can start the rental process. For that I will need your full name and the address where you want to receive the keys and rental contract.
You will receive a notification from the rental company containing all the instructions that you need to follow. Regarding the rent payment, you will be instructed to deposit the first 2 months rent to the rental company. The keys and rental contract will be delivered by their agent at your current address same day the deposit is paid. You will be given a 5 days inspection period from the day you receive the keys and contract at home. If you are satisfied with the apartment you will have to complete the rental process with the company. After you move in the apartment, the monthly payment will be sent directly to my bank account.

Hi. We received this email about a vehicle we have advertised on trademe. I thought it was too good to be true so fortunately before sending any bank account details and by googling the email address this web site came up with it as a scam.

Hi Rebeca
I would not be happy selling the motor home unless you were able to come & see it in person & test drive it.
The previous owners did tour the South Island in it. I purchased it in Tauranga and drove it down to Christchurch May 2011. I lived in it on a caravan park for about 4 months when I came down to help with the rebuild of Christchurch. Since then it has been used infrequently for contactors to stay in when we were very busy. It is an older model and not the most powerful of engines, but has many extra features that others do not have.
When would you be looking to purchase it?
Regards
From: "Rebeca Kingsley" <rebecakingsley gmail.com>

Am I not able to meet with an agent and make payment and sign contract and receive keys at the same time as I'm not willing to send money through western union knowing it's untraceable when you send money (I've dealt with western union before) . This all doesn't seem right and I'd rather meet with an agent or have a contract sent first as this seems like a scam . Sorry if I'm wrong but having a son and another one on the way I'm not willing to lose out on that kind of money .

I just received the confirmation from the rental company that your application has been approved.
They said that they sent you a notification with all the information you need to continue with the rental process, please let me know if you did received it. You can check the application status on their website http //rent-inc zxq net/LeaseVerification html with lease id 589XXX43
You have to confirm the deposit payment so they can send the keys and you can go and check the apartment. The deposit must be confirmed in no more then 48 hours or the application will expire.
I have to give you a tip about the payment. You were requested to make a transfer with Western Union.
With this company you can send money to friends, family, and also pay your bills and rent, I suggest that when you make the transfer, you tell them that you are sending the money for a friend or relative. This way the Western Union fee will be around 50 $, if you tell them that you pay for a rental company the fee can be 5 times higher because they have special services for rent payments. I hope this will help you save some money. Anyway you don't have to worry about this because you will be fully refunded in case you don't want to rent the apartment and also this is just for deposit, the monthly rent will be paid directly to my account no charges. I look forward to receive news from you and from the rental company so you can move in the apartment as soon.
Thank you!

i will like to buy your item listed for sale on trademe,pls get back to me now with the lowest price and condition on my email address: rebecakingsley gmail.com
On Sun, Mar 17, 2013 , John Doewrote:
Hi Rebecca,
thank you for your enquiry.
As per our advertising the price is either a $6500 deposit, which immediately secures your shareholding in the ownership company, and the $4875.00 monthly amount during the build/launch process of 12 payments. OR I could do the the full 10% share ownership for half now half on launch at a discounted price of $60K (thats $30 +$30K) OR a one off payment of $55,000 with no loss of any entitlements, initial full use availability of vehicle when in town until launch.
I am at present preparing a folder with as much information as possible on the build process and how this is managed. I should be able to email this to you soon and am waiting on the final contract regarding the shared ownership agreement for the boat.Meanwhile there is a lot of information regarding the boat and its pedigree on the Australian fusion site.
Thanks for your enquiry Rebecca and I look forward to hearing from again.
Kind Regards

PS: i will pay you full payment once
On Mon, Mar 18, 2013, John Doewrote:
Hi Rebecca,
It will be awesome to have you on board!
What I will require is the name in which you want the ownership share of the boat in.
I mean will it be your name? or a company name?
I also need a physical address for this registration as the boat will also be registered with a "NZL" number which is like a car registration number so that it adds extra security and identification for your protection, insurance etc.
I will sort out the bank details and send through to you soon.
If you let me know what name and address you wish to appear on the invoice/receipt and to appear in the share registry then that is all that is needed at the moment.
kind regards
John.

I was just about to pay when i had this little problem with the picking up,my pick up agent says i will need to pay for the pick up before they can schedule a pick up time,they charged me $2000 for pick up and delivery,and payments for pick up made through them is made to their corporate international headquarters which is in United States of America and the payments is made through western union money transfer,i will add the $2000 to the money i will send through the transfer as soon as i have made the payments.
I will email you and let you know and please i will need you to help me send the money to my pick up agent Headquarters in USA through western union money transfer,this can be done at any western union section at the post office,there is always western union money transfer section in most post offices.
On Mon, Mar 25, 2013 at 4:48 PM, John Doewrote:
Hi, so this is pick ups meaning the cost of the transfer of the money? I presume.
Would your trading bank not do this for a smaller sum perhaps.
There is no physical collection of any goods at this end obviously.
Just paperwork that will be emailed or couriered.
We havent had any issues with the transfer of funds form Australian banks as they own ours mostly anyway.
No worries, keep me posted.

Hi There,
Vehicle is still for sale. The car is in pretty good condition. The paint has faded a bit due to being red. The only damage to the car is a small rip in the drivers seat (has been stitched up and can be covered with seat covers) also at the front where the number plate goes there is a minor dent (someone reversed into me with tow bar) it can be replaced for about $50-80 at wreckers but I never worried about it. My dad is a mechanic so the vehicle has been serviced regularly and he also re built the motor about 1.5 years ago. It's been in our family for about 10 years and I have never had any problems with it. Very reliable. I will consider any offers.

I just finished paying for the car, please check your e-mail folders for the receipt that would be sent to you by the payment company, I made an additional $1,500 which is for freight of the car, I'll be needing you to help me here by helping me to send the money over to the Freight Agents through Western Union because I am not allowed to go out of my jurisdiction at the moment so I am not able to send the money to the agent by myself because I will need to get into a Post Shop to use Western Union and none of those things even works here.
Here is the courier details which you're required to send the money to,
Vincent Hudson
3 Jalan Desa
Kepong
Kuala Lumpur
52100
Malaysia
More details about the payment should be on the emails you will receive, please read the emails carefully and understand the procedure if there is any, I would like to you give the address which you would like the car to be collected.
A Pleasure Meeting You.

I will not be paying any money, or sending any overseas to receive payment. it was never part of the deal, you were going to put the money direct into my bank and have the car picked up ur self. and paypal was never mentioned. This is just too dodgy.
please do not bother me again.

Hello,
Thanks for getting back to me, I am happy with the condition and the price. I will be paying directly through Bank to Bank transfer or via PayPal. I'm currently working overseas in the Mining Outskirts of Bosnia with my Company euro max resources so I wont be able to come and do things personally,But I'll make sure that all costs will be fully covered by me and I will arrange for the pick up and document changes. I have a Courier agent that handles this all the time. I'll add the 4.6% paypal surcharge to the total amount I'm paying you. If you could just send me a paypal payment invoice or create an account at www paypal com if you don't already have one. I will make a confirmed pick up arrangement with my Courier shipping agent who will be coming over for pick up once you receive full payment into your Bank account or your PayPal account. My shipping agent will handle everything perfectly & take care of all documents whenever they come for the pick up, as I mentioned before I have used them before and trust that they know exactly what they are doing.
Please can you provide me with the following information:
Name
PayPal Email address
Cell Phone No
Total Amount
Or
Account Name
Bank Name
Account Number
IBAN
Total Amount
As soon as you get back to me with the info I will make the payment and instruct my agent to handle all documents and pick up. Excited to be dealing with you.

I was selling a car on Trademe last week. A guy sent me an Email saying he is from UK and was interested in buying my car. As a sailor, he only uses internet “PayPal” money transfer system for business. I registered a “PayPal” account, and immediately received an Email from Service paypal.com saying they had deducted the money from the buyer (inc. shipping fees) but the payment is on hold until I pay for the shipping fees $1000. The buyer then told me that he cannot make the payment to his shipping company in UK, so I need to do his a favour to pay the fee. At that time, I didn’t realize the transaction ID that the “PayPal” has sent to me was fraudulent. As the second attachment shows, that fake “PayPal” guy told me that the buyer required to have $1000 paid to a guy called “James Adele” in UK (Shipping company) via Western Union.
Since I am not familiar with “PayPal” system, I had trusted them that my money was on hold, so I did what they told me to do for releasing the buyer’s payment. When they asked me to pay for the shipping insurance fees again to James Adele, I felt there was something not right. Therefore, I went to PayPal website and check for the validation of the transaction, but I sent out the money to them before the reply from the real “PayPal” people come back and said I have been tricked by internet scams.

Hi Andrew,
I’ve just had its WOF and registration fees sorted a couple of weeks ago for you. Also, I did a full car service, (inc. engine wash) at that time as well. There is nothing much you need to worry about, but a bit scratches on the right front of the vehicle and wheels, (‘cause I am not an excellent car parker). If you're really keen, as I told other potential buyers as well, I can offer a 100 bucks discount for these little flaws, so it finally comes up with $9400. By the way, to maintain a good condition of the engine, I recommend you to use premium petrol.
Hopefully I answered all your questions.

Hello,
Thanks for your response. $9.800 NZD is a nice and accepted price. I will be adding the 3.9% PayPal surcharge to the total amount i will be paying you. So i will be paying directly into your PayPal account without any delay, and i hope you have a PayPal account. If you have one already, just send me the address to send it to, which is the email address you use for it or you can send me a PayPal money request, so once i receive the details i will go ahead with the payment through PayPal and then i will contact my shipping company after you get the payment. I will need your home address for the merchandise to be Picked Up by the Shipping Company. I want you to know that i have made an arrangement with the courier company coming to pick up the merchandise and i signed a note of authorization with them so their courier representative can sign for the necessary documentation on my behalf.
So concerning the issue of the documentations of the car and the signing, I want you to know that an arrangement has been made with a courier company to pick up the merchandise and the representative coming will bring along the copy of my identification for you to have full data to make the change of ownership and the representative will be the signatory to the documents as I have signed a note of authorization with his company I await your mail.

Oh, I didn’t realize you are not local in Wellington. Thanks for choosing to purchase my vehicle, but I’ve never used PayPal before. If you are ready to pay me now, I can register an account in PayPal for this purchase tonight, and hopefully we can sort the payment out by tomorrow. By that time, we can then discuss how to sort all the relevant documentations out with your representative. Does it sound all right to you? Sorry, I am pretty new to this process.

I had a look at PayPal last night and found we’re not too familiar their system. To take it easy, can you ask anyone you trust (e.g. your representative) to come and check my vehicle, including test driving, please? What I prefer doing is you ensure everything is acceptable before shipping to UK and pay me directly to my ASB bank account which I can provide you later.

Hello,
I want you to know that this is very easy to understand not the matter of underage once you are old enough to cash out your money from the paypal.What is there is that paypal has approved the payment and it has been removed from my account and it is on pending to your account due to the condition that the transport company gave to me that they will need to confirmed there transport charges to pick the auto up from your home.and all the charges is to be transferred to there head office in United Kingdom.
I should have made the transfer through western union myself but i am not with my credit card to transfer the money to them online and there is no way i can do that here on sea cause i am sailing right now.so i hope you understand my point.
So about your own money,it has been confirmed but i need you to help me transfer the charges to the transport company first in U.K through western union so that is the reason i made the additional payment to your account and i include the charges the western union you charge you and once you have get the money transfer and my bank has confirmed that, they will get your account credited immediately.
So i will wait to read back from you soonest.
Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my property.
I am looking for a responsible person that can take a very good care of it. I am not after the money for the rent but want it to be clean all the time and the possible tenant will see the house as his or her own,
and I hope that you can send me some personal information about yourself.
The condo is fully furnished with all necessary amenities (exactly like in the pics). It has dishwasher, washing machine and clothes dryer. The condo comes with two parking spots, a storage unit where you can deposit my furniture (if you don't like it and you want to use your furniture). Pets allowed.
The monthly rent for the apartment is $1,240. This will include all utilities such as water, electricity, Internet, cable, parking etc. I am looking for someone to rent anywhere from 1 month to 5 years or more.
The only problem is that I had to move with my job to United Kingdom, London where I am now and I left the keys and contract already signed by me at a rental company and they will handle the rental process. They have a program that offers the tenant the possibility to check the apartment and makes sure that the tenant is fully satisfied with the condo.
If you want to know more about how this deal can work please get back to
me ASAP and I will send you the details step by step.

WOW that is an amazing offer! My partner and I have a child and I would of course store all of your precious items in you storage locker and you will see that my references reflect my looking after places very well.
What are your expectations of bond and rent in advance etc? We are looking for long term but this could move at any given time if you had to come back.
If, like I said, the property of not suitable for children in your eyes, I will understand completely.

Thank you for your reply.
I am glad that you are still interested in my condo and I fully agree to have you as my tenant. I will have to contact the rental company and provide them all the necessary information so they can start the rental process. For that I will need your full name and the address where you want to receive the keys and rental contract.
You will receive a notification from the rental company containing all the instructions that you need to follow. Regarding the rent payment, you will be instructed to deposit the first 2 months rent to the rental company. The keys and rental contract will be delivered by their agent at your current address same day the deposit is paid. You will be given a 5 days inspection period from the day you receive the keys and contract at home. If you are satisfied with the apartment you will have to complete the rental process with the company. After you move in the apartment, the monthly payment will be sent directly to my bank account.
If you wish to proceed with renting the apartment please provide me your full name and Address so I can initiate the process through the rental company right away, and of course please make sure that you have the deposit payment ready.
I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you for your time and nice cooperation.

It's a good little car and I wouldn't be selling if my partner hadn't have bought a new one. It appears you are in the UK - is that correct? How soon would you be in Sydney to check out the car?

Hey there, I recently discovered what I believe to be a scam on the website Gumtree. On that site I found an advertisement for a flat. I made enquiries and before long the 'owner' (going by the name Aiden Baudin with the email aidenbaudin hotmail.com) was saying that he has recently moved to London because, as a vascular surgeon, he has just gotten a job at London Bridge Hospital. Therefore, in order for me to receive the keys I must provide my details and a security deposit of $1200 to a UK based shipping company called OLX removals (www olx-removals com). The website actually looks very legitimate. I know how dodgy the story sounds on paper, but I find it hard to believe that OLX Removals does not actually exist. Anyway, I contacted them and they confirmed that Aiden Baudin is a customer, that they provide escrow transactions and basically corroborated his story. I then called up the owners of the building in which the apartment is and they said that no one by the name Aiden Baudin owns any property there, though they cannot rule out the possibility that he does because it could be owned under a company name. I then emailed London Bridge Hospital who told me that there is no one called Aiden Baudin consulting for them.

I really do not want you getting worked-up about the delay in the arrival of the payment as I am all too aware that it will soon arrive. With the risk of sounding like a broken record, I wish to state clearly that in as much as I can not tell you unequivocally the day it will arrive; i can in any case certifiably tell you that you will receive it possibly before next week is out.

I only want to prove your trust for me but to show the quality of your character as a person and as an employee.

Today 30/1/2013 I received what i believe to be three fake Australian Money Orders each for the sum of $950.00, one dated 30 November 2012 and two dated 10th December 2012.
I did not reply to the last three emails but did send email saying that i had reported this as a scam to Gumtree and that i would take the money orders to the police because there was no return address.
I have also reported this on ORB (the Online Reporting Button) .
Hi, two weeks ago I setup my profile with a website called Badoo. Via this website a guy claiming to be Hayden Algorri, contacted me and we have been in email contact since then. His initial contact with me in the beginning was to get to know me, and he now knows everything about me and my family. He said he was based in Libya.
Anyway recently he emailed me and said that he will be going on a mission and that he needs a military phone to communicate with me and that the phone will cost 300 USD.
Then he contacted me this week on Thursday and said he has a secret he needs to reveal to me. He emailed me yesterday and told me about this secret of which I attach I copy of the email. Hayden is with Yahoo messenger his ID is algorrih his email address is algorrih yahoo.com
He said he is Seargent Major based in Libya he and his patrol ran into a building, he claims belonged to a Dr Kareem. He said him and his solder friends 5 of them found a box hidden in the ground and in the box was 100-US dollar bills which amounted to 17.5 million USD. He said that his soldier friends were killed in the war and he is the only surviving party of this so-called box. Before his friends died, they had the money transported to Nigeria, and the money was stored in valuable goods and that the security firm do not know that money is stored in these valuable goods. He said all he needs is for me to get in contact with a barrister called Andrew Barker, his email address barrister.andrewbarkerr lawyer.com and he then advised that Andrew Barker will contact me for further instructions. Then I received an email from Andrew Barker who advised in order for the goods to be released from the Security firm he needs to two forms of ID of the following: international passport number, National approved Identity card, recent passport photo graph, receipt of last tax bill or bill payment. Andrew advised, you are to provide two of the above stated document as its mandatory. I did respond to Andrew Barker and that I will provide the required documents.
I came to my senses and told Hayden I don't believe him.
Then Hayden claims that Andrew will then organise for the valuable goods to be transported to NZ, and he said an American diplomat will deliver the goods to my address.
Last week a Captain in the US army, his name Miller found me on Badoo. I told the Captain about this so-called Hayden, and he told me to be careful because lots of African men taking US soldier ID to take advantage of vulnerable and dumb women like me. He had Hayden investigated and he said that the real Hayden Algorri serves for the US army, and apparantly his ID has been stolen by some African man.
I have attached a letter by Hayden by his so-called 17.5 million & letter by the barrister Andrew Barker, & I have attached Messenger conversation between me and Hayden on the 19/01/13.

Hi there, I clicked that this was a scam only because I keep getting emails from this person from different email addresses, this time a hotmail address! At first , I replied because I didn't think advertising on a website for a room through a Australian website for flatmates was a target! I had found that the "real" Jane is on facebook, and It doesnt say she works for Qantas!!
When I received this last email I became more concerned as this person has attached a NZ passport and photos.

The Department has been contacted by a New Zealand company advising the following:We are having issues with fraudulent sign ups to our Network where stolen NZ driver license details are being used to apply for service.
One of the Customers whose license was used in an attempt to gain service has advised he applied for a job on Gumtree: view the job advertisement .pdf (125k)* where he was required to send copies of his ID then he heard nothing back.
We suspect this person (and other scammers) is obtaining identity information from unsuspecting victims with the intention to use the information to obtain various services.
The Department has been made aware of a Facebook scam offering Woolworths, Coles, Bunnings and Harvey John gift vouchers if you follow 'three simple steps" . The following is taken directly from the website farmonline.com.au:
Fake Woolworths, Coles and Harvey John gift vouchers are circulating on Facebook in what the retailers warn is a scam designed to collect personal information.
The $400 or $500 vouchers have spread quickly because of what appears to be endorsement from Facebook friends. Complicating matters is the fact the retailers often have real gift voucher competitions running on their official pages.
“Please be aware there are some possible email, survey, website and Facebook scams currently circulating using the Woolworths name and logo,” a Woolworths spokesman said on Tuesday.
“These 'phishing' scams illegally imitate well-known brands to try to collect customers' personal information.”
The scams direct people to a website, for instance Woolworthsfree.net or harveynorman.org, offering free gift vouchers to those who follow three “simple steps”. The site has a counter that appears to show the vouchers rapidly running out in real time, “thank you” comments from what appear to be real Facebook users and a section claiming more than 6 million people have liked the page so far.
Software architect Troy Hunt, who uncovers online scams on his blog, wrote that the “sense of urgency”, apparent popularity and air of authenticity attracts unsuspecting victims. He said he had analysed the code line by line and all of this was fake. He said he believed the scammer was located in Albania and this meant it was difficult for authorities to tackle the scam.
“People in Australia being scammed by a guy in Albania using a server hosted in Germany. Who do the cops speak to?” Mr Hunt wrote. “My experience talking with the authorities about the call centre scammers shows that things like this just get filed away in the 'too hard' basket.” The fact victims are asked to share the scam with friends to claim the “prize” means it can spread quickly through social networks.
Woolworths first warned its customers about the fake vouchers months ago but has recently put up another warning on its Facebook page as customers keep being duped and many blame the retailer.
“Not happy. Since entering this competition my inbox has been spammed daily with offers from all sorts of companies despite ticking the box saying I didn't want to be contacted,” one victim wrote on Friday. “I fell for it because they used your name, but don't know how to report it. It seemed legit because I have entered real Woolworths competitions before. Still I am wiser now.”
Woolworths said it would never ask customers for their personal or banking details in unsolicited communications. It said all of its official competitions were run from its own Facebook page and were also posted on the promotions and competitions page of woolworths com au.
Coles also issued a warning on its Facebook page this month notifying customers of the scam.

Hello Jane, thanks for getting back to me. I do hope I can count on you as my son’s care provider. You can also be our long-term caregiver because we are on the verge of relocating to Palm beach gardens, FL. Will be putting up in a hotel pending when am able to get a house to buy.
I am willing to pay $15 per hour and I will need you from 10 am to 6 pm daily. I am not sure if I added this to my first email, but I am also hearing impaired.
Jason is currently in a wheelchair due to an accident he had a few months ago from which we lost his father. Although he can walk a few steps, the specialist has advised to use the chair for a while.
I am planning on getting him a power wheelchair upon our arrival. Please get back to me with the your following information so I can to know more about you.

Thank you for the details. You will be paid for his snacks/food daily or at the end of each week (which ever you prefer). When we arrive, I will make provisions for him to be home-schooled.
I was in Florida about six months ago and had a caregiver who lived in Homestead, FL; however, she moved to Spain with her husband about three months ago. I had booked a nanny, and on arrival, she told me she got another job, which was a big disappointment.
For this reason, my conscience arrived at paying (DEPOSITING) you for the first week of your service before our arrival and securing the date, so I can be absolutely sure you will care for my son. I want to make sure things go perfectly without disappointment.
I am planning on having the wheelchair seller deliver it to you immediately after payment, so you can have it ready for my son on our arrival since the seller lives in Florida. I hope that isn't a problem? I will be looking forward to your email to ensure we are on the same page.
Thanks once again,

Good morning, A couple of days ago I was asked to ‘friend’ a work colleague and accepted the invite, this account depicted a photo of her. However this account is a duplicate by some scammer – the attached message was sent to me this morning. The person, on reading my final message instantly deleted and blocked our ‘friendship’.
Jane Doe: How as your night
ME: I was home last night so it was quiet and full of sleep. You?
Jane Doe: Oh i see. Did you heard the great news
ME: No, what news?
Jane Doe: Did you heard about ibc company
ME: No
Jane Doe: Really? Did you know that i got $300,000 from ibc company and i saw your name when they came delivered me my money
Did you receive any money yet because i saw your name when they came delivered me my money?
ME:Nope, not me. So where's my money?
Jane Doe: You need to contact the ibc manager so that you can get your money deliver. The ibc manager name is donovan. You will add him online and talk to him?
ME: sure thing, send me his contact details, and his phone number, I'll give him a call and get it organised
Jane Doe: they dont use phone for security reason. You wil add him online and talk to him. click here to contact the ibc manager so that you can get money deliver http //www facebook com/donovan.cresdee.3

Hello, I was met a guy "Cosimo King" through online dating (below are a couple of emails from him) and I thankfully goggled his name and stumbled across this scam section. I was on NZ Dating, and I tried to look up Cosimo’s user name but it had been disabled as soon as I was messaged. He sent me his email address telling me that they don’t go on NZD often and emails were a more reliable way to communicate. I understood the logic as I have made many friends off NZD (who I have now met) and we did the same thing.
I just wanted to show a couple of examples of what he sent in case someone is emailing a scammer so they can see the kind of messages that these 'people' send to make you fall for them. I will send more in when he starts asking me to cover plane tickets or whatever he 'suddenly' needs money for.

Subject: Re: Hello,
Dear Jane
It was nice to hear from you and thank you very much for the informative note, I do appreciate your openness.Am pretty new at this online thing, I do receive loads of msg but they just wouldnt grab my attention, I just wouldn't read them anyway. I'm big believer in what is worth doing at all is worth doing well and wouldn't spend a second of my time on anything that doesnt interest me...
I say what needs to be said and don't stew up on things" I prefer to listen than speak, I only do when necessary :). I hope those expressions tells you a little more about me.. I'm sure you've been through one thing or the other yourself but am glad you've not given up.
I have been on my own for a number of years, and this is a very different way of meeting people but here I go anyways. I am not here looking for a weekend woman , I am here in search for a woman that will make me the kind of man i wanna be and I'll do the same for you.
Its not about AGE, distance/ Location, outlook, religion, size, etc Its about true and sincere heart and understanding. Love surpass miles/distance. I have no problem relocating for the true love, because with love and peace everything it possible and i do believe you and I are able enough to overcome/overtake the distance by power of true love.
I was born in Otago NZ , lived there till I was 3 and moved to Greece with my Mother, after their separation, I was always back and fort to London where I got married with my late wife , Then later I finally relocated to New Zealand where i am now . I'm a petrochemical Eng by major but I am independent contractor/entrepreneur deals with supplying oil and gas service and maintenance equipments ,with my own skilled group of casual worker.I work on project bases.
I have came across a few bad apples and I understand thats just a part of human that is inevitable, like I said. I really do feel comfortable and free with you despite the fact that we've not met and this really means lots to me because I;ve never felt this way about anyone in a long time.
I understood just about everything you talked about and I do appreciate your time, I find this online thing to exciting but risky and most importantly adventurous, it takes a little more of a dreamer to realize and make the best of it and thats why I decided to let my guards down a little. I dont wanna sound strange but you cross my mind more than often and itching to know all about you.
Thank You
Cosimo.

Dear Jane,
You have no idea how much i always long for your email and I really have no word to describe how i feel whenever I read your note, I felt your energy close to me, Your presence is awesome here and so strong and deep, Always feels good to hear from you, again your your note always fills my heart with hope and joy.
I seek mutual relationship with you base on mutual trust, respect, sincere, honest, faithful. Lets look into the future together , I sense a great and happy things and I know there is a victory ahead of us . Since i grown up in Greece, I still have my accent and will stay for ever with me .
I believe true and sincere relationship doesn't count/base on distance or whatever, its count and based on true and sincere heart, Im will do anything for true love at any cost . I will visit you soon and have a candid talk regarding the distance and others issue, I have no fear because You and I are able to overcome/Overtake the distance, Not a barrier that we can't break.
Here is my plan, I have a supply project to carry out in Malaysia, I will be supplying Heavy duty maintenance and Industrial Equipment & Components to a client and we have reached agreement, So I will be leaving for Malaysia on Tue 16 Oct, 2012. And i have made up my mind Upon completion of the supply , I will book my onward return flight ticket to you and be with you, so that we can hold one on one candid discussion together regarding our feelings life ahead of us, there is a lot to talk about and I can't wait to be with you .
I speak Greek and English. Things that am proud of, My late mom how she raised me well. proud of who I am and my son is another thing. Things do I feel passionate about; Passion for peace around me and the world, I dislike violence against anything or anybody and the situation I live in doesn’t have to live in me and don’t let yesterday take up too much of today. We all carry pain, wounds and memories, stored in bodies, from past, set them free. I believe the last of the human freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances because happiness doesn’t come from our circumstances, but from the way we think about them.
What do I want most from life; Every day above ground is a great day, keep goodness apart that is may not touch vanity. I would like to take myself to where I feel peace and nurtured, reconnect to find ways that can help heal me to do more good things to help others. External life is about the shadow of the inner reality.
I mean what i say and i say what i mean, I am a man of my word and I don't say words for saying sake or purpose, I will always watch over my words not to returned to me VOID, Though i'm not perfect, but i'm honest man. How many Language can you speak? What three things are you most proud about? What things do you feel passionate about? What do you want most from life?
I have true and sincere feelings for you just likes the Rains fall, winds blow, the sun shines. it all comes naturally, Though it might sound very very crazy, stupid and silly to ur hearing.
I am highly interested learning more about you and take things to next level. Mutual communication is very vital for successful and productive relationship. Again I have no interest in head games. I value my time and others. I will try write you on my transit or shall i write you priority as soon as i arrive in Malaysia.
Regards,
Cosimo.

Sweetheart Jane , I love calling your name Jane
Thank you for the, hotels information and thank you for having faith and trust in me I will not hurt/harm in any way and i will not leads you to somewhere that is not safe.. I will keep you update as soon as i get my project done here, I can't wait to be with you.
There is a lot to talk about face to face.I shall give you more details as my project progress. Any of the hotel in your town will do me, I just want to be with you there, talk face to face, learn more about oneself, I want to hold your hand , look you at your face and speak from bottom of my heart to your heart, How much i want this and serious with you.
I got to say , There is really something about you and there is no way i cant explain how i feel. I actually think every minute about what I could write you to tell you how much you mean to me..How happy I am that you came into my life.
I don't know, there actually aren't really the right words to express it...because even the most loving and best words aren't enough to express how happy I am and what I feel for you.and I swear to you with all my heart that I will do everything, really everything to make you as happy as you make me.
And that's true as well, we became very close in a very short time..but I think only because we both feel that it's right, we both know that it feels right for us and we know that for neither of us it's a game or an adventure...we have enough experience to know that..and yes it's true, you have the same expectations in a relationship as I do and that's why I know it'll be wonderful.I'm so sure about that....and I really really wish and hope that everything will work out well..I just want to be with you and that forever.all these things you named .
I'm looking forward to having you with me so much.when I can finally feel you near..My love for you is endless..I'm so sure that the first time we'll meet and everything after that will be so wonderful.

I don't have a paypal account. Everything I have sold over the net has been to people within NZ so it's just been cash etc but I'm 1 step away from getting an account. Tomorrow I'll go to my bank and get a credit card so I can forward you the details. It would have been done but for some reason the registration process with paypal won't accept my current credit card number. Maybe it's because I only have a visa debit card. Not sure but thanks for you patience.

I have just completed the Payment of the car and i am sure you have received the confirmation from PayPal regarding the Payment, you can check your paypal e-mail for confirmation of payment. I want you to send me your address so that the pick up can be arranged, the car would be picked up by the Courier Company(ASPED EXPRESS) which I've been using for a while and they're very reliable. I made an extra payment of $1,153 and i am sure you noticed that, you'll have to send the extra amount to the Shipping Company through Western Union right away, so that they can come ahead for the pick up and also you should send the necessary Western Union Payment Information. I will need you to send the excess fund to my pick up agent Headquarters where they normally confirm any commission payment to via western union money transfer(this can be done from the post office, as they usually have a western union agent there). Here is my pick up agent Headquarter info needed to send the money through Western Union.

You should send the money soon so that the Pick Up would be scheduled and you would know when the Pick Up would commence, make sure you're home. I advice you to check both your inbox or junk/spam folder for the payment confirmation message.
So just make sure you send the extra amount to the Shipping Company right away so that your account can be credited immediately. It's Nice Doing Business With You. Get to mail me back soon with the venue of pick up. You can reach me at +447031946919

Hi, I think I have been a latest victim of being scammed by a person named Ahmed Ali in Accra, Ghana. I bought a phone from him for $300usd and he said he shipped it and also gave me a tracking number aswell (1349696422 : www.phdel.com). But after a day the called me up and told me that the New Zealand custom wants me to pay another $180usd and I do so but again he tells me that the New Zealand custom wants to know if I have an IBC card (international buying card) so I tell him no. He then tell me that I have to give him $300usd so that he can make me one. This all looked very suspicious so I called up New Zealand customs regarding this matter and they told me they don't even have the parcel and they don't ask money like that. So I will not be paying him anymore money but I have lost this much in this scam. Here is all the detail I have about this person:
phone number: +233260671264
western union detail: Name - Asor Praise Echeng
Address - 1818 mahogany ave
City - Accra
State - Accra
Country - Ghana
Zip code - 00233

I work at one of the accommodation providers that is advertised on an Australian website where you can buy cheap vouchers. A customer called up wanting to use the voucher she had purchased from the website and I had to tell her that we do not accept those vouchers and are not affiliated with that company. I tried calling the company however the phone number displayed on their website does not go through to anyone.This website is selling false accommodation vouchers and is not actually aligned with the accommodation providers it advertises.
Please be cautious when purchasing vouchers for anything off a website. Check that the organisation you are getting the voucher for will honor it.

Hi Ebora, the car's body is in excellent condition, apart from a few very slight, shallow scratches on the outside, which can hardly be seen. It has never had any structural damage and been serviced regularly for its entire life by a registered Holden dealer.
It never has any problems; for example, at the last warrant check, I only had to replace a light bulb and put water in the windscreen washers. It's been kept in a garage for 90% of its life.
I may be willing to move a little on the price, if you can point out a good reason. Basically, I priced it based on other similar cars that are currently for sale, but a bit lower.
Let me know if you'd like to have a look at it, I will be around all day today and tomorrow.

Hi:
You enquired about the B4. Yes, it’s still available.
I’m attaching a pdf file that gives additional details on the car. Pictures and dyno chart you’ve already seen on Trademe. WOF is to be renewed on Tuesday. The AA inspection report is available to view with the car.
I will be out for the afternoon, but if you’re still interested you can give me a call this evening.

Hello Ebora:
The sale can't be completed until the WOF is updated on Tuesday but then it's just a matter of completing payment and completing the transfer forms online.
For price and body condition, best thing is for you to see the car in person. Where are you located? You can view in Lower Hutt tomorrow, if you like. If you decide you want to buy, a $1000 cash non-refundable deposit will hold the car until sale can be completed next week.

Hi Ebora:
I think we can make this work. I do indeed have a Premier Paypal Account, but it has not been used in a few years and I need to make sure it’s properly set up to receive your payment. I will get back to you tomorrow once I’ve done that.
Meanwhile, I gather that you are outside of New Zealand and your agent will be shipping the vehicle to you in another country. If that is the case, the sale will be without NZ registration transfer, but I will need to contact our Motor Vehicle agency to clarify the rules for sale.
For that purpose, could you please provide your complete name, mailing address and phone number as “buyer”.
Also, I understand that you agree:
1. To pay the purchase price of $19,500 in New Zealand Dollars by Paypal.
2. To make your payment such that Paypal fees for receiving payment in NZ and for any currency exchange are covered by you.
3. On receipt of your payment, the vehicle will be available for your nominated agent to pick up, but will NOT be registered for operation on New Zealand roads and the registration plates will be removed.
I will cooperate with your agent, but you will be responsible for any export fees, inspections, etc.
I think all of the above is what you intended. Paypal fees can be a little tricky, but your challenge will be to ensure that the full amount arrives in my Paypal account, despite their various fees.
It is important that we move quickly to complete this sale, as I am leaving on a 2-week business trip to Europe next Saturday. If the deal is not complete before I leave, there will necessarily be a delay until I return.
I’ll write to you again tomorrow, once I’ve confirmed that my Paypal account is ready to receive your payment.
Very best regards,
Jane Doe

Hello again Ebora:
I think I have the Paypal account sorted, so please go ahead with your transfer. Remember to send the payment in NZ dollars and to request payment of transaction and any currency exchange fees from your account so that the full $19,500 is available in my Paypal account.
My paypal email is: jane.doe email.com

I hope we can make this work and I’m sure you’ll be very pleased with the vehicle.

Hello There,
Am glad to receive your message today. Am totally new to this Online dating , am a Christian single seeking a faithful and fruitful relationship with A TRUE soul mate. I am single and never married. Have been single since i had caught my Fiancee red handed in my room sleeping with someone else. But i have erased there path from my heart we took to meet in life, i am 30 years old by age. I`m 5`7" with a athletic build , mentally stable, physically fit, a bunch of laughs, warm, caring, honest, good listening, God Fearing, and a positive person. I am real easy person to talk to and a good listener. I love to play Football and I enjoy chilling with my friends/family I like going to the movies , or watching movies in my room ,I am a family oriented person.
I just want you to realize that this time am going to take a chance for real conversation with you provided you are serious with your intention.With this little time, I’m going to take some time for myself looking for a soul mate. It is tough these days without having to deal with people just wanting to play or cheat. I have been jilted so much in some past relationship with men and my past relationship was nothing to write home about. I have never come across a sincere person and I wish i could be fortunate someday.
I always find it hard to believe that true love still exist due to my experience in my last relationship with my X though i did not allow that to turn me down completely, am still optimistic of a better future. I no there would be "A SUNSHINE SOMEDAY" .
I honestly want someone in my life, i don't want any Game or adventures and am open up to relocating to wherever i found my true love . I want a life time relationship with someone real...I need a Genuine and trustworthy man to spend the rest of life together. Someone who is ready to love me unconditionally and who is ready to share the life greatest joy and sorrow with me ...I don’t know if this is what you want as well. ..I need a man who will be always supportive and willing to give me an unconditional love.
I would be so glad if I could meet the person in you .I will like to ask you some questions :
(i) What do you suggest about relocation??
(ii) What sort of relationship do you want??
(iii) Can you give me a brief description of your personality??
(iv) What are you really looking for here and how do you treat your woman?
(v) When was your last relationship and how did you end it and why so?
I have attached some of my Pics for you and i hope that you like them. I will be waiting to see your own pics too. Talk to you later.

Dear John,
Am so glad to get your prompt response to my email . You impressed me so much with all I read in your email and it would be my pleasure to get more acquainted with you. Thanks for being honest in your words . I believe being analytical in my email would let you know some things about me and possibly meeting in person someday if God says we are truly meant for each other. The day I saw your profile,..it was brief and straight to the point.I could see that your intention of finding REAL love is somewhat True.
I have had some disappointments in some past relationship though I believe someday somehow what Goes up would surely come down. Thesedays, one must be very cautious before choosing a life partner in order not to regret eventually .The Chemistry of relationship could be related to a Computer term (GIGO)- meaning (Garbage in Garbage out) lol! It is very compulsory one takes a good time to study each other, learning about each other to discover some compatibilities.I believe through this medium we could only learn few things about each other but when we get together and meet in person we should be able to hit it off and see if the Chemistry would work out .
I will like to tell you some things about me and would love to know some more things about you .I love the out doors, I like bike riding, walks on the beach. I love to cook and also like to dine out. When I do cook I like to share it with someone, throw in a DVD and just enjoy the company. I like to travel as well. Hope to hear from you soon.

Hello John,
Thank you for this e mail as i have been waiting for you to send me long e mails again. You seems to enjoy our conversation through text messaging more but it cost me a lot to text you from here but its okay with me if that is the sacrifice i have to pay to talk to you for now. What more can a woman say to the man who opened his heart to her, allowing her to feel the warmth of his love across the great distance that separates them ? You truly have no idea what I feel for you right now.
I try to put this feeling into words, but fail miserably. This feeling of being both scared and at peace, of having both butterflies and a sense of calm, is a feeling that I have only dreamed about. As the days continue to pass, my love for you continues to grow. I never thought I had the capacity to love anybody as much as I love you right now. Yet, my love for you continues to mature, growing beyond the realm of my heart. It seems that you have become the fiber of my soul, the very reason for my existence.
I have no other words to describe the way you make me feel. No words, no actions could even come close. I believe that Ronald Regan said it best to Nancy in a letter, telling her only that, "I more than love you". Their love was a strong love, surviving everything, even death. I believe that even after his passing, Nancy felt Ronald's love for her raining down upon her. That is why she has always seemed at peace after the death of such a truly loving husband. That is the love that I feel for you.
Forever Yours,
Bridget
Dear John,
It is my great pleasure to hear from you today and based on the fact i gathered from your email i have been somewhat convinced you are real about this relationship issue. It would be my pleasure to come to you as soon as am through here in Malaysia I would like to spend Xmas period with you, i think by doing this, we will be able to know more about each other and move closer to each other as well. What do you suggest about that? Am pleased by the befitting answers you provided to my questions. It now sounds we both have some things in common. I have Listened to those songs and i love them so much especially the one from KC and Jojo saying that i have waited for you all my life. I got your Text messages and i will send you a reply as soon as i get credit on my phone.
I can vividly see honesty reflecting in your words and am gradually getting my heart committed. I do hope you wont let me down or break my heart when we get together eventually. I have developed some faith in you and i believe we should be able to take this relationship to another level when we get together.......You impressed me a lot and i hope and pray this have an happy end because you are all i have and want to be with and spend the rest of my life with as well. Thank God i met you at the right time.
Personally, I cherish happiness and Joy of soul. I need someone who will always make me happy, someone to call my lover ,a faithful and honest man who could play both fatherly and motherly role in my life,someone that would always make me feel loved, i don't have any problem for now, i have you and you will be there for me all the time and do more than i even expected. The major things that turn me off in relationship is DISHONESTY AND GAMES in the side of my opposite sex. I cherish honesty and transparency in any relationship and dislike a game player. I have fallen in Love with you and i cant hide it anymore and pls dont hurt me.
Love you Loads

I found a scam suggesting that Amazon is hiring - currently appearing on Facebook
view the ad on Facebook and the page clicking the link takes you to .pdf (372k)*
On Thursday night, 27th of September 2012, I was on my face book site and got a chat page from my friend in Australia, saying, "She won some money on Facebook Lottery and that they came to her door and delivered the money and that my name was on the list as well as winner. I was told to befriend Randy Benson Scott and I too will get the money."
I did that and Randy said "the facebook owner picked my name as winner." To get that money, I had to pay $1500. but I did not have that amount and he said just pay $1300. to Western Union in Nigeria, which came to $1384.00. the money was send to the address below.
Name Victor Williams,
address 12 Airport Road,
State. Logo,
city. NNPC. Nigeria,
code: 23437
their phone number: +2348062324183 and +23480623241
Paid the fee for the Lawyer as they said on Friday at 10am. Then they said the money is coming by Fedfax and brought to your door. Got a txt at 4am but did not reply, till Saturday morning. I was told that that guys are at Auckland airport and needing money for taxes. They were pressuring me for $1200. I told them no I do not have it. I said you help me out pay that fee and when I get the money I will pay you back. The reply was we will pay $500, and you pay $720. Again more pressure. So I rang the airport in the afternoon about 3pm Saturday. Spoke to customs, immigration and the Airport police and they did not have two guys being held up for taxes. With that I did not speak to them again though they keep ringing and txt even yesterday, Monday at 11.11 am.
I believed the post was my friend but now looking back, she was not talking how I know she does, they were posting as her.
The thing was I would be on Facebook talking to Randy in America and then I get a call on mobile from a guy thats sound Nigerian.
They have my email address and mobile number and Facebook password and home address. very silly thing to do and have posted a warning on my page on Face book.

The following TXT came from +447829791060. Forwarded because it seemed odd to find a UK buyer for my car advertised on TradeMe. I did not reply. I subsequently received an email from TradeMe warning that my listing had been viewed by a non-legitimate member. It appears that this is who sent me the TXT. Hope this is useful to someone. Regards.
I'm satisfied with the condition of your car on trademe, what is the final price so that we can discuss about the payment,email me on abolas18 gmail.com

Hello,Jane Doe how are you doing today i hope everything is going on well with you. I want you to know that we are already on way bring your money but right now we got blocked by the New Zealand Tax Collector and border protection and right now they are demanding us to pay for clearance before we can get the money to you so right now they are having the money with them and you know the money is sealed and cant be touched at all. So right now they want us to pay them the sum of $4,000.00 for clearance so right now you will have to pay the amount so that we can get your money cleared without any delay. So right now you will have to pay the money and let me know when you will send it and you will have to send it very fast so that they wont ask for demurage cos if we dont clear the money from them very fast they will ask us to pay demurage and i wont want you to pay that again.

"Jane" and her friend have now reported this to the Police and Bobby Bill continues to call both "Jane" and her friend on their cell phones.
I have befriended this individual who says he is an American army officer - just reading it he sounds nothing like an American with his writing. It seems clear to me that it is a scam. If I am sent a case of illegal something I will contact the police immediately.

Hello Jane
I am always glad to read back from you and my instincts sure tell me we are good match. There is an issue that has got me worried for some days now and i just thought now, why not share with you, as the saying goes" a problem shared, is a problem half solved"
On the 13th of November,2010 when the Taliban Insurgent attacked Afghanistan main airport, i was privileged to save a boy's life whose father, a wealthy Gold Merchant decided to reward me with 100 Kilo Gold Bar as personal Gift ( market worth of four million US Dollars).
However,i have a challenge which troubles my minds for some time now. My camp commandant is Anti Gay and he criticizes me a lot. He will seize the Gold Bar from me if he finds out and in order to avoid this,i plan to ship it ahead of our departure day from the camp as it approaches fast.
I want you to help me receive the GOLD BAR which i plan to ship through a private courier company here, i am willing to give you 30% of any amount that will be made from the sale of the GOLD BAR, but for now i just need to get this GOLD out of here, else i loose it completely.
I will gratefully appreciate your response so i can give you further details.
I earnestly look forward to your message.

Hello Jane
I am delighted that you are willing to help receive the Gold Bar. All i need from you is a receiving address, Name and phone number to which the courier company will ship the Gold Bar. Once i have these details, i shall proceed first thing tomorrow morning to the courier company by name Al Nasser Logistics - http //alnasserlogistics com to deposit the Gold bar for shipment to you.
I have meet with the Client service manager, Mr. Karim Alshear who explained to me that it takes 4-5 working days for the package to be delivered and necessary delivery information shall be provided, such as expected delivery date, tracking, etc
I await the Address, name and phone number so i can take it to the courier company first thing tomorrow morning an deposit the Gold Bar for shipment to you.
Thank you

I am buying this for my for my holiday, and i want it to be delivered before my arrival in NT . However,does it have any history I should be aware of? and why are you selling if you don't mind my asking and I will really appreciate if you can email more info and if possible more photos.
I am already in talks with the courier that will handle the pick-up and delivery to my family . As regards the payment, I can pay you through direct bank deposit,using ppal instant bank wire transfer service, I will need your bank details.If you are not comfortable with that, you can set up a paypal account proper at www paypal com au and I will make the payment through paypal, this way, all I will need is your paypal email address,so i can proceed with the payment and contact the courier agent who will come to pick it up and deliver it in my place.

Hi Kyle
The jet ski is in immaculate condition and there is nothing to worry about. I'm selling it due to I'm buying a house and need the extra money. They are the only photos I have I'm sorry.
Regarding your pick up, once the money has been transferred and I'm happy with it I will then release the ski to the agent. My PayPal is always_unco hotmail.com

I have just completed the payment and i expected paypal to have notified you to this effect.check your mail folders(inbox,spam and junk mail) i sent $18,400 in all.i added $1,600 but $1,500 will be sent to my agent in United Kingdom through western union at post office,the extra $100 is to cover the western union fee. Paypal said they will not release the fund until you email them the western union details for verification,and also to enable my pick up agent to come for pick up and inspection.Here is the agent's details where the money will be sent.
Ronald Smith,

Please get the necessary details sent to paypal (Money Transfer Control Number)MTCN and senders name and address used to send the $1,500 so that they can release the whole fund into your account.Please get back to me once done.

I was contacted by a "Alice Dzamesi" on date site "JapanCupid com" on 24th August 2012.
The first message was to use email, which I did and then I noticed "her" profile had gone. I had been corresponding at length for a week and exchanged photos. and texts. I did some checks and the address was Accra and the phone was African. I was wary and refused to sent money for the internet connection when asked quoting I had no spare money. I started doing a full check on Saturday 1st September when I noticed a text was 2 sent 10hrs different instead of the 12hrs for Ghana. Also the routing was from a UK message centre. I then checked other texts and found them to have come from 2 other centres. Then I found the IP routing for the emails were all different and when checked they came up as private. I thought this strange for someone claiming to be sat at a pc in her room. Sunday I have done a picture search and found most belong to a 19yr old Mexican adult entertainment star called "True Tere" and a family shot is actually from "EifinHugs Photostream" and has been doctored.
I was suspicious from day one which is why I was asking the questions.
I must say "Alice" was very convincing but I knew not to send money, not that I have any!
I spent the weekend checking things out and finding the photos was the prove I needed. I haven't disclosed to "Alice" that I know she is fake. I also had a text last night but I haven't chatted again.
This is the second email "Alice" sent me. Good indication that she was after something!

how are you doing how was your going over there? ..Thanks for the message. yes am working for the united state army what do you do for living as well ? I am really interested to know you more. I am happy with the honesty you have exhibited in telling me about yourself, I will never dispute your own thoughts and believe. Like you, I am looking for a serious relationship with a tendency of marriage, and it has also been hard to find that right person,but I can assure you when i find one,I am going to hold her in a high esteem. I will like to know if you are very serious about going into a relationship. If i may ask, are you ready to give love another chance to swallow you up ?
As i said, i will like to know more about you.
When is your birthday?
Mine is 2nd of september,and was born 1966,
What sort of food do you like? and what is your favorites? I love eating healthy but very tasty and i can cook quite well. My favorite food is sandwich. Do you also like it, and i also like Pizza, it's very cool to keep the morning going. I would hate to cook something you don't like or have allergies to ( i mean if we end up being each others answer to true love). No issues for me on that front.
How tall are you? I am (6'0).
Do you drink coffee,tea or something else? Me i go nuts for a good coffee or a cup of tea, my friends call me a coffee freak.
Do you enjoy sport, play or watch? I love a lot of things both armchair and active.
Are you a Coke or Pepsi fan or neither? I take drinks but not compulsorily Pepsi or coke, i love flavored water.
Do you drink alcohol? if so what? I'm pretty well behaved on that front as a social drinker, I love to take Irish Cream especially Baileys as my favorite, or sometimes a bit of ALIZE. Do you like a glass of wine with meal? I enjoy a glass of wine with meal, , a candle light diner on a table for two(ME AND YOU HOPEFULLY).
Do you like cuddling and romance? I love them to the core.
What are the qualities you like in a man?
What do you think about my career as a soldier, is it ok with you? ..
All my plans for now are based on meeting my soul mate ,and relocate to be together,then I can push forward some other areas of my life,because i believe having a soul mate and settling down as a family is part of the significant thing we have to do in life (let me know your opinion).
I am romantic by nature and loving by soul. I love to help others and love the laughter of children. I believe in love and all that comes with being in love. I am not your usual man in thinking that love is how many women you sleep with, but believe that being loyal and loving to one woman is what makes love special. I believe intimacy is special in both forms. So many make the mistake of thinking intimacy is the simple act of sex. But to me intimacy is the touching of two souls, the beating of two hearts as one.
Romance is a lost art these days and a lot of people often forget that the simple things in life are often the sweetest. How special it can be when two in love can simply swap a kiss, or share a walk hand in hand under a full moon. I do not pretend to be the answer to lost love, or the answer to everlasting romance. But l love with my heart and feel with my soul. I know what it means to love and to have lust. But without the feeling of pain we can never become wiser. I truly believe that for each of us we have someone out there ready to win our hearts. But without the risk their cannot be victory.
Comfort is my watch word and i am comfortable in my own skin .
I take pretty care of my self and i will do the same for my woman.
So in having expressed my inner thoughts and desires..hope to read from you pretty soon :)

Hi....how are you doing?
Your messages has really unleashed some unexpected feelings inside of me, that i am beginning to stay amazed like a kid, should i say it will be my privilege to have a may life, or should i celebrate that destiny has finally gotten me to my destination of true love, your words are zealous in nature and i feel it that you mean them.
You are a special type of a woman, you are amazing, i know your heart is truly love filled and honest.
I am Christian,I truly feel the same way about you.
I believe in true love and knows it exist, i also believe each one of us has our soul mates out there if we can locate them, i am ready to give love another chance to swallow me up, and ready for a life time commitment.
I will never take your heart for granted as it means alot to me, this i promise from the depth of my heart. I am ready to give every bit of my self as a commitment.
We share alot in common, i also love being creative and i admire the talent you've got in you, I am lucky I guess, all i have ever waited on, was meeting a woman of my dream, Now my feelings tell me you are the one, you are the one to accomplish my heart desire .
I want you to know their is nothing that is perfect in this whole wide world , so i am not into deceiving myself that i am going to meet a complete 100% my match,but a 90 will do, and you are just at that in my heart, the remaining ten percent will fill up when we are together to practice the chemistry part of our relationship, if we are both truly ready to build a relationship and live the rest of our lives together when we meet,we can both work towards that with assuring success, i am an optimistic type of person and do not believe anything is impossible, as we are and with what i have read from you, i know you are an adult of normal presence, a reasonable woman to be precise,women of your nature are not common and i know you are a gift bestowed on me to heal my broken heart, I know we are both going to find greatness in loving and living with each other, i am simple,open and easy to get on with, i have my whole heart filled with love which i am ready to give unconditionally to you if you will remain a promising woman, I will also need you to assure me that you will never break my heart,that is the worst thing that will happen to me again at this moment and it may lead to a havoc because i might not find a place in my heart to condone it.
My heart is tender and i have so much love to give like i fore said previously. i will care for you unconditionally if you will do the same to me too, this is my dreams, and i see it coming true with you and i know my heart will be glad when i get to you and i will have all cause to be happy having one of the best woman in the world.
I will be expecting to hear from you soonest, till then i will be thinking of your words cos it's so sweet and will hold you in a special place in my heart,hoping to be yours FOREVER. i will be expecting your email ... :)

Hello !
WOW WOW WOW ...
I really appreciated getting your email.
I was so cool to learn more about you.
I love soft music and the company of the one my feelings go right with(TURNING OUT TO BE YOU)!!!
So i am really looking forward to that On some our first weekends together, I will also like to go to the lakes where we can relax or go for walks, swim (if it is not too cold) we can explore some of the places in Your city, and spend time soaking in each others company.
I believe being supportive would be good for us as a couple to build a life that we want to share.
But when you are ready it is not something you have to rush out and do right away if you do not want to.
I will support and encourage you to become all that you can do and be, to fulfill your potential the way God created you. I will walk by your side and listen to your words and be supportive no matter what life may bring for as long as i have breath in this body of mine.
I am a couch potato some times it depends on the company if it means snuggling up next to you as my lover then absolutely! But i am not a couch potato in the lazy sense of the word.
I can also be a bit of a neat freak at times. I just like it to be easy, spontaneous and know we do not come back to an absolute mess (particularly if i am going to come back home to tired to tidy up).
I will like to go on trips during the summer months, we could go on trips away together for romantic weekends and just play tourists as it were, just explore the country together and melt together in each others company.
It is funny, part of me is a very excited, I have known of people who met their special half's online and i hope mine does not pass me by. That is why i have really tried to be transparent, with nothing to hide from you. As each day draws near i find myself having more interest in you and although it is not long we met each other , it seems like an eternity. But as you know God gives good things to those who wait and trust him, never let a moment of doubt creep in.
I will be faithful to you all the days of my life, i will always be there for you, and i will spend all my energy building the best relationship for us to share all the days that we live under Gods sun. So for now i say bye and not forever. will wait to read from you...

You are in my thoughts all the time. I'd tell you you're in my heart,,but I don't feel like that would be right, because my heart is not mine anymore -- it belongs to you.
You are sweet, loving, caring,I need you to know I am with you through everything, the bad and the good. I've given you my heart and I hope that you won't break it. Keep it and give it some loving from time to time.
Though the miles separate us, the bond we have is far stronger.
You are the very one I have spent all these years looking for. You make me smile. You make me laugh. You make me whole. I can not describe the giddy feeling I have when you are near or even when you cross my mind.
I am so amazingly happy and content and forever I want to spend in your life, in your world, in your family, and in your arms.

Subject: WHAT ABOUT LETTER
I’ve been thinking about letters recently. The real kind, long hand.
And how terrible it is that nobody’s writing them any more. And so I decided to start one to you. My vision of you, In mind you are a purple orchid... exotic, tender, passionate and wild. Untouchable, fragrant bloom of dark desires...evoking my deepest thoughts Lost in the dreamy wonder of an eastern forest...You are there among the whispering glades...of soft green bamboo....delicately embracing the moist warm air of night....A lover of another world...of fantasies ethereal, yet profoundly real.....Earthy...My chocolate sweetness in distant lands.....A darkened flower of refined passion...... My purple orchid... you are.
The abyss of my heart is enthralled by your undying love. I absorb your tender kisses with my lips. The a Capella beat of your heart, close to mine, Reigns everlasting and true. In the acclivity of my soul once more I whisper, ("Again, you will come").
The grandeur of your embrace, The beauty of your touch. I`ll take hold of your hand.....as we fly to heaven. My days are filled with sun, while passion rules the nights...and you there in my mind, never leaving my sight. Flowers on our table... flowers in my hair, petals on our bed, love everywhere. Kisses passed between two loving hearts...and promises that we will never part. Dreams I hold onto, grasping them close...knowing in my soul, I`m luckier than most.
Wanting you every where with me all the time as my love and my life, needing more than a dream, sometimes so much, it makes me scream. Come to me love ...live in my day. I`ll love you forever in so many ways.
I`ll give you the moon and take down the stars....I`ll live in your world, go where you are. Just whisper warm words close to my ear.. and I will give you forever. Three roses for you, my love, today...white perfection in a long stemmed creation. Fragrant, like a thousand perfumes everlasting, eternally blessed A gift of passion, Trinity...In our love... three elements, given.... Faith, Hope and Love.. Three precious gifts of light .
For love will be, undeniable, yet challenged.... A world of conflict and separation...attempting togetherness? Driven by wild attraction, determination. Faith in the possibility, happiness Living in partnership, sharing...hope in the future together, fulfilling Loving, unconditionally, provocatively...Two lives in evolution, sharing... Living in harmony adversity....Faith, Hope and Love....The three perfect roses for I await from a love This was strongly built for you from my heart.

I know you must have heard this,a million times before.
But girl here I am, I wanna say some more. It’s so amazing how you let me in your life. I’m so glad. Meanna know. Baby open the door to your heart let me enter. Your love is the purest thing that I ever felt. And being with you is the sweetest thing that I … that I ever dreamt. Take it from me. Hey With you is where I’ll rather be. And this are just some of the few things I wanna let you know. Climb the highest mountain and I will climb it with you. Baby believe, I’ll never let you go. Because with you is where I’ll rather be. And when you took my hand, you took me into the promise land. So girl, I promise I’ll be your man… I’ll be your man. Every time I go outside and I see the things outside. I always have to close my eyes to visualize what it feels like to be living in paradise. But when I read from you. And I look into your eyes through your picture, I never have to close my eyes to visualize what it feels like to be like to be living in paradise. This is no ordinary love. It’s an extraordinary feeling. Makes me wanna touch the ceiling. Make me feel like am flying. Make me want to be reveling. Cos I want you to be sure. That I’m not lying. There’s no denying. That I want you more and more. Every time that I’m around you, I hear gunshots no more. There’s peace all around me. You got me feeling like a don. So many things I wanna say to you. But I cannot find the words. Got me feeling like a king, got me feeling like an innocent. See, your love must be sound-proof, cos I don’t hear what the people say. I’m born-again, everyday. Take it from me. With you is where I’ll rather be. Hi! And these are some of the few things I wanna let you know. Swim the deepest sea and I’ll swim it with you. Baby believe I’ll never let you go. With you is where I’ll rather be. And when you took my hand, you took me into the promise land.
So I promise baby, I’ll be your man…

My love, I have tried with all my being to grasp a form comparable to thine own, but nothing seems worthy;
I know now why Shakespeare could not compare his love to a summer’s day. It would be a crime to denounce the beauty of such a creature as thee, to simply cast away the precision God had placed in forging you.
Each facet of your being whether it physical or spiritual is an ensnarement from which there is no release. But I do not wish release. I wish to stay entrapped forever. With you for all eternity. Our hearts, always as one.
To your question my profile was sign up by my sister and she live in uk is ex hubby is from united kingdom and she is a disable she is not working any more am from united state i have few months more here in Afghanistan and my mum and dad are late i dont want to talk about my parent try to understand me my sis name is Beth Rodenberger and she is with my son in state right now but she stay in united kingdom i hope i have answer all your questions hope to read from you soon

Jane, I came on here after a busy day to send you an e-mail after I have a shower ! And i got your message! Saying (NOT GIVING SENDING MONEY OVER SEAS to people as she thinks there is allot of SCAMS, 1Is this True about Daniel , 2 How long have u been on this Dating Site ? do you know what it brought me ? Tears....It hurt so much that someone i Love with all that i am presently don't even trust me!.. Last night you asked for many questions, I knew that was what you wanted to do!. But yet stıll I smile and told you everything! Why do you put friend into our relationship and why do you allow the thought of doubt in the relationship? Jane it so painful!.. Why did you? Why ?!..
Jane Honestly, I am DISAPPOINTED!why must it be you ? As i am writing this e-mail! Gods knows i am in tears! because the one person i love with all my life cant even trust me, Yesterday you kept asking questions after questions but i was answering them with Joy and Delights because i knew everything about me i needed to tell you and you need to know everything! and you make a friend to change your mind you allow a friend to rule our relationship and our son life you leave it for danger i cant believe that you are the one that comfort me in your last email that all will be okay i cant believe that you are the one asking another question that am i real and is Daniel sickness real what prove do you want and how can i show you how i care i can see that you don't want me to rule the relationship you prefer that your friend should rule it for you after putting all my life, love in you well i join the site four weeks ago and i have not been on it for some time since i register due to lost of a friend in camp here but i think i have to move on that when i met you and i have not be chatting with any lady and i am honest i told every body on the site that i have found the right woman and that is you Jane,and you promise you will do something about our son now you said you cant any more all i will say is why? Jane you are my angel my once in a life time.
If it was because of what i asked yesterday that's allowing all this to come up! Jane Please i beg you,Lets just forget i ask you and don't bother sending the money again...If you cant help me with our son health doesn't mean i would stop loving you !.The best thing that happened in my life was the day when we first met on here. You captured my heart.As time passed by, we became close, not just as friends but more than that.You brought back the light into my life when all I could see was darkness, you brought back the smile to my face when all I could do was frown, but most important, you brought back the love and trust that I had lost for people and you brought it back twice as much for me to give to you than I had previously given before.
God knows I would do anything to make you happy! And i have never sat down for a Second to doubt or think twice of anything you told me!
neither did i ever thought of doubting you ! Why ? Because i love you and i know you wouldn't lie to me!Why cant you do the same ?..Why did you do this to me, when you knew I would have done anything for you, when you knew that all my dreams, wishes and hopes surrounded you, when you knew that not having you in my life would instantly kill my heart? I'm all shattered and everything I see is blue. But I know I can't change your mind and more importantly, I can't change what you feel in your heart, so all I can ask you is, why Jane?
In Tears...

Someone has hacked facebook pages and is offering $75,000 and a free laptop to you from familysupport hotmail.com. You have to write to them and then you fill out a form with your passwords and then they ask you for $420 for delivery fee.
I received an email from an Online Dating Scammer who is trying to get money out of me, the name on the passport he sent - Matthew Cooper, and the name he uses - Keith Franklin do not match, he says it belongs to a friend of his, but I doubt it - and the address he gave is a hotel in London and they have never heard of him - I emailed them to ask if he was staying there.
He is using keithfranklin.mercer yahoo.co.uk as his email address. He said he was a New Zealander and was in London on business on Badoo and got me chatting with him on Yahoo Messenger then asked me for money and he keeps insisting I send it to him - I have kept saying no. He sent me his phone number, photo of someone's New Zealand passport and his address in London (which is a hotel), I have telephoned the number he gave me and he speaks with a foreign accent (definitely not a New Zealand one)
He asked me for $400 to buy his air ticket so he could come home to me - ha I've never met the guy and I sure as hell was not sending him any money. He told me he was transferred from NZ over to there by some guy to complete a project but in his Badoo profile he said he was taken to live in Holland by his parents when he was 15yrs old.
Please watch out for guys that insist they are in love with you after only a few messages, the messages are in disjointed or bad English, give you their email addresses (most of the sites are safe to chat on and it is easy to report the guys) and want you to go on messaging sites (both these things cos they say it is easier to chat and because they hardly use the site).
Hi. I have received a message on Facebook from a Barrister Fred Pari that I have inherited money from a person I don't even know, but he had the same surname as me. He claims the person also comes from South Africa, but lived in Togo and that I have to fill in these forms for the bank to claim my inheritance, but the forms asks questions like my hair and eye colour and my height. That is when I knew it was a scam, why would a bank ask questions like that? He also told me that he paid the money neccesary for the bank to release the money and that I only have to send my details and a copy of my ID and passport.

Scammer claimed to have Teacup Yorkshire Terrier Puppies available for sale, also to be a breeder in Nelson NZ, different websites had different places of where they were based.
Organises to sell a pup and and fly it to you the next day. Gives a price but doesn't ask for funds until just before the flights for the animal, then it's a rush to get the animal on the plane. Some story about Husband living in Cameroon Africa as a petrochemical engineer along with living there with 2 of the 4 kids they have. She is supposedly the wife with 2 of the kids as well living and breeding these dogs in Nelson NZ.
Money to be transferred via Western Union so that the daughter in Cameroon had money to party with for her birthday soon. So you pay the transfer and then she starts having trouble shipping the animal, says she'll call,she only did call after i emailed and went berserk, very bad reception, sounded french and not able to understand what was said then she hung up. Then emails saying that the reception was very poor at Nelson Airport where she trying to sort out the transport for the dog. Says she's working on a solution and will have the animal sent to the house instead of collecting from the airport so there's no further inconvenience on my part.
Animal never shows, you never hear back from the scammer. Money's gone. NO refund. I googled the email address of the scammer and she is still advertising all over the internet globally with all free classified advertisers, I contacted a several sites in Australia to alert them suggesting they take her off their site and one replied, they looked at my communications with her and they emailed her asking why there was non delivery of the dog, the scammer then replied to them stating that she's been on vacation and that the puppies are still available and that there has never been a case of non delivery. This was 2 days after my dog was to be delivered. They have removed her from their site.
The scammer never used any salutation or sign off, only name is from what comes through from the email address. Julie Giovinazzi and the money transfer name to Harry Tah.
Funds Lost to scammer $714NZD
Extremely elaborate web of lies even well after money has been transferred.
Thanks

This is when I contacted the Anti-Spam team.
He then has since sent a follow up email about their latest conversation on Skype:
We had a very interesting conversation last night. The money requested has now gone from 15000 USD up to 75000 USD. I managed to hold back my laugh and we talked on other things like how many kids we should have and other matters family when we eventually meet. hehehe. Enjoy the laugh.
Be careful when you are typing in a website address!
While I was trying to open world famous and trusted cartoon website: www southparkstudios com, I mistyped and missed the last 's' in the web address and typed: www southparkstudio.com... It instead open the page similar in appearance and background to actual site, and gave me an offer to complete a survey to win iPhone, iPad etc. Since the site was completely similar in appearance to the trusted website I have been using for years, I started filling survey but because it wanted so much confidential info I soon realized that the website address was wrong, and someone is using appearance and look of actual website to collect confidential information of people.
Essentially the email was a fraud to get me to either to pay some form of fee or even worse steal the car and not pay for it - story was unbelievable and trigger to search for the email address and found a listing which was word for word the same.
The scammer (Tony Singh) sought to buy Ferrari 360 Modena sports car I have for sale on trade me - pay via Paypal - I suggested he may like to visit New Zealand and I would get the local police to met him at the airport - surprisingly he hasn't taken up the offer.

Hi,
I must admit that I am very very much interested in purchasing this car from you. I am presently out of country due to work, I am in the Army who's currently in Afghanistan for the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) . Now what I propose to you is this; Due to the fact that I am so far away right now I will gladly transfer
you the amount via PayPal and pay the paypal fees as well, What I would then do is arrange for a private courier company to pick up the car from your address
once you have received the payment into your hands. The reason I chose paypal is that it is a reliable and secure way of making a payment online so works out
better for both parties.
So in order to enable me to proceed with the payment could you please provide me with the following information:
Your PayPal e-Mail Address :
Mobile Number :
Price is ok
Cheers.
We listed our car on Trade Me a month or so ago. I received a text message from this guy (Tony Singh) asking if it was still for sale and could I please email him. You can see from the responses that it is more than a little strange. I did a Google search and it seems like he has tried (and succeeded?) in getting money out of people in this way before.

Therefore, it is important both to the buyer and the seller for their transaction to be made safely. Payment Protection means receiving money concerning the transaction by a reliable, experienced, impartial person - our Payment Protection Agent. He will hold all the money until all the terms of the deal are satisfied and only then release them to the intended receiver.
Having a Payment Protection Agent in every country we can quickly transfer funds inside a country without wasting time on the international bank transfers, and continue our rapid growth rather than overwhelming our own bank account with inbound and outbound transactions leading to severe hold times and possible service interruption. It is time that is of significant importance to our clients.
The main task of the Payment Protection Agent will be receiving money transactions to any bank account he would like to use for the purposes of this job; and then forwarding these transactions to the next party of the process according to our instructions. Payment Protection Agent will be processing approximately 1-2 transactions per week.
If you would like to find out more about the position and apply please reply to this e-mail and our hiring manager Samuel Bigwood will be in touch with you as soon as possible. Please note that due to a high response we are getting for our positions, it may not always be possible to personally reply back to you with feedback in the same day.

Sydney is filled with lots of visitor which makes it so difficult to get a space as hotel and hostels around cost too much....The level of crowd searching for an apartment has also made it so tedious to screen potential roommates so has to find the right one and also one with a positive energy...The location of the apartment attracts so many foreign visitors......In my previous email,i guessed i have told you all you need to hear about the apartment.
Stating the fact that you are not in Sydney presently, you can make reservation for this room and there would be a Tenancy document to that effect that you are the owner of the specified space....This involves the duties of my lawyer whom will prepare the Tenancy Agreement Contract between us...Everything we do will be backed and sealed by law so there would be no doubts
Let me know if you agree with the reservation idea and i will get back to you with details on the forms and process at which this will take place..i can attach a copy of my passport and certificate of ownership if you want to have a look
Cheers

hey Jean;
Ive been flatting for years and I know how hard it is to find decent people who you can trust. It has been hard to find accommodation so far as almost everyone on this website has been contacting me on the fact that they are outside Sydney at the moment but they are willing to post me the keys, which is very concerning so I will be needing to see some legal documents as well if that is okay.

As soon as the contract has been made ,i will send you a copy through email as a file which you will read carefully,print out and sign where required....As soon as you have signed the contract,then you will make an upfront payment of the first month rent and security deposit prior to your arrival which will be the financial commitment Afterwards,a receipt will be issued to you which you will bring along at your move in date for proof of identity and in the mean time before you get here,i will get everything sorted out at the council tax office which is most important..The upfront payment will facilitate that.... I hope you understand the process and i await your response with the details as required..

Yes, it is still in perfect working order. The WOF is due in July, but we have no doubt that it will pass, as we have had no problems whatsoever. We have a full service history, only selling due to the fact that we are leaving NZ. It's a great vehicle.

Hello,
Thanks so much for the reply to my e-mail.I do not smoke neither do i drink.I am a young christian female,friendly, honest, and easy to get along with (I hope you are too). I am not a neat freak, but I like to keep the house tidy.My hobbies are Hiking and going to the cinema's. I enjoy watching and playing sport, amongst those being golf and football once in a while.I also enjoy socializing with friends and am fun to be with.
I planned coming over by 2nd week in March for my masters degree,but would prefer making payment prior my arrival directly to you to secure the place.
For rent $150 works perfect p/w but would only pay for two weeks now and then I'll balance up after my arrival. As regards payment a wire transfer into your bank account would work out perfect,Kiwi bank preferably.
Thanks and let me know what you feel.

Hello Dear,
How are you today? I would need you to do me a favor and I would appreciate if you can help me out on this. My Dad whom would be making payment is meant to send me $1200 for my travel ticket, but at the moment I do not have an account to receive the money and my Dad can only transfer money from his account because he is presently on a business trip in Korea.
I was wondering if i can have him transfer $1500 into your bank account while you deduct $300 out of the money for two weeks rent,and send the balance of $1200 (less transfer charges) to my travel agent via western union so I can have my flight ticket booked on time and when I arrive I would pay you the balance before moving in.
Also,kindly confirm the closest airport to you so i can know where to schedule my flight to and would be glad if you could pick me up at the airport when i arrive.I would really appreciate if you can help me on this.
Thanks and please let me know your opinion.

Hello,
Am originally from Stockholm,Sweden but was raised in London,UK.Iintend taking my masters degree at Mount hutt College and am studying full time.
I got the closest airport to you and am glad to hear that you can pick me up from the closest town center.As regards the balance I really don't mean to bug you but the basic reason I needed you to help out is because my Dad is very busy presently on a business trip and he's only willing to make payment from his ANZ account which I don't have one over here neither my travel agent has an account with ANZ so he made it clear to me that he will transfer the funds into your account while you deduct two weeks rent out of the money and have the balance sent via western union to my travel agent.
I understand your busy schedule,but would be glad if you could help out with this to enable my travel arrangement more easier for me.I would appreciate if you can log onto www westernunion com and see how you can send the balance online using your debit card instead of going all the way to the ATM machine outlet to withdraw funds and trying to locate a western union outlet.
My travel agent is not in NZ and regarding the transfer fee,there's a transfer charges for any money sent through western union so you are to deduct the transfer charges out of the balance and send the remaining balance left.
Thanks so much for your effort dear and am so sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused.

Ayo

Hello again Ayo.
Are you aware that Mount Hutt College is a high school (or secondary school) not a university?
As far as I know they don't run tertiary education.
Your Dad could easily purchase your airline ticket online for you and credit $300 to my account, if you still want the room. My new house is furnished except for the bedrooms for rent. Will you require a bed and bedding? If so that will be $200 per week and $400 bond. .

Hello,
How are you today ? Thanks for getting back to me. I am okay with everything you have said here about the apartment and i am sure it would be fun sharing . I Intend coming over not later than the 20th of this month and also would be willing to rent for 1yr but would prefer paying the rent on a monthly basis. I would pay you the first month rent prior to my arrival to enable you hold the room for me because I am sure you would have other people looking at the room and I would not want to loose out on this opportunity basically because it is my first time in New Zealand and I understand the difficulties in securing a place especially when I am miles away.Since am unable to come view the place prior to my move in i would appreciate it if i could pay to you.
I should probably tell you more about myself, My Full name is Debbie smith,I just completed my BSC in University of Manchester and would be coming over to New Zealand to register myself for a Masters program. My hobbies are watching soap operas,swimming, and i play the guitar wonderfully, also i paint during my leisure time i guess am a handful,I am also a very clean person that loves cleaning but not a neat freak, but I would make sure at all times the house is in a good shape.
As Regards the rent, I do not have a problem with it being fixed. I would also like you to know payment would be made by my Dad which would be through a direct deposit in your bank account. I hope you don't have a problem with this?
Thanks and Looking forward to hearing from you.

As per payments my dad would be making payments to you on my behalf,cause he is my sponsor but at the moment he is only able totransfer into your bank account i got your account details in your last email,to be able to secure the place i am willing to have him make a deposit immediately...Please let me know if this works for you.
I would need you do me a favor, and I would appreciate if you can help me out on this.

I was wondering if i can have him transfer $1000 into your account in two installments, sending the first installment to my travel agent through western union because there is a restriction on his account and he is only able to transfer $1000 at a time, so I could have my flight ticket booked on time and the second installment would be substituted for rent inorder to hold the room for me. I would really appreciate if you can help me with this,please also include your telephone number in your next email.

Hi Debbie.
That all sounds very complex.
A couple of questions for you.
Firstly; Are you asking me to receive funds from your Dad not only for rent and bond but also to then pay for your air ticket? Surely not.
Secondly; Where do you intend studying your Masters?
Thirdly; what transport plans do you have? Christchurch is over an hours drive from Methven. We don't have public transport on the same scale as the UK.
I look forward to hearing more from you.

So after the first email from Jean Boutier, I thought it is the genuine email, so I replied to him expressing my interest for his flat. Then the sender replied me back asked for my details, date to move in etc and what makes me so suspicious is that he want to deal everything online. I told him that my friend is already in Auckland so if he can give me his number, we can arrange to view the place first but he refused and give some excuse that he is now in London. So I Google his name and found out that he's an active scammer on few other website. Got few forums talking bout Jean Boutier scam activity in Australia, NZ and London.

Presently, I am in the UK, {London to be precise}, This is the reason I want to rent my apartment out The only option at hand now is, if we can both go through the normal proceedure.. we can still arrive at exactly what you wanted. You can move in even if i am not there to usher you in.
The processes are not much, you only need to sign a Lease document {which we can both do online}, then you need to have some documents to yourself as proof of assurance, then we proceed to the payment level and giving you a reference number {like a code} which you would take to the FEDEX head office, to get the keys, because without the reference number, nobody can get the keys except someone i give it to and i would be called to confirm first. Incase you want to be sure of how genuine the person is...this is the reason I would be willing to make available a scanned copy of my Passport and my Certificate of Occupancy, which I am not supposed to expose over the internet for security reasons.... but in this situation, we need to be sure of whom we are both dealing with.
I would need to prepare the Lease document with your {Full name, Present Contact address, and Phone number}. So, I would need you to give me the
information required for the form which I listed above.
I would be expecting to read from you very soon

Thanks for your reply.
We would class the motorhome as in excellent condition but the best way would be for you to have a look at it to satisfy yourself re the condition and to also see for yourself that the asking price is fair value considering the condition, the features and the current new build price.
We have another couple who want to buy it at the asking price but have a business to sell first.

I am okay with the $ 2,500 price for the motorhome, but i am very sorry i wont be able to come down and take a look at the motorhome, because I work as a soccer scout for Stoke City FC, All i need from you is an assurance that the vehicle is in a good working condition ... I bought a bike last week for my son on trademe this same way and he says the bike is really lovely, so all i need is an assurance that this is a good vehicle. I will be arranging pick up with a shipping agent from your location, and they will be taking care of all the paper works and collection, so that won't be a problem for you. So therefore i will be making payments to you via PayPal or a NZ Bank deposit as your Ad says on trademe (SafeTrader) so get back to me with your PayPal email or Bank details so i can make payment arrangements and the pick up agent will come for the motorhomeafter payments is sorted, I want you to know that i will be responsible for PayPal charges/Trademe Safetrader Fee also.

Due to my inability to make a bank deposit, I would be paying via PayPal which is safer for me or bank transfer as well safe.
Kindly send me a paypal payment invoice or create an account at www paypal com if you dont have one or your bank details for me to make payment. I will make a concrete pick up arrangement with my transport agent who will be coming over for pick up once you receive full payment into your PayPal account.

I could do tomorrow during the day or Thursday morning. The truck is at my parents so I can arrange for them to be around if you can only come in the evenings. The truck is in Whitford - South Auckland.

We are asking $4,000 for both truck and box, the truck body has rust on doors and rail bars, we were quoted 2,500-2,800 to replace the bars - this needs to be done to get COF. Horse box is in good condition.

Hi Mate, Thanks for the kind response. Having gone through the ad again and looked around, i see yours a good price. I feel sad I am not available to deal in person as I'm currently in camp as Military Sere Instructor for new recruits in PNG, but its nothing to worry about for I will be making arrangement with a private shipping agent that takes care of inspection and pick up. As a matter of fact, I'm buying this as a surprise gift for my Father. I'll make use of Paypal including any surcharges required to get full amount delivered to your account. hope you have one already, I would only need your Paypal email address and account name for transfer of funds. It's easy to create on their website "paypal.com" in case you don't own it already. Further arrangements (regarding pick up) will be made after transfer goes through.
Hope to read from you soon

After replying to an SMS text this week in response to an advertisement for my motorcycle on New Zealand web sites, these are the ensuing emails. Needless to say I have not parted with any money, nor has any been transferred to my account.

Hi,
Thanks for the prompt response.. I am ready to buy it now as a birthday gift for my brother in-law. I am at sea at the moment as I am a marine engineer and due to the nature of my work, phone call making and visiting of website are restricted but I just have to squeezed out time to check this advert and decided to contact you regarding it. I really want the bike to be a surprise package for brother in-law so I won't let him know anything about the bike until it gets delivered to him, I am sure he will be more than happy with the bike. I insisted on PayPal as my mode of payment because I don't have access to my bank account online and also, I don't have internet banking, but I can pay from my PayPal account. I have my bank account attached to my PayPal account, so I will need you to get back to me your PayPal email address and your final price so I can make the payments asap for the bike. Also, in your response, Please include your phone number again in case I misplace the one I have so I can send you a text as soon as the payment is sent via PayPal.
Nevertheless, if you don't have a PayPal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to www.paypal.com and get it set up, after you have set it up I will only need the e-mail address you used for the registration with PayPal so as to put the money through. I have a pick up agent that will come and pick the bike up after I have made the payments for the bike.

I will be sending funds now. Like I said before, I have someone (a shipping company to be precise) who will handle the pick up, I will be needing the exact location/address for the pick up in order to make arrangements with my shipping company for the bike pick up. I will be adding their charges to the total amount which I will be paying you, I'll also need you to help me transfer their charges to my shipper via Western Union once you get my payment confirmation.

According to paypal's instruction while i was transferring the funds, you'll have to transfer the extra amount through Western Union right away to the shipping company's HEADQUARTERS in Malaysia (where they confirm all Commission Payments so that they can be able to schedule a suitable Pick Up Date and Time immediately) and your funds will be released to your account immediately you verify the transfer with paypal by sending them the MTCN code which will be given to you at western union when you send funds upfront. Then shipper can come over for the pick up when funds are fully released.
I'll need your address where they have to come for the pick up. find below, the shipping agent info needed to pay the fees through Western Union money Transfer.

As for papers & date, all documentations will be prepared by the shipping agent when they get there. Pick Up time will be scheduled when they receive the payment from you, the soon they have the payment is the soon Pick Up would commence, you need to make yourself available then.
It's nice doing business with you. Kindly mail me back soon with your address so I can forward it to the shipper.

Subject: Shipment Insurance
Thanks for the email. I did get an email from paypal late today confirming that the shipment fee has been sent to shipper. I see it very obligatory to say a very big thank you for being there.
The money has been picked up by the shipping agent and surprisingly I did get another email from them this avo notifying me about the need to pay an insurance fee of $1,500 which is to be refunded upon delivery. According to their message, the insurance fee will be asked across the border and it will be refunded on delivery.
Sequel to this, I did contact paypal about it and was advised to make an additional payment and now been deducted from my account already. To compensate you for the extra transfer fee you incurred and the new one you want to send with your time, i have added an extra 200$ and sum up to 1,700$. Now you should receive 6,500$ in your account after they have verified the transfer of the Insurance fee 1,500$ being sent to the shipping agent.
Do let me know when paypal has confirmed the payment to you

Hi Waatea,
Can you please send me your phone number, your physical address and your Paypal account details.
Paypal are not releasing the as they said they would. They have no record of your account or the funds.
We received more information about an online trade scammer, this time going by the name of Grant Edwards:
I advertised my vehicle as classified on Trade Me and when I googled the original email I found some posts on their site as well as the one on the DIA site. The email "abolaso35 gmail.com" (with different numbers) has been reported on several scam discussion sites. Attached are all the correspondence I had with this person - including fake paypal emails instructing me to send money to an address in the UK. Presumably that person is acting as a funds transfer person and maybe needs to be contacted…
Haven't heard anything more from 'Grant' since my final email to him but I have received two more emails from 'Paypal'.

Hi,
I must admit that I am very very much interested in purchasing this car from you. I am presently out of NZ due to work, I am in the NZ Army who's currently in Afghanistan for the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) . Now what I propose to you is this; Due to the fact that I am so far away right now I will gladly transfer you the amount via PayPal and pay the transfer charges as well, What I would then also do is arrange for a private courier company to pick up from your address once you have received the payment into your Paypal account. The reason I choose paypal is that it is a reliable and secure way of making a payment online so works out better for both parties. So in order to enable me to proceed with the payment could you please provide me with the following information:
Your PayPal e-Mail Address :
Mobile Number :
Price is ok
Cheers.

Hello Grant,
I hope that you work with the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Afghanistan is going well - of course we hear a lot about it in the news media...
This email is linked to my paypal account. Paypal charges a fee of around 2.5% to me to receive payments, so please add $125 to the total.
You have my mobile number already from your original TEXT.
I will look forward to receiving your payment. You will need to ensure that the courier company contacts me before coming to take delivery after the payment has been received...
Kind regards

I just finished paying for the car, please check your e-mail for payment confirmation emails from paypal (check your Junk Folder if you cant find the mails in your inbox), I sent an additional 1,500 which is required for the freight charges, you'll have to help send the extra amount to the Shipping Company through Western Union because I cant send the money to the agent by myself as i'm offshore and i'd need to get into a post office to use western union. Here is the courier details which you're required to send the money to,

You should send the money ASAP and send the western union receipt to paypal as a reply to the message you received, Also you have to send your bank information to paypal alongside the western union details if your bank account is not registered with paypal already.

Following is an experience another online trader had with Andrew Bond wanting to purchase the traders car:
Basically, I was selling my car on Trade Me at the price of $8500.00 NZD. Someone was very keen on it and wanted to use PayPal for a safe transaction. He requested that I send an invoice using the PayPal website. So I created an ID and sent an invoice to Andrew Bond [bonand102 gmail.com]. He then sent me an email saying he had sent $8500 and added extra $3950 to take care of the bills, so he sent PayPal $12,450.00 NZD (included the selling price $8500.00 NZD and an extra fee $3950 NZD). He also said that I needed to send the money ($3950 NZD) to Navinkumar Goppu via Western Union. Finally, I sent the $3950.00 NZD because I trusted PayPal. Having sent the money ($3950 NZD + the send charge 151.46 NZD) to him, I found out that something was wrong.
I noticed that all the emails pretended to be PayPal emails were not from PayPal. (He used email address [service intl.paypal.com ® inquirysection consultant.com]. I confirmed the email was not PayPal's after I contacted the actual PayPal company)
I know I shouldn't have sent him the money without 100% certainty.
I reported the New Zealand Police as soon as I realised, but they said that as the money's already gone to overseas, they can't do anything for us.
I don't want anyone else to fall for this scammer!

Alright Mate,
I am very keen. How i wish i could come for viewing and inspection as am currently overseas at the moment and i want it picked up before I get back, though i will be back in couple of weeks. Due to my inability to make a bank deposit, I would be paying via PayPal which is safer for me. Kindly send me a paypal payment invoice or create an account at www paypal com if you dont have one. I will make a concrete pick up arrangement with my transport agent who will be coming over for pick up once you receive full payment into your PayPal account. Have a nice day. Few more photos will be appreciated as well and I am pleased with the price.

Hi Again,
This is just to get you informed that i have finished sending the payment through paypal and I know you should have received the confirmation messages from paypal by now so make sure you check your inbox and junk message folder for the confirmation email cos i have received the receipt here and the money has been completely removed from my paypal account. According to paypal's instructions, I have added extra $1350NZD to take care of the bills so mail me immediately you receive the confirmation.Thanks for the business.
Andrew

To: Andrew Bond
ok i got 1 email from the payment, it says its pending, and i cant see it in my paypal account yet..it must take a while to go thru??? and also it has the extra $1350 what do i do with that??
From: Andrew Bond
Date: Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 7:03 PM
The money has not been released to your account yet.What paypal now wants you to do is to send the $1350 which was added to the funds to the shipper from your own pocket first via western union money transfer..The $1350 is the shipping agent's fee for the carriage..So after you have sent the money via western union,you now need to send the MTCN to paypal and also the sender's name..After they have verified that you really sent the money,then they will now credit your account immediately after they receive the information from you.. To locate a western union office,just go to the nearest post office and ask for a western union outlet and go along with a form of identity either a travelling passport or a driver's licence..So after you have given them the money($1350),they will now give you a 10digits number which is the MTCN which you will now email top paypal and they will credit your account after..Western union will charge you some fee for sending the money..Paypal says they will be responsible, so it will be credited to your account along with the money..The shipper's details to send the money to is :
Name: Navinkumar Goppu
Address: B-9-1 Aqua Jalil Condo,
City: Kuantan
State: KUALA LUMPUR,
Zip Code: 53000
Country: MALAYSIA.
So get back as soon as you have sent the money and we can conclude this transaction.
Date: Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 7:08 PM
To: Andrew Bond
Oh my god!!
I didnt know that all this had to happen...i dont have $1350 in my wallet... Im sorry i cant do that..
From: Andrew Bond
Date: Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 7:10 PM
First of all, I want you to know that the payment cannot be cancelled due to the fact that the money has been removed from my account and has been kept in escrow by paypal and according to the policy, you have to first send the shipper's fees through western union and mail the mtcn and transfer details to paypal for verification and immediately they confirmed that you have truly sent the money, then your account will be credited immediately. I want you to find all means of getting the money either you borrow from friends or relations because your account will be credited by paypal within few hours after they receive the mtcn from you and then you can be able to return every money from wherever you borrow. I am also a Father and a man of Integrity and i cannot and will never lead you astray because i have over 25 people working under me and i am very honest to them. I want you to know that paypal will not hesitate to take legal actions against you if you do not send out the money as they requested and the consequences of there legal actions is always bad so i dont want this kind of thing to happen to you. Make sure you try and send out the money asap and keep me informed on the progress.
Cheers
Date: Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 7:19 PM
To: Andrew Bond
Well i am sorry, but you were not honest enough to tell me that i had to pay $1350 out of my own pocket first. when i don’t have that money. well i got no money from paypal and i haven’t stolen any thing from paypal , i have not gotten any money. so take me to court. and i have cancelled my paypal account and it said all my transactions have been cancelled. so i have not got any warnings about anything from paypal.
goodbye.
From: Andrew Bond
Date: Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 9:34 PM
It wasn't my fault.I followed paypal"s instruction as the payment company..They will start legal action soon If you fail to comply
Date: Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 6:59 AM
To: Andrew Bond
well paypal didnt give me any instructions. to pay 1350 so im not going to do what you want. i will go to the police if you try ask me for money again. As i do believe this is a scam.

An online trader contacted us about her experience with scammer David Knight who wanted to purchase her car:
We had a car for sale on trade me. My partner received a text msg asking for us to email David Knight regarding the sale of the car. I replied back with the sale price and the email address for Paypal, then we received the email below and further emails were sent backwards and forwards - He said in an email that he had transferred over $3700.00 when we said the sale price was for $3000.00 he said that $700 extra was for us to go to western union and transfer the money over to Malaysia for his agent to organize for the pick up of the car..

Thanks for the mail..I want to buy it now as a Present for my Dad and i am at sea at the moment as i am a marine engineer and due to the nature of my work, phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email regarding vehicle. I really want the vehicle to be a surprise for my father so i wont let him know anything about the vehicle until it gets delivered to him, i am sure he will be more than happy with the vehicle. I insisted on paypal because i don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have internet banking, but i can pay from my paypal account, as i have my bank a/c attached to it, and i will need you to give me your paypal email address and the price so i can make the payments asap for the vehicle and pls if you don't have paypal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to www paypal com and get it set up, after you have set it up i will only need the email address you use for registration with paypal so as to put the money through. I have a pick up agent that will come and pick the vehicle up after i have made the payments...
Another vehicle trade with the same kind of email requesting they use Paypal as previously seen in the Dennis Mower and other online trade scams. Remember, Paypal is a perfectly acceptable place to do online trading, just these scammers use the same wording when the trade is reaching the pay point which one wouldn't expect from apparent individuals.

I insisted on paypal because i don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have internet banking and i can't go to the bank due to the nature of my job, but i can pay from my paypal account, as i have my bank a/c attached to it, pls if you don't have paypal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to wwwpaypalcom and get it set up , after you have set it up i will only need the e-mail address and the account name you use for registration with paypal so as to put the money through, and paypal has also upgraded their security systems, its now safer and easier to use.
As for the issue of my details,transferring the name of ownership and signing of all paperwork will be done by the pick up agent after you have the payment from paypal. so you don't have to worry about that. Go ahead and send me your paypal email address and the account name to remit the funds asap, then, the transport agent shall come for the pick up at your address after you received the payment.

We were contacted by someone who had listed their profile with an online employment company and he was contacted by a scammer who used contact information for a legitimate company, offering him employment in the New Zealand branch of the company.
It all looked legitimate until the 'activity description' pdf was read.

You would never have to send money via Western Union or Money Gram to a company you were employed by. Western Union and Money Gram are themselves legitimate companies and provide a great service, however you would not use them for sending money back and forth between businesses.
What follows is a brief recap of another persons experience with scammer ‘Dennis Mower’
Hi,
I must admit that I am very very much interested in purchasing this car from you. I am presently out of NZ due to work, I am in the NZ Army who's currently in Afghanistan for the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) . Now what I propose to you is this; Due to the fact that I am so far away right now I will gladly transfer you the amount via PayPal and pay the transfer charges as well, What I would then also do is arrange for a private courier company to pick up from your address once you have received the payment into your Paypal account. The reason I choose paypal is that it is a reliable and secure way of making a payment online so works out better for both parties.
So in order to enable me to proceed with the payment could you please provide me with the following information:
Your PayPal e-Mail Address :
Mobile Number :
Price :
Cheers.,
and also from him
i cant pay with bank as i had disable my online banking when i left the country, so if youre interested in the sale kindly register for paypal at wwwpaypalcom and once i send the money to your account you can withdraw it to your bank account
When he said to me he wanted to pay for the vehicle via Pay Pal I felt this isn't right, something seems wrong, but I asked my bank and they told me pay Pal was a secure way of reciveing money so I registerd with Pay pal, and this was his next email to me
I just finished paying for the car, please check your e-mail for payment confirmation emails from paypal (check your Junk Folder if you cant find the mails in your inbox), I sent an additional 1,500 which is required for the freight charges, you'll have to help send the extra amount to the Shipping Company through Western Union because i cant send the money to the agent by myself as i'm offshore and i'd need to get into a post office to use western union.
Here is the courier details which you're required to send the money to,
Ryan Dungey
11 Bree Hill
Chelmsford
Essex
CM3 7AD
United Kingdom
You should send the money ASAP and send the western union receipt to paypal as a reply to the message you received, Also you have to send your bank information to paypal alongside the western union details if your bank account is not registered with paypal already.
It's Nice Doing Business With You.
Get back to me soon with your address
and I got an email from Pay Pal saying the money was there for me to claim, which i did, and I waited, then I emailed him to see what was happening, this was my email to him
Hi Dennis,
just to update you with what's happening my end, I'm waiting forPay Pal to release to $4800.00 into my account, then I can go to Western Union and send to the person you have requested me to, and then the courier can come and pick-up the RVR
Cheers
and this was his reply
As per the PayPal email. You are required to pay the 1,500 NZD to the shipping agent through western union from your own pocket and then send the deposit Receipt to PayPal for verification. Once they receive the Payment Receipt from you, The whole amount would be released into your account. So you should go ahead with sending the payment and then send the Payment Receipt to PayPal for verification,So that you can get your money and we can finalize this transaction... Respond to me soon
and this was my reply back to him
Hi,
Oh, very quick reply, but i'm not willing to pay that until the money is released to me, I will send the money once you pay me, no other way
Cheers
Apart from him totally wasting my time I haven't been taken for a cent and never let my vehicle go until he paid me, thought you may like to know what happened to me.

Hello,
I saw your posting on Trademe concerning the room for rent, and I would appreciate it if i can rent the room from you.
I am originally from Manchester in the UK and a 26 year old female. Let me know the bills/rent per month and also would be great to know your preferred method of payment. Its an addition if i get pictures of the room so I can know what it looks like, and also would you be kind enough to tell me some details about your self. I will await for your response later today .
Hope to hear from you soon.
Debbie.
Hello,
How are you today ? Thanks for getting back to me. I am okay with everything you have said here about the apartment and i am sure it would be fun sharing . I Intend coming over not later than the 30th of January and also would be willing to rent for 1yr but would prefer paying the rent on a monthly basis. I would pay you the first month rent prior to my arrival to enable you hold the room for me because I am sure you would have other people looking at the room and I would not want to loose out on this opportunity basically because it is my first time in New Zealand and I understand the difficulties in securing a place especially when I am miles away.Since am unable to come view the place prior to my move in i would appreciate it if i could pay to you .I have also attached a photo of myself so you know what i look like.
I should probably tell you more about myself, My Full name is Debbie smith,I just completed my BSC in University of Manchester and would be
coming over to New Zealand to register myself for a Masters program. My hobbies are watching soap operas,swimming, and i play the guitar
wonderfully, also i paint during my leisure time i guess am a handful,I am also a very clean person that loves cleaning but not a neat freak, but I would make sure at all times the house is in a good shape.
As Regards the rent, I do not have a problem with it being fixed. I would also like you to know payment would be made by my Dad which
would be through a direct deposit in your bank account. I hope you don't have a problem with this?
Thanks and Looking forward to hearing from you.
Debbie

After i have made the payments and it has been confirmed by paypal, i will need you to help me send the $600 to my pick up agent through western union money transfer, the western union money transfer can be made at a post office near to you,there is always a western union agent in most post offices or online at www westernunion com .I will be making the payments shortly and will email you as soon as it has been done..

Thanks for the mail as per message i received from paypal which should be similar to yours, you need to make an upfront payment of $600 to the shipping agent using western union (can be found at your local post office) to the shipping agent's address:
Name: Navin Kumar Goppu
Address: 12,Tmn Bukit Seputih,
City: Kuala Lumpur,

Thus, after the money is sent. you will be given a receipt on the receipt, which will show a MTCN code and other details that you should be sent to PayPal and a total of $4,000 will be released immediately without any delay. please let me know when you have completed this. cheers!

Sorry mate, but I am not making an upfront payment without the money being released to me first, I was prepared to give you the chance first but everything points to a scam and I am not taking that chance. If you can’t make the payment to me first then I am not prepare to go through with this, you can cancel the Paypal trasaction as I will not be completing the sale.

I do understand what you mean but this is a safe transaction i have just contact paypal when i got the notification letter from them that the buyer will never believe the transaction is safe but this is what i was told below that the funds can not be refunded to the buyer's account through the PayPal system as the buyer's account has been placed under limited access by our trust and safety department because the buyer made attempt in claiming the funds back to his account without any legal notification for security purpose.
Therefore i guess you should understand that i can not access my account at the moment untill the transaction is complete so i think the best way is that you should please go ahead and make the transfer for the money and get back to paypal with the western union details for you to have your money fully credited into your account asap

From: perkjulian gmail.com
Thanks for the prompt reply,I will like to know the lowest price for it,i want you to get back to me with more picture and the present condition of it because i could not come over to inspect it, i am buying it locally here as a birthday gift for my Son that is living in Malaysia. I am at sea at the moment as i am an Oceanographer ( i work on South Pacific Ocean in east of New Zealand ) and due to the nature of my work, phone calls is restricted. It was my son that check your advert and sent you a text to contact me (his mother )
on my email address because i am currently offshore .
I am really sure he will be more than happy if i am able to purchase it from you becuase this is what he want and chose from the Advert. You need not worry yourself about how it will get to him there in Malaysia as i have a contact of shipping company there that will be handling the pick up and all the paper work.
TO : perkjulian gmail.com
Hi my lowest price is $10500 .The car is in good condition very clean . I'll take some photos for you . The only reason I'm selling is that the car is too big for me as it has 7 seats and I often do not travel that far by myself I only use it on weekends . I clean it every week , and service it every half a year or every 5000km which ever is close , It has been in a family for , 4 years now and did 26000km . I dont mind the shipping as long as someone will come and pick it up here.
FROM: perkjulian gmail.com
I am really interested in buying it and i want to go ahead with the purchase,i am pleased with the price but i can only conclude the transaction through PayPal for our own protection, PayPal act as a neutral third party. it is safe,secure and reliable.
I insisted on PayPal mode of payment because i don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have internet banking but i can pay from my PayPal account as i have my bank a/c attached to it and also due to the fact that i am currently offshore and I won't definitely be able to make it to my bank to wires money across to you.It is what safe and convenient for me. PayPal is the fastest, secure, easier and the best online transfer or receiving of money into someone's account,you register with PayPal account with
your bank details or credit card,it is very easy to set up,the registration will take only 5 minutes,so any transfer you made with your PayPal goes through to your bank account,it is free,safe and reliable.
After you have registered for PayPal account,all i need is just the full name with the email address of the PayPal account to transfer the fund into your bank account that you link up with your PayPal account,it is just as simple as that.

I have just made the payment now and i expect paypal to have emailed you by now,check your email address if you have been messaged yet, i sent $2,500 in all, i have decided to add the amount of $1600 which i paid through paypal, So you can now wire the
sum of $1500 to my agent's Headquarters in UK via western union where they confirm all commission payment so that they can be able to schedule a suitable pick up date and time immediately.
As said earlier in my previous email,the western union transfer can be done at the post office as their is a western union section in all post office.I added extra $100 to cover the western union charges which shouldn't be more that $60-75 but just to be sure i added
$100.
Here is my pick up agent Headquarter info needed to get the money sent through western union money transfer:
Fred Bidem

Dagenham Essex

Note:PayPal won't release the funds until they get the western union information from you due to the fact that i emailed them about the excess payment I made.Please kindly email the necessary details to paypal :the mtcn which you will be given at the western union after the $1500 has been sent as well as the sender's name and address used to send the money through western union so they can take necessary steps.Await your response.

He advises applicants to contact his wife ‘Kate’ in the UK who sends pictures of the apartment and requests the applicant fills in a rental agreement form.
Once the form is completed the applicant is told to send $1700 USD via a Western Union account and she will send the DHL package with papers and keys. In this case, the applicant paid the money and did not receive the package. Kate then sent a request for another $600 USD to send to her husband in Africa. The applicant refused and Kate became angry demanding account information from her. There has been no communication since but the applicant has lost $1700 USD.

Online Dating scam
Earlier this year I joined an internet dating site in the hope, that I might meet someone special. As it happens I did meet a man who ticked a lot of the boxes, he was attractive, articulate, charming and very attentive (he would email me nearly every day). This went on for a few months with him telling me of his plans to purchase property in Wellington as he was planning to move to New Zealand.He was very convincing and made plans to come to New Zealand for a holiday, to spend time getting to know me, going as far as to send me his itinerary. However; one week out from this seemingly perfect holiday I received a phone call from him stating that he was in a remote part of Sri Lanka without internet coverage and he was seeking my assistance to transfer funds from his international bank account to one of his "sub contractors" account.
He talked me through the process step by step, I got so far was unable to complete the transaction. After a number of failed attempts I was locked out. Things became complicated and after a number of phone calls to his bank he asked me if I could transfer money from my bank to cover. I was very nervous and told him I would need time to sort something out. I contacted a financial adviser, who informed Internal Affairs immediately.
Someone contacted me directly and we became to unravel some of the intricate lies that this relationship was built on. I felt extremely upset, embarrassed, foolish and heartbroken.
I trusted this person, even though I was sceptical about joining a dating website. I had done a lot of research into some of the pitfalls of internet dating.
In light of this I still put myself out there in the hope that I may meet someone special.
Today I received notification that this man has popped up again on the dating website, but he is under a different profile. I know it's him, the name is similar, and he is using the same photo. I contacted Be2 to let them know and they were appreciative of the information as they review their system on a daily basis and remove any scam profiles.
I do not want this man to hurt anyone else. Please read this story and pass it on.

Ayo Simon rental scam
Hello there, I am sending through an email chain that I received via an ad I placed on the student rent website (studentrent. co. nz). and received a response from a 26yr woman from Manchester and I found that it had been reported on this website in July of this year.From: Ayo Simon: ayosimon64 @ yahoo.com
Hello,
I saw your posting online concerning the room for rent, and I would appreciate it if i can rent the room from you. I am a 26-year-old graduate from England. My hobbies hiking, Scuba diving and reading. I am also a very clean person that loves cleaning but not a neat freak, but i would make sure at all times the house is in a good shape. I have been told I am friendly and easy to get along with. I don't do drugs nor smoke, drinks on social basis and more in between an introvert and extrovert.
Let me know the bills per week and also the method of payment you would prefer. Try to get me the pictures of the room so I can know what it looks like and kindly tell me little about your self. Kindly get back to me via email on ayosimon64 @ yahoo.com. I will await for your response later today as regards my inquiry soon. Hope to hear from you soon.
Warm Regards,
Ayo

Hey Ayo,
Bills work out to be $40-$50 per week, (should be less over summer, represents winter electricity use), preferred payment is via Internet banking.

Cheers,
From: Ayo Simon
Hi
Thanks for the reply to my e-mail. I am okay with all you have said. I should probably tell you more about myself. I just completed my BSC at University of Manchester. I like watching soap operas, swimming, and i play the guitar and paint wonderfully. I do not smoke neither do i drink. I am a young christian female, friendly, honest, and easy to get along with. I am not a neat freak, but I like to keep the house tidy. I enjoy going to the cinema's. I also enjoy watching and playing sport, amongst those being golf and football once in a while. I also like socializing with friends and am fun to be with.
I planned coming over by 4th week in Nov but i would prefer making payment prior my arrival to secure the place. As regards rent $170 works perfect p/w but i would only pay for two weeks now prior my arrival to secure the place, and then i will balance up immediately i arrive. For payment, a wire transfer into your bank account would work out perfect.
Thanks and let me know what you feel.
Ayo
Hello Ayo,
That sounds perfect to me :)
I will hold the room for you and take down the ad once initial transfer of $340 for two weeks has gone through.
Safe travels,
From: Ayo Simon
Hi,
Sounds great to hear from you again. I would prefer paying two weeks rent directly to you prior my arrival to secure the place, and then i will balance up after my arrival because my dad would make payment and he wants to ensure that proper arrangement is made now.
Regarding payment, a wire transfer into your personal bank account would work out perfect as it's easier and more reliable. Kindly get back to me with your personal bank account info such as the bank name, account number and name on account to enable my dad make payment immediately, including your cell phone number so i could always contact you. I have my picture attached to this email so you can get to know what i look like and i would like to see yours too.
Best regards,
Ayo

Thank you for your reply.
I am glad that you are still interested in my condo and I fully agree to have you as my tenant. I will have to contact the rental company and provide them all the necessary information so they can start the rental process. For that I will need your full name and the address where you want to receive the keys and rental contract.
You will receive a notification from the rental company containing all the instructions that you need to follow. Regarding the rent payment, you will be instructed to deposit the first 2 months rent to the rental company. The keys and rental contract will be delivered by their agent at your current address same day the deposit is paid. You will be given a 5 days inspection period from the day you receive the keys and contract at home. If you are satisfied with the apartment you will have to complete the rental process with the company. After you move in the apartment, the monthly payment will be sent directly to my bank account.
If you wish to proceed with renting the apartment please provide me your full name, email, phone no. and current address so I can initiate the process through the rental company right away, and of course please make sure that you have the deposit payment ready.
I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you for your time and nice cooperation.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my property.
I am looking for a responsible person that can take a very good care of it. I am not after the money for the rent but want it to be clean all the time and the possible tenant will see the house as his or her own,
and I hope that you can send me some personal information about yourself.
The condo is fully furnished with all necessary amenities (exactly like in the pics). It has dishwasher, washing machine and clothes dryer. The condo comes with two parking spots, a storage unit where you can deposit my furniture (if you don't like it and you want to use your furniture). Pets allowed.
The monthly rent for the apartment is $1,000. This will include all utilities such as water, electricity, Internet, cable, parking etc. I am looking for someone to rent anywhere from 1 month to 5 years or more.
The only problem is that I had to move with my job to United Kingdom, London where I am now and I left the keys and contract already signed by me at a rental company and they will handle the rental process. They have a program that offers the tenant the possibility to check the apartment and makes sure that the tenant is fully satisfied with the condo.
If you want to know more about how this deal can work please get back to
me ASAP and I will send you the details step by step.

From: Melony Jason <jmelony2 @ gmail.com>Thank you for your kind response. I want to confirm to you that my interest to invest good money internationally is strong. With trust, I faithfully contact you. I know this letter will definitely come to you as a huge surprise, but I implore you to take time to go through it carefully, as the decision you make will go a long way to determine our future business relationship.
I need to move about £12.5milion GBP for foreign investment. The fund was generated from several ROI (Return on Investment. This is a personal deal I executed with my office and I do not want the payments to come to our company account as I will be unable to claim it alone.
I have decided to use this amount as foreign investment. I want to present you as a foreign investor and authorize for the money to be moved to you in your country.
I need someone I can trust so that I can authorize you to be the beneficiary of the money but I need to be assured on my following concerns;
Can I trust you with the fund?
Can you keep a secret?
Can you help me find a good investment for the fund?
What areas of investment will you recommend?
What % share will you want to take for assisting me?
This is a very legal transaction and everything will be coordinated in black and white. The essence of secrecy cannot be underestimated because, a lot of money is involved, and you cannot trust anybody especially when it comes to this amount of money.
God bless you as you consent to work with my team in honesty. Let me know if we can work together. I have strong plans to compensate your assistance.
Warm regards.

Message two:
Hi there,
I have given a great deal of thought about this and I think that sending the keys is not such a good idea. I want to use a third party to handle this for us and I hope it's ok for you, too. I want to use the ParcelForce Company. They are a well known company all over the world. So, I went to their office in Edinburgh and I told them that I want to rent my apartment and they told me that they have a new service i can use. So, here is how it goes: I start over the process with ParcelForce here in Edinburgh and I leave the keys and a copy of the contract at ParcelForce.Then they'll e-mail you all the information you need to continue the transaction at your end. As per the ParcelForce`s instructions you send the funds to ParcelForce and then ParcelForce will FedEx-overnight the keys and the contract to you. Then you look around the apartment and decide whether take it or not. If you decide not to rent the apartment ParcelForce will refund you within 24 hours and you return the keys to me. It's clear and simple. This is the only way to do it given the circumstances and that is an overseas rental process. All I want is to both be safe. The deposit you have to send it's $2400 and it's for the first month rent and for the security deposit. This is the ParcelForce website I am talking about: [link removed]
Should i begin the process with ParcelForce? Please e-mail me and let me know and tomorrow you could have the keys in hand if you complete your end in a timely fashion.
Thank you,

Family Financial Support
I received a message from a Facebook account, telling me about “Family Financial Support”. They offer $50,000 cash, but in order to receive the money, I need to pay a shipping fee of $750 through Western Union. Once $750 has been paid, they ask for $2,500 to clear taxes. The initial message they send is: "Kia Ora, willing to share this with you. have you heard about the Family Financial Support? They supported my family and i in paying my bills, helping me to plan my future. They made sure my credit record is good, Family financial Support are really doing a great job now for people. I received $50,000 cash from them so far, this is really helping me in planning throughout this year. You can give it a shot email them on new year support @ live com to enroll.

Hello
Sounds great to hear from you again. You sound nice and i can't wait to meet you in person any longer. Everything seem fine with me but i would prefer paying 2 weeks rent directly to you prior my arrival to secure the place and then i will balance up after my arrival, because my dad would make payment and he wants to ensure that proper arrangement is made now.
I intend taking MBA after my arrival. I am glad to hear that you could come pick me up at the airport, that's so nice of you. As regards payment, a wire transfer into your bank account would work out perfect cause it's easier and more reliable. Kindly get back to me with your bank account info to enable my dad make payment immediately, including your cell phone number so i could always contact you. I have my picture attached to this email so you can get to know what i look like and i would like to see yours too.

I am also tidy, I don't do drugs nor smoke, drinks on social basis and more in between an introvert and extrovert. Let me know the bills per month and also the method of payment you would prefer. Try to get me the pictures of the room so I can know what it looks like and kindly tell me little about your self.

Hi Sandra
Thank you for your interest in my Monaro.
I am reluctantly selling my pride and joy to down size to a smaller car.
I am not aware of any mechanical problems with the car.
The car is currently due for its 150000km service. Since the car is going to the NT it will have to go over the inspection pits before transferring the licence.
We live in Mandurah, West Australia which is 80 KM south of Perth.
We could if required deliver the car to a Perth courier address.
The number plate is a personal number plate and I will be taking them off the car and replacing them with WA Plates.
So if you wish to go ahead please deposit $21740 into our bank account

Thanks for taking the time to look at my property.
I am looking for a responsible person that can take a very good care of it. I am not after the money for the rent but want it to be clean all the time and the possible tenant will see the house as his or her own, and I hope that you can send me some personal information about yourself.
The condo is fully furnished with all necessary amenities (exactly like in the pics). It has dishwasher, washing machine and clothes dryer. The condo comes with two parking spots, a storage unit where you can deposit my furniture (if you don't like it and you want to use your furniture). Pets allowed. The monthly rent for the apartment is $1,100. This will include all utilities such as water, electricity, Internet, cable, parking etc. I am looking for someone to rent anywhere from 1 month to 5 years or more.
The only problem is that I had to move with my job to United Kingdom, London where I am now and I left the keys and contract already signed by me at a rental company and they will handle the rental process. They have a program that offers the tenant the possibility to check the apartment and makes sure that the tenant is fully satisfied with the condo.
If you want to know more about how this deal can work please get back to me ASAP and I will send you the details step by step.

Thank you for your reply.
I am glad that you are still interested in my condo and I fully agree to have you as my tenant. I will have to contact the rental company and provide them all the necessary information so they can start the rental process. For that I will need your full name and the address where you want to receive the keys and rental contract.
You will receive a notification from the rental company containing all the instructions that you need to follow. Regarding the rent payment, you will be instructed to deposit the first 2 months rent to the rental company. The keys and rental contract will be delivered by their agent at your current address same day the deposit is paid. You will be given a 5 days inspection period from the day you receive the keys and contract at home. If you are satisfied with the apartment you will have to complete the rental process with the company. After you move in the apartment, the monthly payment will be sent directly to my bank account.

The caravan is currently located in Auckland and is ready for delivery anywhere in New Zealand. The transport will be made through eBay Motors and delivery time will be 3/4 days, depending on your address. The caravan has been highly maintained and has absolutely no problem.

Hi. We received this email about a vehicle we have advertised on trademe. I thought it was too good to be true so fortunately before sending any bank account details and by googling the email address this web site came up with it as a scam.

Hi Rebeca
I would not be happy selling the motor home unless you were able to come & see it in person & test drive it.
The previous owners did tour the South Island in it. I purchased it in Tauranga and drove it down to Christchurch May 2011. I lived in it on a caravan park for about 4 months when I came down to help with the rebuild of Christchurch. Since then it has been used infrequently for contactors to stay in when we were very busy. It is an older model and not the most powerful of engines, but has many extra features that others do not have.
When would you be looking to purchase it?
Regards
From: "Rebeca Kingsley" <rebecakingsley gmail.com>

Am I not able to meet with an agent and make payment and sign contract and receive keys at the same time as I'm not willing to send money through western union knowing it's untraceable when you send money (I've dealt with western union before) . This all doesn't seem right and I'd rather meet with an agent or have a contract sent first as this seems like a scam . Sorry if I'm wrong but having a son and another one on the way I'm not willing to lose out on that kind of money .

I just received the confirmation from the rental company that your application has been approved.
They said that they sent you a notification with all the information you need to continue with the rental process, please let me know if you did received it. You can check the application status on their website http //rent-inc zxq net/LeaseVerification html with lease id 589XXX43
You have to confirm the deposit payment so they can send the keys and you can go and check the apartment. The deposit must be confirmed in no more then 48 hours or the application will expire.
I have to give you a tip about the payment. You were requested to make a transfer with Western Union.
With this company you can send money to friends, family, and also pay your bills and rent, I suggest that when you make the transfer, you tell them that you are sending the money for a friend or relative. This way the Western Union fee will be around 50 $, if you tell them that you pay for a rental company the fee can be 5 times higher because they have special services for rent payments. I hope this will help you save some money. Anyway you don't have to worry about this because you will be fully refunded in case you don't want to rent the apartment and also this is just for deposit, the monthly rent will be paid directly to my account no charges. I look forward to receive news from you and from the rental company so you can move in the apartment as soon.
Thank you!

i will like to buy your item listed for sale on trademe,pls get back to me now with the lowest price and condition on my email address: rebecakingsley gmail.com
On Sun, Mar 17, 2013 , John Doewrote:
Hi Rebecca,
thank you for your enquiry.
As per our advertising the price is either a $6500 deposit, which immediately secures your shareholding in the ownership company, and the $4875.00 monthly amount during the build/launch process of 12 payments. OR I could do the the full 10% share ownership for half now half on launch at a discounted price of $60K (thats $30 +$30K) OR a one off payment of $55,000 with no loss of any entitlements, initial full use availability of vehicle when in town until launch.
I am at present preparing a folder with as much information as possible on the build process and how this is managed. I should be able to email this to you soon and am waiting on the final contract regarding the shared ownership agreement for the boat.Meanwhile there is a lot of information regarding the boat and its pedigree on the Australian fusion site.
Thanks for your enquiry Rebecca and I look forward to hearing from again.
Kind Regards

Thanks for the detailed explanation ,although have check the photos on the add and am satisfied with it .

PS: i will pay you full payment once
On Mon, Mar 18, 2013, John Doewrote:
Hi Rebecca,
It will be awesome to have you on board!
What I will require is the name in which you want the ownership share of the boat in.
I mean will it be your name? or a company name?
I also need a physical address for this registration as the boat will also be registered with a "NZL" number which is like a car registration number so that it adds extra security and identification for your protection, insurance etc.
I will sort out the bank details and send through to you soon.
If you let me know what name and address you wish to appear on the invoice/receipt and to appear in the share registry then that is all that is needed at the moment.
kind regards
John.

I was just about to pay when i had this little problem with the picking up,my pick up agent says i will need to pay for the pick up before they can schedule a pick up time,they charged me $2000 for pick up and delivery,and payments for pick up made through them is made to their corporate international headquarters which is in United States of America and the payments is made through western union money transfer,i will add the $2000 to the money i will send through the transfer as soon as i have made the payments.
I will email you and let you know and please i will need you to help me send the money to my pick up agent Headquarters in USA through western union money transfer,this can be done at any western union section at the post office,there is always western union money transfer section in most post offices.
On Mon, Mar 25, 2013 at 4:48 PM, John Doewrote:
Hi, so this is pick ups meaning the cost of the transfer of the money? I presume.
Would your trading bank not do this for a smaller sum perhaps.
There is no physical collection of any goods at this end obviously.
Just paperwork that will be emailed or couriered.
We havent had any issues with the transfer of funds form Australian banks as they own ours mostly anyway.
No worries, keep me posted.

Hi There,
Vehicle is still for sale. The car is in pretty good condition. The paint has faded a bit due to being red. The only damage to the car is a small rip in the drivers seat (has been stitched up and can be covered with seat covers) also at the front where the number plate goes there is a minor dent (someone reversed into me with tow bar) it can be replaced for about $50-80 at wreckers but I never worried about it. My dad is a mechanic so the vehicle has been serviced regularly and he also re built the motor about 1.5 years ago. It's been in our family for about 10 years and I have never had any problems with it. Very reliable. I will consider any offers.

I just finished paying for the car, please check your e-mail folders for the receipt that would be sent to you by the payment company, I made an additional $1,500 which is for freight of the car, I'll be needing you to help me here by helping me to send the money over to the Freight Agents through Western Union because I am not allowed to go out of my jurisdiction at the moment so I am not able to send the money to the agent by myself because I will need to get into a Post Shop to use Western Union and none of those things even works here.
Here is the courier details which you're required to send the money to,
Vincent Hudson
3 Jalan Desa
Kepong
Kuala Lumpur
52100
Malaysia
More details about the payment should be on the emails you will receive, please read the emails carefully and understand the procedure if there is any, I would like to you give the address which you would like the car to be collected.
A Pleasure Meeting You.

Hello,
Thanks for getting back to me, I am happy with the condition and the price. I will be paying directly through Bank to Bank transfer or via PayPal. I'm currently working overseas in the Mining Outskirts of Bosnia with my Company euro max resources so I wont be able to come and do things personally,But I'll make sure that all costs will be fully covered by me and I will arrange for the pick up and document changes. I have a Courier agent that handles this all the time. I'll add the 4.6% paypal surcharge to the total amount I'm paying you. If you could just send me a paypal payment invoice or create an account at www paypal com if you don't already have one. I will make a confirmed pick up arrangement with my Courier shipping agent who will be coming over for pick up once you receive full payment into your Bank account or your PayPal account. My shipping agent will handle everything perfectly & take care of all documents whenever they come for the pick up, as I mentioned before I have used them before and trust that they know exactly what they are doing.
Please can you provide me with the following information:
Name
PayPal Email address
Cell Phone No
Total Amount
Or
Account Name
Bank Name
Account Number
IBAN
Total Amount
As soon as you get back to me with the info I will make the payment and instruct my agent to handle all documents and pick up. Excited to be dealing with you.

I was selling a car on Trademe last week. A guy sent me an Email saying he is from UK and was interested in buying my car. As a sailor, he only uses internet “PayPal” money transfer system for business. I registered a “PayPal” account, and immediately received an Email from Service paypal.com saying they had deducted the money from the buyer (inc. shipping fees) but the payment is on hold until I pay for the shipping fees $1000. The buyer then told me that he cannot make the payment to his shipping company in UK, so I need to do his a favour to pay the fee. At that time, I didn’t realize the transaction ID that the “PayPal” has sent to me was fraudulent. As the second attachment shows, that fake “PayPal” guy told me that the buyer required to have $1000 paid to a guy called “James Adele” in UK (Shipping company) via Western Union.
Since I am not familiar with “PayPal” system, I had trusted them that my money was on hold, so I did what they told me to do for releasing the buyer’s payment. When they asked me to pay for the shipping insurance fees again to James Adele, I felt there was something not right. Therefore, I went to PayPal website and check for the validation of the transaction, but I sent out the money to them before the reply from the real “PayPal” people come back and said I have been tricked by internet scams.

Hi Andrew,
I’ve just had its WOF and registration fees sorted a couple of weeks ago for you. Also, I did a full car service, (inc. engine wash) at that time as well. There is nothing much you need to worry about, but a bit scratches on the right front of the vehicle and wheels, (‘cause I am not an excellent car parker). If you're really keen, as I told other potential buyers as well, I can offer a 100 bucks discount for these little flaws, so it finally comes up with $9400. By the way, to maintain a good condition of the engine, I recommend you to use premium petrol.
Hopefully I answered all your questions.

Hello,
Thanks for your response. $9.800 NZD is a nice and accepted price. I will be adding the 3.9% PayPal surcharge to the total amount i will be paying you. So i will be paying directly into your PayPal account without any delay, and i hope you have a PayPal account. If you have one already, just send me the address to send it to, which is the email address you use for it or you can send me a PayPal money request, so once i receive the details i will go ahead with the payment through PayPal and then i will contact my shipping company after you get the payment. I will need your home address for the merchandise to be Picked Up by the Shipping Company. I want you to know that i have made an arrangement with the courier company coming to pick up the merchandise and i signed a note of authorization with them so their courier representative can sign for the necessary documentation on my behalf.
So concerning the issue of the documentations of the car and the signing, I want you to know that an arrangement has been made with a courier company to pick up the merchandise and the representative coming will bring along the copy of my identification for you to have full data to make the change of ownership and the representative will be the signatory to the documents as I have signed a note of authorization with his company I await your mail.

Oh, I didn’t realize you are not local in Wellington. Thanks for choosing to purchase my vehicle, but I’ve never used PayPal before. If you are ready to pay me now, I can register an account in PayPal for this purchase tonight, and hopefully we can sort the payment out by tomorrow. By that time, we can then discuss how to sort all the relevant documentations out with your representative. Does it sound all right to you? Sorry, I am pretty new to this process.

Hi Andrew,
I had a look at PayPal last night and found we’re not too familiar their system. To take it easy, can you ask anyone you trust (e.g. your representative) to come and check my vehicle, including test driving, please? What I prefer doing is you ensure everything is acceptable before shipping to UK and pay me directly to my ASB bank account which I can provide you later.
Sorry, I thought about it and really don’t want to complicate things. If you still keen, please let me know.

Hello,
I want you to know that this is very easy to understand not the matter of underage once you are old enough to cash out your money from the paypal.What is there is that paypal has approved the payment and it has been removed from my account and it is on pending to your account due to the condition that the transport company gave to me that they will need to confirmed there transport charges to pick the auto up from your home.and all the charges is to be transferred to there head office in United Kingdom.
I should have made the transfer through western union myself but i am not with my credit card to transfer the money to them online and there is no way i can do that here on sea cause i am sailing right now.so i hope you understand my point.
So about your own money,it has been confirmed but i need you to help me transfer the charges to the transport company first in U.K through western union so that is the reason i made the additional payment to your account and i include the charges the western union you charge you and once you have get the money transfer and my bank has confirmed that, they will get your account credited immediately.
So i will wait to read back from you soonest.
Thanks.
Maxwell.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my property.
I am looking for a responsible person that can take a very good care of it. I am not after the money for the rent but want it to be clean all the time and the possible tenant will see the house as his or her own,
and I hope that you can send me some personal information about yourself.
The condo is fully furnished with all necessary amenities (exactly like in the pics). It has dishwasher, washing machine and clothes dryer. The condo comes with two parking spots, a storage unit where you can deposit my furniture (if you don't like it and you want to use your furniture). Pets allowed.
The monthly rent for the apartment is $1,240. This will include all utilities such as water, electricity, Internet, cable, parking etc. I am looking for someone to rent anywhere from 1 month to 5 years or more.
The only problem is that I had to move with my job to United Kingdom, London where I am now and I left the keys and contract already signed by me at a rental company and they will handle the rental process. They have a program that offers the tenant the possibility to check the apartment and makes sure that the tenant is fully satisfied with the condo.
If you want to know more about how this deal can work please get back to
me ASAP and I will send you the details step by step.

Hi Thomas,
WOW that is an amazing offer! My partner and I have a child and I would of course store all of your precious items in you storage locker and you will see that my references reflect my looking after places very well.
What are your expectations of bond and rent in advance etc? We are looking for long term but this could move at any given time if you had to come back.
If, like I said, the property of not suitable for children in your eyes, I will understand completely.

Thank you for your reply.
I am glad that you are still interested in my condo and I fully agree to have you as my tenant. I will have to contact the rental company and provide them all the necessary information so they can start the rental process. For that I will need your full name and the address where you want to receive the keys and rental contract.
You will receive a notification from the rental company containing all the instructions that you need to follow. Regarding the rent payment, you will be instructed to deposit the first 2 months rent to the rental company. The keys and rental contract will be delivered by their agent at your current address same day the deposit is paid. You will be given a 5 days inspection period from the day you receive the keys and contract at home. If you are satisfied with the apartment you will have to complete the rental process with the company. After you move in the apartment, the monthly payment will be sent directly to my bank account.
If you wish to proceed with renting the apartment please provide me your full name and Address so I can initiate the process through the rental company right away, and of course please make sure that you have the deposit payment ready.
I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you for your time and nice cooperation.

It's a good little car and I wouldn't be selling if my partner hadn't have bought a new one. It appears you are in the UK - is that correct? How soon would you be in Sydney to check out the car?

I made enquiries and before long the 'owner' (going by the name Aiden Baudin with the email aidenbaudin hotmail.com) was saying that he has recently moved to London because, as a vascular surgeon, he has just gotten a job at London Bridge Hospital. Therefore, in order for me to receive the keys I must provide my details and a security deposit of $1200 to a UK based shipping company called OLX removals (www olx-removals com). The website actually looks very legitimate. I know how dodgy the story sounds on paper, but I find it hard to believe that OLX Removals does not actually exist. Anyway, I contacted them and they confirmed that Aiden Baudin is a customer, that they provide escrow transactions and basically corroborated his story. I then called up the owners of the building in which the apartment is and they said that no one by the name Aiden Baudin owns any property there, though they cannot rule out the possibility that he does because it could be owned under a company name. I then emailed London Bridge Hospital who told me that there is no one called Aiden Baudin consulting for them.

I really do not want you getting worked-up about the delay in the arrival of the payment as I am all too aware that it will soon arrive.

Today 30/1/2013 I received what i believe to be three fake Australian Money Orders each for the sum of $950.00, one dated 30 November 2012 and two dated 10th December 2012.
I did not reply to the last three emails but did send email saying that i had reported this as a scam to Gumtree and that i would take the money orders to the police because there was no return address.
I have also reported this on ORB (the Online Reporting Button) .
Hi, two weeks ago I setup my profile with a website called Badoo. Via this website a guy claiming to be Hayden Algorri, contacted me and we have been in email contact since then. His initial contact with me in the beginning was to get to know me, and he now knows everything about me and my family. He said he was based in Libya.
Anyway recently he emailed me and said that he will be going on a mission and that he needs a military phone to communicate with me and that the phone will cost 300 USD.
Then he contacted me this week on Thursday and said he has a secret he needs to reveal to me. He emailed me yesterday and told me about this secret of which I attach I copy of the email. Hayden is with Yahoo messenger his ID is algorrih his email address is algorrih yahoo.com
He said he is Seargent Major based in Libya he and his patrol ran into a building, he claims belonged to a Dr Kareem. He said him and his solder friends 5 of them found a box hidden in the ground and in the box was 100-US dollar bills which amounted to 17.5 million USD. He said that his soldier friends were killed in the war and he is the only surviving party of this so-called box. Before his friends died, they had the money transported to Nigeria, and the money was stored in valuable goods and that the security firm do not know that money is stored in these valuable goods. He said all he needs is for me to get in contact with a barrister called Andrew Barker, his email address barrister.andrewbarkerr lawyer.com and he then advised that Andrew Barker will contact me for further instructions. Then I received an email from Andrew Barker who advised in order for the goods to be released from the Security firm he needs to two forms of ID of the following: international passport number, National approved Identity card, recent passport photo graph, receipt of last tax bill or bill payment. Andrew advised, you are to provide two of the above stated document as its mandatory. I did respond to Andrew Barker and that I will provide the required documents.
I came to my senses and told Hayden I don't believe him.
Then Hayden claims that Andrew will then organise for the valuable goods to be transported to NZ, and he said an American diplomat will deliver the goods to my address.
Last week a Captain in the US army, his name Miller found me on Badoo. I told the Captain about this so-called Hayden, and he told me to be careful because lots of African men taking US soldier ID to take advantage of vulnerable and dumb women like me. He had Hayden investigated and he said that the real Hayden Algorri serves for the US army, and apparantly his ID has been stolen by some African man.
I have attached a letter by Hayden by his so-called 17.5 million & letter by the barrister Andrew Barker, & I have attached Messenger conversation between me and Hayden on the 19/01/13.

Hi there, I clicked that this was a scam only because I keep getting emails from this person from different email addresses, this time a hotmail address! At first , I replied because I didn't think advertising on a website for a room through a Australian website for flatmates was a target! I had found that the "real" Jane is on facebook, and It doesnt say she works for Qantas!!
When I received this last email I became more concerned as this person has attached a NZ passport and photos.

The Department has been contacted by a New Zealand company advising the following:We are having issues with fraudulent sign ups to our Network where stolen NZ driver license details are being used to apply for service.
One of the Customers whose license was used in an attempt to gain service has advised he applied for a job on Gumtree: view the job advertisement .pdf (125k)* where he was required to send copies of his ID then he heard nothing back.
We suspect this person (and other scammers) is obtaining identity information from unsuspecting victims with the intention to use the information to obtain various services.
The Department has been made aware of a Facebook scam offering Woolworths, Coles, Bunnings and Harvey John gift vouchers if you follow 'three simple steps" . The following is taken directly from the website farmonline.com.au:
Fake Woolworths, Coles and Harvey John gift vouchers are circulating on Facebook in what the retailers warn is a scam designed to collect personal information.
The $400 or $500 vouchers have spread quickly because of what appears to be endorsement from Facebook friends. Complicating matters is the fact the retailers often have real gift voucher competitions running on their official pages.
“Please be aware there are some possible email, survey, website and Facebook scams currently circulating using the Woolworths name and logo,” a Woolworths spokesman said on Tuesday.
“These 'phishing' scams illegally imitate well-known brands to try to collect customers' personal information.”
The scams direct people to a website, for instance Woolworthsfree.net or harveynorman.org, offering free gift vouchers to those who follow three “simple steps”. The site has a counter that appears to show the vouchers rapidly running out in real time, “thank you” comments from what appear to be real Facebook users and a section claiming more than 6 million people have liked the page so far.
Software architect Troy Hunt, who uncovers online scams on his blog, wrote that the “sense of urgency”, apparent popularity and air of authenticity attracts unsuspecting victims. He said he had analysed the code line by line and all of this was fake. He said he believed the scammer was located in Albania and this meant it was difficult for authorities to tackle the scam.
“People in Australia being scammed by a guy in Albania using a server hosted in Germany. Who do the cops speak to?” Mr Hunt wrote. “My experience talking with the authorities about the call centre scammers shows that things like this just get filed away in the 'too hard' basket.” The fact victims are asked to share the scam with friends to claim the “prize” means it can spread quickly through social networks.
Woolworths first warned its customers about the fake vouchers months ago but has recently put up another warning on its Facebook page as customers keep being duped and many blame the retailer.
“Not happy. Since entering this competition my inbox has been spammed daily with offers from all sorts of companies despite ticking the box saying I didn't want to be contacted,” one victim wrote on Friday. “I fell for it because they used your name, but don't know how to report it. It seemed legit because I have entered real Woolworths competitions before. Still I am wiser now.”
Woolworths said it would never ask customers for their personal or banking details in unsolicited communications. It said all of its official competitions were run from its own Facebook page and were also posted on the promotions and competitions page of woolworths com au.
Coles also issued a warning on its Facebook page this month notifying customers of the scam.

Hi Shelby, glad to hear from you and your plans. I'm looking forward to meet you and Jason. And thankful that your considering me as a caregiver for your son. I live in Palm Spring Fl, have 2 kids that are already in school. I have no problems with traveling to your hotel, but if you like for me to take care of Jason in a bigger place like my house I have no problem with that either. Well thanks again for considering me for the job, and will do the best in helping you and Jason during the time you spend here in Fl. Hope to hear more from you soon.

Hello Jane, thanks for getting back to me. I do hope I can count on you as my son’s care provider. You can also be our long-term caregiver because we are on the verge of relocating to Palm beach gardens, FL. Will be putting up in a hotel pending when am able to get a house to buy.
I am willing to pay $15 per hour and I will need you from 10 am to 6 pm daily. I am not sure if I added this to my first email, but I am also hearing impaired.
Jason is currently in a wheelchair due to an accident he had a few months ago from which we lost his father. Although he can walk a few steps, the specialist has advised to use the chair for a while.
I am planning on getting him a power wheelchair upon our arrival. Please get back to me with the your following information so I can to know more about you.

Thank you for the details. You will be paid for his snacks/food daily or at the end of each week (which ever you prefer). When we arrive, I will make provisions for him to be home-schooled.
I was in Florida about six months ago and had a caregiver who lived in Homestead, FL; however, she moved to Spain with her husband about three months ago. I had booked a nanny, and on arrival, she told me she got another job, which was a big disappointment.
For this reason, my conscience arrived at paying (DEPOSITING) you for the first week of your service before our arrival and securing the date, so I can be absolutely sure you will care for my son. I want to make sure things go perfectly without disappointment.
I am planning on having the wheelchair seller deliver it to you immediately after payment, so you can have it ready for my son on our arrival since the seller lives in Florida. I hope that isn't a problem? I will be looking forward to your email to ensure we are on the same page.
Thanks once again,
Shelby

Good morning, A couple of days ago I was asked to ‘friend’ a work colleague and accepted the invite, this account depicted a photo of her. However this account is a duplicate by some scammer – the attached message was sent to me this morning. The person, on reading my final message instantly deleted and blocked our ‘friendship’.
Jane Doe: How as your night
ME: I was home last night so it was quiet and full of sleep. You?
Jane Doe: Oh i see. Did you heard the great news
ME: No, what news?
Jane Doe: Did you heard about ibc company
ME: No
Jane Doe: Really? Did you know that i got $300,000 from ibc company and i saw your name when they came delivered me my money
Did you receive any money yet because i saw your name when they came delivered me my money?
ME:Nope, not me. So where's my money?
Jane Doe: You need to contact the ibc manager so that you can get your money deliver. The ibc manager name is donovan. You will add him online and talk to him?
ME: sure thing, send me his contact details, and his phone number, I'll give him a call and get it organised
Jane Doe: they dont use phone for security reason. You wil add him online and talk to him. click here to contact the ibc manager so that you can get money deliver http //www facebook com/donovan.cresdee.3

Hello, I was met a guy "Cosimo King" through online dating (below are a couple of emails from him) and I thankfully goggled his name and stumbled across this scam section. I was on NZ Dating, and I tried to look up Cosimo’s user name but it had been disabled as soon as I was messaged. He sent me his email address telling me that they don’t go on NZD often and emails were a more reliable way to communicate. I understood the logic as I have made many friends off NZD (who I have now met) and we did the same thing.
I just wanted to show a couple of examples of what he sent in case someone is emailing a scammer so they can see the kind of messages that these 'people' send to make you fall for them. I will send more in when he starts asking me to cover plane tickets or whatever he 'suddenly' needs money for.

Subject: Re: Hello,
Dear Jane
It was nice to hear from you and thank you very much for the informative note, I do appreciate your openness.Am pretty new at this online thing, I do receive loads of msg but they just wouldnt grab my attention, I just wouldn't read them anyway. I'm big believer in what is worth doing at all is worth doing well and wouldn't spend a second of my time on anything that doesnt interest me...
I say what needs to be said and don't stew up on things" I prefer to listen than speak, I only do when necessary :). I hope those expressions tells you a little more about me.. I'm sure you've been through one thing or the other yourself but am glad you've not given up.
I have been on my own for a number of years, and this is a very different way of meeting people but here I go anyways. I am not here looking for a weekend woman , I am here in search for a woman that will make me the kind of man i wanna be and I'll do the same for you.
Its not about AGE, distance/ Location, outlook, religion, size, etc Its about true and sincere heart and understanding. Love surpass miles/distance. I have no problem relocating for the true love, because with love and peace everything it possible and i do believe you and I are able enough to overcome/overtake the distance by power of true love.
I was born in Otago NZ , lived there till I was 3 and moved to Greece with my Mother, after their separation, I was always back and fort to London where I got married with my late wife , Then later I finally relocated to New Zealand where i am now . I'm a petrochemical Eng by major but I am independent contractor/entrepreneur deals with supplying oil and gas service and maintenance equipments ,with my own skilled group of casual worker.I work on project bases.
I have came across a few bad apples and I understand thats just a part of human that is inevitable, like I said. I really do feel comfortable and free with you despite the fact that we've not met and this really means lots to me because I;ve never felt this way about anyone in a long time.
I understood just about everything you talked about and I do appreciate your time, I find this online thing to exciting but risky and most importantly adventurous, it takes a little more of a dreamer to realize and make the best of it and thats why I decided to let my guards down a little. I dont wanna sound strange but you cross my mind more than often and itching to know all about you.
Thank You
Cosimo.

Dear Jane,
You have no idea how much i always long for your email and I really have no word to describe how i feel whenever I read your note, I felt your energy close to me, Your presence is awesome here and so strong and deep, Always feels good to hear from you, again your your note always fills my heart with hope and joy.
I seek mutual relationship with you base on mutual trust, respect, sincere, honest, faithful. Lets look into the future together , I sense a great and happy things and I know there is a victory ahead of us . Since i grown up in Greece, I still have my accent and will stay for ever with me .
I believe true and sincere relationship doesn't count/base on distance or whatever, its count and based on true and sincere heart, Im will do anything for true love at any cost . I will visit you soon and have a candid talk regarding the distance and others issue, I have no fear because You and I are able to overcome/Overtake the distance, Not a barrier that we can't break.
Here is my plan, I have a supply project to carry out in Malaysia, I will be supplying Heavy duty maintenance and Industrial Equipment & Components to a client and we have reached agreement, So I will be leaving for Malaysia on Tue 16 Oct, 2012. And i have made up my mind Upon completion of the supply , I will book my onward return flight ticket to you and be with you, so that we can hold one on one candid discussion together regarding our feelings life ahead of us, there is a lot to talk about and I can't wait to be with you .
I speak Greek and English. Things that am proud of, My late mom how she raised me well. proud of who I am and my son is another thing. Things do I feel passionate about; Passion for peace around me and the world, I dislike violence against anything or anybody and the situation I live in doesn’t have to live in me and don’t let yesterday take up too much of today. We all carry pain, wounds and memories, stored in bodies, from past, set them free. I believe the last of the human freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances because happiness doesn’t come from our circumstances, but from the way we think about them.
What do I want most from life; Every day above ground is a great day, keep goodness apart that is may not touch vanity. I would like to take myself to where I feel peace and nurtured, reconnect to find ways that can help heal me to do more good things to help others. External life is about the shadow of the inner reality.
I mean what i say and i say what i mean, I am a man of my word and I don't say words for saying sake or purpose, I will always watch over my words not to returned to me VOID, Though i'm not perfect, but i'm honest man. How many Language can you speak? What three things are you most proud about? What things do you feel passionate about? What do you want most from life?
I have true and sincere feelings for you just likes the Rains fall, winds blow, the sun shines. it all comes naturally, Though it might sound very very crazy, stupid and silly to ur hearing.
I am highly interested learning more about you and take things to next level. Mutual communication is very vital for successful and productive relationship. Again I have no interest in head games. I value my time and others. I will try write you on my transit or shall i write you priority as soon as i arrive in Malaysia.
Regards,
Cosimo.

Sweetheart Jane , I love calling your name Jane
Thank you for the, hotels information and thank you for having faith and trust in me I will not hurt/harm in any way and i will not leads you to somewhere that is not safe.. I will keep you update as soon as i get my project done here, I can't wait to be with you.
There is a lot to talk about face to face.I shall give you more details as my project progress. Any of the hotel in your town will do me, I just want to be with you there, talk face to face, learn more about oneself, I want to hold your hand , look you at your face and speak from bottom of my heart to your heart, How much i want this and serious with you.
I got to say , There is really something about you and there is no way i cant explain how i feel. I actually think every minute about what I could write you to tell you how much you mean to me..How happy I am that you came into my life.
I don't know, there actually aren't really the right words to express it...because even the most loving and best words aren't enough to express how happy I am and what I feel for you.and I swear to you with all my heart that I will do everything, really everything to make you as happy as you make me.
And that's true as well, we became very close in a very short time..but I think only because we both feel that it's right, we both know that it feels right for us and we know that for neither of us it's a game or an adventure...we have enough experience to know that..and yes it's true, you have the same expectations in a relationship as I do and that's why I know it'll be wonderful.I'm so sure about that....and I really really wish and hope that everything will work out well..I just want to be with you and that forever.all these things you named .
I'm looking forward to having you with me so much.when I can finally feel you near..My love for you is endless..I'm so sure that the first time we'll meet and everything after that will be so wonderful.

I don't have a paypal account. Everything I have sold over the net has been to people within NZ so it's just been cash etc but I'm 1 step away from getting an account. Tomorrow I'll go to my bank and get a credit card so I can forward you the details. It would have been done but for some reason the registration process with paypal won't accept my current credit card number. Maybe it's because I only have a visa debit card. Not sure but thanks for you patience.

I have just completed the Payment of the car and i am sure you have received the confirmation from PayPal regarding the Payment, you can check your paypal e-mail for confirmation of payment. I want you to send me your address so that the pick up can be arranged, the car would be picked up by the Courier Company(ASPED EXPRESS) which I've been using for a while and they're very reliable. I made an extra payment of $1,153 and i am sure you noticed that, you'll have to send the extra amount to the Shipping Company through Western Union right away, so that they can come ahead for the pick up and also you should send the necessary Western Union Payment Information. I will need you to send the excess fund to my pick up agent Headquarters where they normally confirm any commission payment to via western union money transfer(this can be done from the post office, as they usually have a western union agent there). Here is my pick up agent Headquarter info needed to send the money through Western Union.
Name: Edward Peters
Address: 5 Hyde Park Gate,
City: Kensington

You should send the money soon so that the Pick Up would be scheduled and you would know when the Pick Up would commence, make sure you're home. I advice you to check both your inbox or junk/spam folder for the payment confirmation message.
So just make sure you send the extra amount to the Shipping Company right away so that your account can be credited immediately. It's Nice Doing Business With You. Get to mail me back soon with the venue of pick up. You can reach me at +447031946919

Hi, I think I have been a latest victim of being scammed by a person named Ahmed Ali in Accra, Ghana. I bought a phone from him for $300usd and he said he shipped it and also gave me a tracking number aswell (1349696422 : www.phdel.com). But after a day the called me up and told me that the New Zealand custom wants me to pay another $180usd and I do so but again he tells me that the New Zealand custom wants to know if I have an IBC card (international buying card) so I tell him no. He then tell me that I have to give him $300usd so that he can make me one. This all looked very suspicious so I called up New Zealand customs regarding this matter and they told me they don't even have the parcel and they don't ask money like that. So I will not be paying him anymore money but I have lost this much in this scam. Here is all the detail I have about this person:
phone number: +233260671264
western union detail: Name - Asor Praise Echeng
Address - 1818 mahogany ave
City - Accra
State - Accra
Country - Ghana
Zip code - 00233

I work at one of the accommodation providers that is advertised on an Australian website where you can buy cheap vouchers. A customer called up wanting to use the voucher she had purchased from the website and I had to tell her that we do not accept those vouchers and are not affiliated with that company. I tried calling the company however the phone number displayed on their website does not go through to anyone.This website is selling false accommodation vouchers and is not actually aligned with the accommodation providers it advertises.
Please be cautious when purchasing vouchers for anything off a website. Check that the organisation you are getting the voucher for will honor it.

Hi Ebora, the car's body is in excellent condition, apart from a few very slight, shallow scratches on the outside, which can hardly be seen. It has never had any structural damage and been serviced regularly for its entire life by a registered Holden dealer.
It never has any problems; for example, at the last warrant check, I only had to replace a light bulb and put water in the windscreen washers. It's been kept in a garage for 90% of its life.
I may be willing to move a little on the price, if you can point out a good reason. Basically, I priced it based on other similar cars that are currently for sale, but a bit lower.
Let me know if you'd like to have a look at it, I will be around all day today and tomorrow.

Hi:
You enquired about the B4. Yes, it’s still available.
I’m attaching a pdf file that gives additional details on the car. Pictures and dyno chart you’ve already seen on Trademe. WOF is to be renewed on Tuesday. The AA inspection report is available to view with the car.
I will be out for the afternoon, but if you’re still interested you can give me a call this evening.

Hello Ebora:
The sale can't be completed until the WOF is updated on Tuesday but then it's just a matter of completing payment and completing the transfer forms online.
For price and body condition, best thing is for you to see the car in person. Where are you located? You can view in Lower Hutt tomorrow, if you like. If you decide you want to buy, a $1000 cash non-refundable deposit will hold the car until sale can be completed next week.

Hi Ebora:
I think we can make this work. I do indeed have a Premier Paypal Account, but it has not been used in a few years and I need to make sure it’s properly set up to receive your payment. I will get back to you tomorrow once I’ve done that.
Meanwhile, I gather that you are outside of New Zealand and your agent will be shipping the vehicle to you in another country. If that is the case, the sale will be without NZ registration transfer, but I will need to contact our Motor Vehicle agency to clarify the rules for sale.
For that purpose, could you please provide your complete name, mailing address and phone number as “buyer”.
Also, I understand that you agree:
1. To pay the purchase price of $19,500 in New Zealand Dollars by Paypal.
2. To make your payment such that Paypal fees for receiving payment in NZ and for any currency exchange are covered by you.
3. On receipt of your payment, the vehicle will be available for your nominated agent to pick up, but will NOT be registered for operation on New Zealand roads and the registration plates will be removed.
I will cooperate with your agent, but you will be responsible for any export fees, inspections, etc.
I think all of the above is what you intended. Paypal fees can be a little tricky, but your challenge will be to ensure that the full amount arrives in my Paypal account, despite their various fees.
It is important that we move quickly to complete this sale, as I am leaving on a 2-week business trip to Europe next Saturday. If the deal is not complete before I leave, there will necessarily be a delay until I return.
I’ll write to you again tomorrow, once I’ve confirmed that my Paypal account is ready to receive your payment.
Very best regards,
Jane Doe

Hello again Ebora:
I think I have the Paypal account sorted, so please go ahead with your transfer. Remember to send the payment in NZ dollars and to request payment of transaction and any currency exchange fees from your account so that the full $19,500 is available in my Paypal account.
My paypal email is: jane.doe email.com

I hope we can make this work and I’m sure you’ll be very pleased with the vehicle.

Hello There,
Am glad to receive your message today. Am totally new to this Online dating , am a Christian single seeking a faithful and fruitful relationship with A TRUE soul mate. I am single and never married. Have been single since i had caught my Fiancee red handed in my room sleeping with someone else. But i have erased there path from my heart we took to meet in life, i am 30 years old by age. I`m 5`7" with a athletic build , mentally stable, physically fit, a bunch of laughs, warm, caring, honest, good listening, God Fearing, and a positive person. I am real easy person to talk to and a good listener. I love to play Football and I enjoy chilling with my friends/family I like going to the movies , or watching movies in my room ,I am a family oriented person.
I just want you to realize that this time am going to take a chance for real conversation with you provided you are serious with your intention.With this little time, I’m going to take some time for myself looking for a soul mate. It is tough these days without having to deal with people just wanting to play or cheat. I have been jilted so much in some past relationship with men and my past relationship was nothing to write home about. I have never come across a sincere person and I wish i could be fortunate someday.
I always find it hard to believe that true love still exist due to my experience in my last relationship with my X though i did not allow that to turn me down completely, am still optimistic of a better future. I no there would be "A SUNSHINE SOMEDAY" .
I honestly want someone in my life, i don't want any Game or adventures and am open up to relocating to wherever i found my true love . I want a life time relationship with someone real...I need a Genuine and trustworthy man to spend the rest of life together. Someone who is ready to love me unconditionally and who is ready to share the life greatest joy and sorrow with me ...I don’t know if this is what you want as well. ..I need a man who will be always supportive and willing to give me an unconditional love.
I would be so glad if I could meet the person in you .I will like to ask you some questions :
(i) What do you suggest about relocation??
(ii) What sort of relationship do you want??
(iii) Can you give me a brief description of your personality??
(iv) What are you really looking for here and how do you treat your woman?
(v) When was your last relationship and how did you end it and why so?
I have attached some of my Pics for you and i hope that you like them. I will be waiting to see your own pics too. Talk to you later.

Dear John,
Am so glad to get your prompt response to my email . You impressed me so much with all I read in your email and it would be my pleasure to get more acquainted with you. Thanks for being honest in your words . I believe being analytical in my email would let you know some things about me and possibly meeting in person someday if God says we are truly meant for each other. The day I saw your profile,..it was brief and straight to the point.I could see that your intention of finding REAL love is somewhat True.
I have had some disappointments in some past relationship though I believe someday somehow what Goes up would surely come down. Thesedays, one must be very cautious before choosing a life partner in order not to regret eventually .The Chemistry of relationship could be related to a Computer term (GIGO)- meaning (Garbage in Garbage out) lol! It is very compulsory one takes a good time to study each other, learning about each other to discover some compatibilities.I believe through this medium we could only learn few things about each other but when we get together and meet in person we should be able to hit it off and see if the Chemistry would work out .
I will like to tell you some things about me and would love to know some more things about you .I love the out doors, I like bike riding, walks on the beach. I love to cook and also like to dine out. When I do cook I like to share it with someone, throw in a DVD and just enjoy the company. I like to travel as well. Hope to hear from you soon.

Hello John,
Thank you for this e mail as i have been waiting for you to send me long e mails again. You seems to enjoy our conversation through text messaging more but it cost me a lot to text you from here but its okay with me if that is the sacrifice i have to pay to talk to you for now. What more can a woman say to the man who opened his heart to her, allowing her to feel the warmth of his love across the great distance that separates them ? You truly have no idea what I feel for you right now.
I try to put this feeling into words, but fail miserably. This feeling of being both scared and at peace, of having both butterflies and a sense of calm, is a feeling that I have only dreamed about. As the days continue to pass, my love for you continues to grow. I never thought I had the capacity to love anybody as much as I love you right now. Yet, my love for you continues to mature, growing beyond the realm of my heart. It seems that you have become the fiber of my soul, the very reason for my existence.
I have no other words to describe the way you make me feel. No words, no actions could even come close. I believe that Ronald Regan said it best to Nancy in a letter, telling her only that, "I more than love you". Their love was a strong love, surviving everything, even death. I believe that even after his passing, Nancy felt Ronald's love for her raining down upon her. That is why she has always seemed at peace after the death of such a truly loving husband. That is the love that I feel for you.
Forever Yours,
Bridget
Dear John,
It is my great pleasure to hear from you today and based on the fact i gathered from your email i have been somewhat convinced you are real about this relationship issue. It would be my pleasure to come to you as soon as am through here in Malaysia I would like to spend Xmas period with you, i think by doing this, we will be able to know more about each other and move closer to each other as well. What do you suggest about that? Am pleased by the befitting answers you provided to my questions. It now sounds we both have some things in common. I have Listened to those songs and i love them so much especially the one from KC and Jojo saying that i have waited for you all my life. I got your Text messages and i will send you a reply as soon as i get credit on my phone.
I can vividly see honesty reflecting in your words and am gradually getting my heart committed. I do hope you wont let me down or break my heart when we get together eventually. I have developed some faith in you and i believe we should be able to take this relationship to another level when we get together.......You impressed me a lot and i hope and pray this have an happy end because you are all i have and want to be with and spend the rest of my life with as well. Thank God i met you at the right time.
Personally, I cherish happiness and Joy of soul. I need someone who will always make me happy, someone to call my lover ,a faithful and honest man who could play both fatherly and motherly role in my life,someone that would always make me feel loved, i don't have any problem for now, i have you and you will be there for me all the time and do more than i even expected. The major things that turn me off in relationship is DISHONESTY AND GAMES in the side of my opposite sex. I cherish honesty and transparency in any relationship and dislike a game player. I have fallen in Love with you and i cant hide it anymore and pls dont hurt me.
Love you Loads

I found a scam suggesting that Amazon is hiring - currently appearing on Facebook
view the ad on Facebook and the page clicking the link takes you to .pdf (372k)*
On Thursday night, 27th of September 2012, I was on my face book site and got a chat page from my friend in Australia, saying, "She won some money on Facebook Lottery and that they came to her door and delivered the money and that my name was on the list as well as winner. I was told to befriend Randy Benson Scott and I too will get the money."
I did that and Randy said "the facebook owner picked my name as winner." To get that money, I had to pay $1500. but I did not have that amount and he said just pay $1300. to Western Union in Nigeria, which came to $1384.00. the money was send to the address below.
Name Victor Williams,
address 12 Airport Road,
State. Logo,
city. NNPC. Nigeria,
code: 23437
their phone number: +2348062324183 and +23480623241
Paid the fee for the Lawyer as they said on Friday at 10am. Then they said the money is coming by Fedfax and brought to your door. Got a txt at 4am but did not reply, till Saturday morning. I was told that that guys are at Auckland airport and needing money for taxes. They were pressuring me for $1200. I told them no I do not have it. I said you help me out pay that fee and when I get the money I will pay you back. The reply was we will pay $500, and you pay $720. Again more pressure. So I rang the airport in the afternoon about 3pm Saturday. Spoke to customs, immigration and the Airport police and they did not have two guys being held up for taxes. With that I did not speak to them again though they keep ringing and txt even yesterday, Monday at 11.11 am.
I believed the post was my friend but now looking back, she was not talking how I know she does, they were posting as her.
The thing was I would be on Facebook talking to Randy in America and then I get a call on mobile from a guy thats sound Nigerian.
They have my email address and mobile number and Facebook password and home address. very silly thing to do and have posted a warning on my page on Face book.

The following TXT came from +447829791060. Forwarded because it seemed odd to find a UK buyer for my car advertised on TradeMe. I did not reply. I subsequently received an email from TradeMe warning that my listing had been viewed by a non-legitimate member. It appears that this is who sent me the TXT. Hope this is useful to someone. Regards.
I'm satisfied with the condition of your car on trademe, what is the final price so that we can discuss about the payment,email me on abolas18 gmail.com

Hello,Jane Doe how are you doing today i hope everything is going on well with you. I want you to know that we are already on way bring your money but right now we got blocked by the New Zealand Tax Collector and border protection and right now they are demanding us to pay for clearance before we can get the money to you so right now they are having the money with them and you know the money is sealed and cant be touched at all. So right now they want us to pay them the sum of $4,000.00 for clearance so right now you will have to pay the amount so that we can get your money cleared without any delay. So right now you will have to pay the money and let me know when you will send it and you will have to send it very fast so that they wont ask for demurage cos if we dont clear the money from them very fast they will ask us to pay demurage and i wont want you to pay that again.

"Jane" and her friend have now reported this to the Police and Bobby Bill continues to call both "Jane" and her friend on their cell phones.
I have befriended this individual who says he is an American army officer - just reading it he sounds nothing like an American with his writing. It seems clear to me that it is a scam. If I am sent a case of illegal something I will contact the police immediately.

Hello Jane
I am always glad to read back from you and my instincts sure tell me we are good match. There is an issue that has got me worried for some days now and i just thought now, why not share with you, as the saying goes" a problem shared, is a problem half solved"
On the 13th of November,2010 when the Taliban Insurgent attacked Afghanistan main airport, i was privileged to save a boy's life whose father, a wealthy Gold Merchant decided to reward me with 100 Kilo Gold Bar as personal Gift ( market worth of four million US Dollars).
However,i have a challenge which troubles my minds for some time now. My camp commandant is Anti Gay and he criticizes me a lot. He will seize the Gold Bar from me if he finds out and in order to avoid this,i plan to ship it ahead of our departure day from the camp as it approaches fast.
I want you to help me receive the GOLD BAR which i plan to ship through a private courier company here, i am willing to give you 30% of any amount that will be made from the sale of the GOLD BAR, but for now i just need to get this GOLD out of here, else i loose it completely.
I will gratefully appreciate your response so i can give you further details.
I earnestly look forward to your message.

Hello Jane
I am delighted that you are willing to help receive the Gold Bar. All i need from you is a receiving address, Name and phone number to which the courier company will ship the Gold Bar. Once i have these details, i shall proceed first thing tomorrow morning to the courier company by name Al Nasser Logistics - http //alnasserlogistics com to deposit the Gold bar for shipment to you.
I have meet with the Client service manager, Mr. Karim Alshear who explained to me that it takes 4-5 working days for the package to be delivered and necessary delivery information shall be provided, such as expected delivery date, tracking, etc
I await the Address, name and phone number so i can take it to the courier company first thing tomorrow morning an deposit the Gold Bar for shipment to you.
Thank you

I am already in talks with the courier that will handle the pick-up and delivery to my family . As regards the payment, I can pay you through direct bank deposit,using ppal instant bank wire transfer service, I will need your bank details.If you are not comfortable with that, you can set up a paypal account proper at www paypal com au and I will make the payment through paypal, this way, all I will need is your paypal email address,so i can proceed with the payment and contact the courier agent who will come to pick it up and deliver it in my place.

Hi Kyle
The jet ski is in immaculate condition and there is nothing to worry about. I'm selling it due to I'm buying a house and need the extra money. They are the only photos I have I'm sorry.
Regarding your pick up, once the money has been transferred and I'm happy with it I will then release the ski to the agent. My PayPal is always_unco hotmail.com

I have just completed the payment and i expected paypal to have notified you to this effect.check your mail folders(inbox,spam and junk mail) i sent $18,400 in all.i added $1,600 but $1,500 will be sent to my agent in United Kingdom through western union at post office,the extra $100 is to cover the western union fee. Paypal said they will not release the fund until you email them the western union details for verification,and also to enable my pick up agent to come for pick up and inspection.Here is the agent's details where the money will be sent.
Ronald Smith,

United Kingdom.
Please get the necessary details sent to paypal (Money Transfer Control Number)MTCN and senders name and address used to send the $1,500 so that they can release the whole fund into your account.Please get back to me once done.

I was contacted by a "Alice Dzamesi" on date site "JapanCupid com" on 24th August 2012.
The first message was to use email, which I did and then I noticed "her" profile had gone. I had been corresponding at length for a week and exchanged photos. and texts. I did some checks and the address was Accra and the phone was African. I was wary and refused to sent money for the internet connection when asked quoting I had no spare money. I started doing a full check on Saturday 1st September when I noticed a text was 2 sent 10hrs different instead of the 12hrs for Ghana. Also the routing was from a UK message centre. I then checked other texts and found them to have come from 2 other centres. Then I found the IP routing for the emails were all different and when checked they came up as private. I thought this strange for someone claiming to be sat at a pc in her room. Sunday I have done a picture search and found most belong to a 19yr old Mexican adult entertainment star called "True Tere" and a family shot is actually from "EifinHugs Photostream" and has been doctored.
I was suspicious from day one which is why I was asking the questions.
I must say "Alice" was very convincing but I knew not to send money, not that I have any!
I spent the weekend checking things out and finding the photos was the prove I needed. I haven't disclosed to "Alice" that I know she is fake. I also had a text last night but I haven't chatted again.
This is the second email "Alice" sent me. Good indication that she was after something!

how are you doing how was your going over there? ..Thanks for the message. yes am working for the united state army what do you do for living as well ? I am really interested to know you more. I am happy with the honesty you have exhibited in telling me about yourself, I will never dispute your own thoughts and believe. Like you, I am looking for a serious relationship with a tendency of marriage, and it has also been hard to find that right person,but I can assure you when i find one,I am going to hold her in a high esteem. I will like to know if you are very serious about going into a relationship. If i may ask, are you ready to give love another chance to swallow you up ?
As i said, i will like to know more about you.
When is your birthday?
Mine is 2nd of september,and was born 1966,
What sort of food do you like? and what is your favorites? I love eating healthy but very tasty and i can cook quite well. My favorite food is sandwich. Do you also like it, and i also like Pizza, it's very cool to keep the morning going. I would hate to cook something you don't like or have allergies to ( i mean if we end up being each others answer to true love). No issues for me on that front.
How tall are you? I am (6'0).
Do you drink coffee,tea or something else? Me i go nuts for a good coffee or a cup of tea, my friends call me a coffee freak.
Do you enjoy sport, play or watch? I love a lot of things both armchair and active.
Are you a Coke or Pepsi fan or neither? I take drinks but not compulsorily Pepsi or coke, i love flavored water.
Do you drink alcohol? if so what? I'm pretty well behaved on that front as a social drinker, I love to take Irish Cream especially Baileys as my favorite, or sometimes a bit of ALIZE. Do you like a glass of wine with meal? I enjoy a glass of wine with meal, , a candle light diner on a table for two(ME AND YOU HOPEFULLY).
Do you like cuddling and romance? I love them to the core.
What are the qualities you like in a man?
What do you think about my career as a soldier, is it ok with you? ..
All my plans for now are based on meeting my soul mate ,and relocate to be together,then I can push forward some other areas of my life,because i believe having a soul mate and settling down as a family is part of the significant thing we have to do in life (let me know your opinion).
I am romantic by nature and loving by soul. I love to help others and love the laughter of children. I believe in love and all that comes with being in love. I am not your usual man in thinking that love is how many women you sleep with, but believe that being loyal and loving to one woman is what makes love special. I believe intimacy is special in both forms. So many make the mistake of thinking intimacy is the simple act of sex. But to me intimacy is the touching of two souls, the beating of two hearts as one.
Romance is a lost art these days and a lot of people often forget that the simple things in life are often the sweetest. How special it can be when two in love can simply swap a kiss, or share a walk hand in hand under a full moon. I do not pretend to be the answer to lost love, or the answer to everlasting romance. But l love with my heart and feel with my soul. I know what it means to love and to have lust. But without the feeling of pain we can never become wiser. I truly believe that for each of us we have someone out there ready to win our hearts. But without the risk their cannot be victory.
Comfort is my watch word and i am comfortable in my own skin .
I take pretty care of my self and i will do the same for my woman.
So in having expressed my inner thoughts and desires..hope to read from you pretty soon :)

Hi....how are you doing?
Your messages has really unleashed some unexpected feelings inside of me, that i am beginning to stay amazed like a kid, should i say it will be my privilege to have a may life, or should i celebrate that destiny has finally gotten me to my destination of true love, your words are zealous in nature and i feel it that you mean them.
You are a special type of a woman, you are amazing, i know your heart is truly love filled and honest.
I am Christian,I truly feel the same way about you.
I believe in true love and knows it exist, i also believe each one of us has our soul mates out there if we can locate them, i am ready to give love another chance to swallow me up, and ready for a life time commitment.
I will never take your heart for granted as it means alot to me, this i promise from the depth of my heart. I am ready to give every bit of my self as a commitment.
We share alot in common, i also love being creative and i admire the talent you've got in you, I am lucky I guess, all i have ever waited on, was meeting a woman of my dream, Now my feelings tell me you are the one, you are the one to accomplish my heart desire .
I want you to know their is nothing that is perfect in this whole wide world , so i am not into deceiving myself that i am going to meet a complete 100% my match,but a 90 will do, and you are just at that in my heart, the remaining ten percent will fill up when we are together to practice the chemistry part of our relationship, if we are both truly ready to build a relationship and live the rest of our lives together when we meet,we can both work towards that with assuring success, i am an optimistic type of person and do not believe anything is impossible, as we are and with what i have read from you, i know you are an adult of normal presence, a reasonable woman to be precise,women of your nature are not common and i know you are a gift bestowed on me to heal my broken heart, I know we are both going to find greatness in loving and living with each other, i am simple,open and easy to get on with, i have my whole heart filled with love which i am ready to give unconditionally to you if you will remain a promising woman, I will also need you to assure me that you will never break my heart,that is the worst thing that will happen to me again at this moment and it may lead to a havoc because i might not find a place in my heart to condone it.
My heart is tender and i have so much love to give like i fore said previously. i will care for you unconditionally if you will do the same to me too, this is my dreams, and i see it coming true with you and i know my heart will be glad when i get to you and i will have all cause to be happy having one of the best woman in the world.
I will be expecting to hear from you soonest, till then i will be thinking of your words cos it's so sweet and will hold you in a special place in my heart,hoping to be yours FOREVER. i will be expecting your email ... :)

Hello !
WOW WOW WOW ...
I really appreciated getting your email.
I was so cool to learn more about you.
I love soft music and the company of the one my feelings go right with(TURNING OUT TO BE YOU)!!!
So i am really looking forward to that On some our first weekends together, I will also like to go to the lakes where we can relax or go for walks, swim (if it is not too cold) we can explore some of the places in Your city, and spend time soaking in each others company.
I believe being supportive would be good for us as a couple to build a life that we want to share.
But when you are ready it is not something you have to rush out and do right away if you do not want to.
I will support and encourage you to become all that you can do and be, to fulfill your potential the way God created you. I will walk by your side and listen to your words and be supportive no matter what life may bring for as long as i have breath in this body of mine.
I am a couch potato some times it depends on the company if it means snuggling up next to you as my lover then absolutely! But i am not a couch potato in the lazy sense of the word.
I can also be a bit of a neat freak at times. I just like it to be easy, spontaneous and know we do not come back to an absolute mess (particularly if i am going to come back home to tired to tidy up).
I will like to go on trips during the summer months, we could go on trips away together for romantic weekends and just play tourists as it were, just explore the country together and melt together in each others company.
It is funny, part of me is a very excited, I have known of people who met their special half's online and i hope mine does not pass me by. That is why i have really tried to be transparent, with nothing to hide from you. As each day draws near i find myself having more interest in you and although it is not long we met each other , it seems like an eternity. But as you know God gives good things to those who wait and trust him, never let a moment of doubt creep in.
I will be faithful to you all the days of my life, i will always be there for you, and i will spend all my energy building the best relationship for us to share all the days that we live under Gods sun. So for now i say bye and not forever. will wait to read from you...

You are in my thoughts all the time. I'd tell you you're in my heart,,but I don't feel like that would be right, because my heart is not mine anymore -- it belongs to you.
You are sweet, loving, caring,I need you to know I am with you through everything, the bad and the good. I've given you my heart and I hope that you won't break it. Keep it and give it some loving from time to time.
Though the miles separate us, the bond we have is far stronger.
You are the very one I have spent all these years looking for. You make me smile. You make me laugh. You make me whole. I can not describe the giddy feeling I have when you are near or even when you cross my mind.
I am so amazingly happy and content and forever I want to spend in your life, in your world, in your family, and in your arms.

Subject: WHAT ABOUT LETTER
I’ve been thinking about letters recently. The real kind, long hand.
And how terrible it is that nobody’s writing them any more. And so I decided to start one to you. My vision of you, In mind you are a purple orchid... exotic, tender, passionate and wild. Untouchable, fragrant bloom of dark desires...evoking my deepest thoughts Lost in the dreamy wonder of an eastern forest...You are there among the whispering glades...of soft green bamboo....delicately embracing the moist warm air of night....A lover of another world...of fantasies ethereal, yet profoundly real.....Earthy...My chocolate sweetness in distant lands.....A darkened flower of refined passion...... My purple orchid... you are.
The abyss of my heart is enthralled by your undying love. I absorb your tender kisses with my lips. The a Capella beat of your heart, close to mine, Reigns everlasting and true. In the acclivity of my soul once more I whisper, ("Again, you will come").
The grandeur of your embrace, The beauty of your touch. I`ll take hold of your hand.....as we fly to heaven. My days are filled with sun, while passion rules the nights...and you there in my mind, never leaving my sight. Flowers on our table... flowers in my hair, petals on our bed, love everywhere. Kisses passed between two loving hearts...and promises that we will never part. Dreams I hold onto, grasping them close...knowing in my soul, I`m luckier than most.
Wanting you every where with me all the time as my love and my life, needing more than a dream, sometimes so much, it makes me scream. Come to me love ...live in my day. I`ll love you forever in so many ways.
I`ll give you the moon and take down the stars....I`ll live in your world, go where you are. Just whisper warm words close to my ear.. and I will give you forever. Three roses for you, my love, today...white perfection in a long stemmed creation. Fragrant, like a thousand perfumes everlasting, eternally blessed A gift of passion, Trinity...In our love... three elements, given.... Faith, Hope and Love.. Three precious gifts of light .
For love will be, undeniable, yet challenged.... A world of conflict and separation...attempting togetherness? Driven by wild attraction, determination. Faith in the possibility, happiness Living in partnership, sharing...hope in the future together, fulfilling Loving, unconditionally, provocatively...Two lives in evolution, sharing... Living in harmony adversity....Faith, Hope and Love....The three perfect roses for I await from a love This was strongly built for you from my heart.

I know you must have heard this,a million times before.
But girl here I am, I wanna say some more. It’s so amazing how you let me in your life. I’m so glad. Meanna know. Baby open the door to your heart let me enter. Your love is the purest thing that I ever felt. And being with you is the sweetest thing that I … that I ever dreamt. Take it from me. Hey With you is where I’ll rather be. And this are just some of the few things I wanna let you know. Climb the highest mountain and I will climb it with you. Baby believe, I’ll never let you go. Because with you is where I’ll rather be. And when you took my hand, you took me into the promise land. So girl, I promise I’ll be your man… I’ll be your man. Every time I go outside and I see the things outside. I always have to close my eyes to visualize what it feels like to be living in paradise. But when I read from you. And I look into your eyes through your picture, I never have to close my eyes to visualize what it feels like to be like to be living in paradise. This is no ordinary love. It’s an extraordinary feeling. Makes me wanna touch the ceiling. Make me feel like am flying. Make me want to be reveling. Cos I want you to be sure. That I’m not lying. There’s no denying. That I want you more and more. Every time that I’m around you, I hear gunshots no more. There’s peace all around me. You got me feeling like a don. So many things I wanna say to you. But I cannot find the words. Got me feeling like a king, got me feeling like an innocent. See, your love must be sound-proof, cos I don’t hear what the people say. I’m born-again, everyday. Take it from me. With you is where I’ll rather be. Hi! And these are some of the few things I wanna let you know. Swim the deepest sea and I’ll swim it with you. Baby believe I’ll never let you go. With you is where I’ll rather be. And when you took my hand, you took me into the promise land.
So I promise baby, I’ll be your man…

My love, I have tried with all my being to grasp a form comparable to thine own, but nothing seems worthy;
I know now why Shakespeare could not compare his love to a summer’s day. It would be a crime to denounce the beauty of such a creature as thee, to simply cast away the precision God had placed in forging you.
Each facet of your being whether it physical or spiritual is an ensnarement from which there is no release. But I do not wish release. I wish to stay entrapped forever. With you for all eternity. Our hearts, always as one.
To your question my profile was sign up by my sister and she live in uk is ex hubby is from united kingdom and she is a disable she is not working any more am from united state i have few months more here in Afghanistan and my mum and dad are late i dont want to talk about my parent try to understand me my sis name is Beth Rodenberger and she is with my son in state right now but she stay in united kingdom i hope i have answer all your questions hope to read from you soon

Jane, I came on here after a busy day to send you an e-mail after I have a shower ! And i got your message! Saying (NOT GIVING SENDING MONEY OVER SEAS to people as she thinks there is allot of SCAMS, 1Is this True about Daniel , 2 How long have u been on this Dating Site ? do you know what it brought me ? Tears....It hurt so much that someone i Love with all that i am presently don't even trust me!.. Last night you asked for many questions, I knew that was what you wanted to do!. But yet stıll I smile and told you everything! Why do you put friend into our relationship and why do you allow the thought of doubt in the relationship? Jane it so painful!.. Why did you? Why ?!..
Jane Honestly, I am DISAPPOINTED!why must it be you ? As i am writing this e-mail! Gods knows i am in tears! because the one person i love with all my life cant even trust me, Yesterday you kept asking questions after questions but i was answering them with Joy and Delights because i knew everything about me i needed to tell you and you need to know everything! and you make a friend to change your mind you allow a friend to rule our relationship and our son life you leave it for danger i cant believe that you are the one that comfort me in your last email that all will be okay i cant believe that you are the one asking another question that am i real and is Daniel sickness real what prove do you want and how can i show you how i care i can see that you don't want me to rule the relationship you prefer that your friend should rule it for you after putting all my life, love in you well i join the site four weeks ago and i have not been on it for some time since i register due to lost of a friend in camp here but i think i have to move on that when i met you and i have not be chatting with any lady and i am honest i told every body on the site that i have found the right woman and that is you Jane,and you promise you will do something about our son now you said you cant any more all i will say is why? Jane you are my angel my once in a life time.
If it was because of what i asked yesterday that's allowing all this to come up! Jane Please i beg you,Lets just forget i ask you and don't bother sending the money again...If you cant help me with our son health doesn't mean i would stop loving you !.The best thing that happened in my life was the day when we first met on here. You captured my heart.As time passed by, we became close, not just as friends but more than that.You brought back the light into my life when all I could see was darkness, you brought back the smile to my face when all I could do was frown, but most important, you brought back the love and trust that I had lost for people and you brought it back twice as much for me to give to you than I had previously given before.
God knows I would do anything to make you happy! And i have never sat down for a Second to doubt or think twice of anything you told me!
neither did i ever thought of doubting you ! Why ? Because i love you and i know you wouldn't lie to me!Why cant you do the same ?..Why did you do this to me, when you knew I would have done anything for you, when you knew that all my dreams, wishes and hopes surrounded you, when you knew that not having you in my life would instantly kill my heart? I'm all shattered and everything I see is blue. But I know I can't change your mind and more importantly, I can't change what you feel in your heart, so all I can ask you is, why Jane?
In Tears...

Someone has hacked facebook pages and is offering $75,000 and a free laptop to you from familysupport hotmail.com. You have to write to them and then you fill out a form with your passwords and then they ask you for $420 for delivery fee.
I received an email from an Online Dating Scammer who is trying to get money out of me, the name on the passport he sent - Matthew Cooper, and the name he uses - Keith Franklin do not match, he says it belongs to a friend of his, but I doubt it - and the address he gave is a hotel in London and they have never heard of him - I emailed them to ask if he was staying there.
He is using keithfranklin.mercer yahoo.co.uk as his email address. He said he was a New Zealander and was in London on business on Badoo and got me chatting with him on Yahoo Messenger then asked me for money and he keeps insisting I send it to him - I have kept saying no. He sent me his phone number, photo of someone's New Zealand passport and his address in London (which is a hotel), I have telephoned the number he gave me and he speaks with a foreign accent (definitely not a New Zealand one)
He asked me for $400 to buy his air ticket so he could come home to me - ha I've never met the guy and I sure as hell was not sending him any money. He told me he was transferred from NZ over to there by some guy to complete a project but in his Badoo profile he said he was taken to live in Holland by his parents when he was 15yrs old.
Please watch out for guys that insist they are in love with you after only a few messages, the messages are in disjointed or bad English, give you their email addresses (most of the sites are safe to chat on and it is easy to report the guys) and want you to go on messaging sites (both these things cos they say it is easier to chat and because they hardly use the site).
Hi. I have received a message on Facebook from a Barrister Fred Pari that I have inherited money from a person I don't even know, but he had the same surname as me. He claims the person also comes from South Africa, but lived in Togo and that I have to fill in these forms for the bank to claim my inheritance, but the forms asks questions like my hair and eye colour and my height. That is when I knew it was a scam, why would a bank ask questions like that? He also told me that he paid the money neccesary for the bank to release the money and that I only have to send my details and a copy of my ID and passport.

Scammer claimed to have Teacup Yorkshire Terrier Puppies available for sale, also to be a breeder in Nelson NZ, different websites had different places of where they were based.
Organises to sell a pup and and fly it to you the next day. Gives a price but doesn't ask for funds until just before the flights for the animal, then it's a rush to get the animal on the plane. Some story about Husband living in Cameroon Africa as a petrochemical engineer along with living there with 2 of the 4 kids they have. She is supposedly the wife with 2 of the kids as well living and breeding these dogs in Nelson NZ.
Money to be transferred via Western Union so that the daughter in Cameroon had money to party with for her birthday soon. So you pay the transfer and then she starts having trouble shipping the animal, says she'll call,she only did call after i emailed and went berserk, very bad reception, sounded french and not able to understand what was said then she hung up. Then emails saying that the reception was very poor at Nelson Airport where she trying to sort out the transport for the dog. Says she's working on a solution and will have the animal sent to the house instead of collecting from the airport so there's no further inconvenience on my part.
Animal never shows, you never hear back from the scammer. Money's gone. NO refund. I googled the email address of the scammer and she is still advertising all over the internet globally with all free classified advertisers, I contacted a several sites in Australia to alert them suggesting they take her off their site and one replied, they looked at my communications with her and they emailed her asking why there was non delivery of the dog, the scammer then replied to them stating that she's been on vacation and that the puppies are still available and that there has never been a case of non delivery. This was 2 days after my dog was to be delivered. They have removed her from their site.
The scammer never used any salutation or sign off, only name is from what comes through from the email address. Julie Giovinazzi and the money transfer name to Harry Tah.
Funds Lost to scammer $714NZD
Extremely elaborate web of lies even well after money has been transferred.
Thanks

This is when I contacted the Anti-Spam team.
He then has since sent a follow up email about their latest conversation on Skype:
We had a very interesting conversation last night. The money requested has now gone from 15000 USD up to 75000 USD. I managed to hold back my laugh and we talked on other things like how many kids we should have and other matters family when we eventually meet. hehehe. Enjoy the laugh.
Be careful when you are typing in a website address!
While I was trying to open world famous and trusted cartoon website: www southparkstudios com, I mistyped and missed the last 's' in the web address and typed: www southparkstudio.com... It instead open the page similar in appearance and background to actual site, and gave me an offer to complete a survey to win iPhone, iPad etc. Since the site was completely similar in appearance to the trusted website I have been using for years, I started filling survey but because it wanted so much confidential info I soon realized that the website address was wrong, and someone is using appearance and look of actual website to collect confidential information of people.
Essentially the email was a fraud to get me to either to pay some form of fee or even worse steal the car and not pay for it - story was unbelievable and trigger to search for the email address and found a listing which was word for word the same.
The scammer (Tony Singh) sought to buy Ferrari 360 Modena sports car I have for sale on trade me - pay via Paypal - I suggested he may like to visit New Zealand and I would get the local police to met him at the airport - surprisingly he hasn't taken up the offer.

Hi,
I must admit that I am very very much interested in purchasing this car from you. I am presently out of country due to work, I am in the Army who's currently in Afghanistan for the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) . Now what I propose to you is this; Due to the fact that I am so far away right now I will gladly transfer
you the amount via PayPal and pay the paypal fees as well, What I would then do is arrange for a private courier company to pick up the car from your address
once you have received the payment into your hands. The reason I chose paypal is that it is a reliable and secure way of making a payment online so works out
better for both parties.
So in order to enable me to proceed with the payment could you please provide me with the following information:
Your PayPal e-Mail Address :
Mobile Number :
Price is ok
Cheers.
We listed our car on Trade Me a month or so ago. I received a text message from this guy (Tony Singh) asking if it was still for sale and could I please email him. You can see from the responses that it is more than a little strange. I did a Google search and it seems like he has tried (and succeeded?) in getting money out of people in this way before.

When buying-selling operations via the Internet are concerned, the buyer and the seller don't know each other and are placed in different corners of the world. Therefore, it is important both to the buyer and the seller for their transaction to be made safely. Payment Protection means receiving money concerning the transaction by a reliable, experienced, impartial person - our Payment Protection Agent. He will hold all the money until all the terms of the deal are satisfied and only then release them to the intended receiver.
Having a Payment Protection Agent in every country we can quickly transfer funds inside a country without wasting time on the international bank transfers, and continue our rapid growth rather than overwhelming our own bank account with inbound and outbound transactions leading to severe hold times and possible service interruption. It is time that is of significant importance to our clients.
The main task of the Payment Protection Agent will be receiving money transactions to any bank account he would like to use for the purposes of this job; and then forwarding these transactions to the next party of the process according to our instructions. Payment Protection Agent will be processing approximately 1-2 transactions per week.
If you would like to find out more about the position and apply please reply to this e-mail and our hiring manager Samuel Bigwood will be in touch with you as soon as possible. Please note that due to a high response we are getting for our positions, it may not always be possible to personally reply back to you with feedback in the same day.

Sydney is filled with lots of visitor which makes it so difficult to get a space as hotel and hostels around cost too much....The level of crowd searching for an apartment has also made it so tedious to screen potential roommates so has to find the right one and also one with a positive energy...The location of the apartment attracts so many foreign visitors......In my previous email,i guessed i have told you all you need to hear about the apartment.
Stating the fact that you are not in Sydney presently, you can make reservation for this room and there would be a Tenancy document to that effect that you are the owner of the specified space....This involves the duties of my lawyer whom will prepare the Tenancy Agreement Contract between us...Everything we do will be backed and sealed by law so there would be no doubts
Let me know if you agree with the reservation idea and i will get back to you with details on the forms and process at which this will take place..i can attach a copy of my passport and certificate of ownership if you want to have a look
Cheers

hey Jean;
Ive been flatting for years and I know how hard it is to find decent people who you can trust. It has been hard to find accommodation so far as almost everyone on this website has been contacting me on the fact that they are outside Sydney at the moment but they are willing to post me the keys, which is very concerning so I will be needing to see some legal documents as well if that is okay.

As soon as the contract has been made ,i will send you a copy through email as a file which you will read carefully,print out and sign where required....As soon as you have signed the contract,then you will make an upfront payment of the first month rent and security deposit prior to your arrival which will be the financial commitment Afterwards,a receipt will be issued to you which you will bring along at your move in date for proof of identity and in the mean time before you get here,i will get everything sorted out at the council tax office which is most important..The upfront payment will facilitate that....

Thanks so much for the reply to my e-mail.I do not smoke neither do i drink.I am a young christian female,friendly, honest, and easy to get along with (I hope you are too). I am not a neat freak, but I like to keep the house tidy.My hobbies are Hiking and going to the cinema's. I enjoy watching and playing sport, amongst those being golf and football once in a while.I also enjoy socializing with friends and am fun to be with.
I planned coming over by 2nd week in March for my masters degree,but would prefer making payment prior my arrival directly to you to secure the place.
For rent $150 works perfect p/w but would only pay for two weeks now and then I'll balance up after my arrival. As regards payment a wire transfer into your bank account would work out perfect,Kiwi bank preferably.
Thanks and let me know what you feel.

Hello Dear,
How are you today? I would need you to do me a favor and I would appreciate if you can help me out on this. My Dad whom would be making payment is meant to send me $1200 for my travel ticket, but at the moment I do not have an account to receive the money and my Dad can only transfer money from his account because he is presently on a business trip in Korea.
I was wondering if i can have him transfer $1500 into your bank account while you deduct $300 out of the money for two weeks rent,and send the balance of $1200 (less transfer charges) to my travel agent via western union so I can have my flight ticket booked on time and when I arrive I would pay you the balance before moving in.
Also,kindly confirm the closest airport to you so i can know where to schedule my flight to and would be glad if you could pick me up at the airport when i arrive.I would really appreciate if you can help me on this.
Thanks and please let me know your opinion.

Hello,
Am originally from Stockholm,Sweden but was raised in London,UK.Iintend taking my masters degree at Mount hutt College and am studying full time.
I got the closest airport to you and am glad to hear that you can pick me up from the closest town center.As regards the balance I really don't mean to bug you but the basic reason I needed you to help out is because my Dad is very busy presently on a business trip and he's only willing to make payment from his ANZ account which I don't have one over here neither my travel agent has an account with ANZ so he made it clear to me that he will transfer the funds into your account while you deduct two weeks rent out of the money and have the balance sent via western union to my travel agent.
I understand your busy schedule,but would be glad if you could help out with this to enable my travel arrangement more easier for me.I would appreciate if you can log onto www westernunion com and see how you can send the balance online using your debit card instead of going all the way to the ATM machine outlet to withdraw funds and trying to locate a western union outlet.
My travel agent is not in NZ and regarding the transfer fee,there's a transfer charges for any money sent through western union so you are to deduct the transfer charges out of the balance and send the remaining balance left.
Thanks so much for your effort dear and am so sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused.

Ayo

Hello again Ayo.
Are you aware that Mount Hutt College is a high school (or secondary school) not a university?
As far as I know they don't run tertiary education.
Your Dad could easily purchase your airline ticket online for you and credit $300 to my account, if you still want the room. My new house is furnished except for the bedrooms for rent. Will you require a bed and bedding? If so that will be $200 per week and $400 bond. .

Hello,
How are you today ? Thanks for getting back to me. I am okay with everything you have said here about the apartment and i am sure it would be fun sharing . I Intend coming over not later than the 20th of this month and also would be willing to rent for 1yr but would prefer paying the rent on a monthly basis. I would pay you the first month rent prior to my arrival to enable you hold the room for me because I am sure you would have other people looking at the room and I would not want to loose out on this opportunity basically because it is my first time in New Zealand and I understand the difficulties in securing a place especially when I am miles away.Since am unable to come view the place prior to my move in i would appreciate it if i could pay to you.
I should probably tell you more about myself, My Full name is Debbie smith,I just completed my BSC in University of Manchester and would be coming over to New Zealand to register myself for a Masters program. My hobbies are watching soap operas,swimming, and i play the guitar wonderfully, also i paint during my leisure time i guess am a handful,I am also a very clean person that loves cleaning but not a neat freak, but I would make sure at all times the house is in a good shape.
As Regards the rent, I do not have a problem with it being fixed. I would also like you to know payment would be made by my Dad which would be through a direct deposit in your bank account. I hope you don't have a problem with this?
Thanks and Looking forward to hearing from you.

I was wondering if i can have him transfer $1000 into your account in two installments, sending the first installment to my travel agent through western union because there is a restriction on his account and he is only able to transfer $1000 at a time, so I could have my flight ticket booked on time and the second installment would be substituted for rent inorder to hold the room for me.

Hi Debbie.
That all sounds very complex.
A couple of questions for you.
Firstly; Are you asking me to receive funds from your Dad not only for rent and bond but also to then pay for your air ticket? Surely not.
Secondly; Where do you intend studying your Masters?
Thirdly; what transport plans do you have? Christchurch is over an hours drive from Methven. We don't have public transport on the same scale as the UK.
I look forward to hearing more from you.

So after the first email from Jean Boutier, I thought it is the genuine email, so I replied to him expressing my interest for his flat. Then the sender replied me back asked for my details, date to move in etc and what makes me so suspicious is that he want to deal everything online. I told him that my friend is already in Auckland so if he can give me his number, we can arrange to view the place first but he refused and give some excuse that he is now in London. So I Google his name and found out that he's an active scammer on few other website. Got few forums talking bout Jean Boutier scam activity in Australia, NZ and London.

Presently, I am in the UK, {London to be precise}, This is the reason I want to rent my apartment out The only option at hand now is, if we can both go through the normal proceedure.. we can still arrive at exactly what you wanted. You can move in even if i am not there to usher you in.
The processes are not much, you only need to sign a Lease document {which we can both do online}, then you need to have some documents to yourself as proof of assurance, then we proceed to the payment level and giving you a reference number {like a code} which you would take to the FEDEX head office, to get the keys, because without the reference number, nobody can get the keys except someone i give it to and i would be called to confirm first. Incase you want to be sure of how genuine the person is...this is the reason I would be willing to make available a scanned copy of my Passport and my Certificate of Occupancy, which I am not supposed to expose over the internet for security reasons.... but in this situation, we need to be sure of whom we are both dealing with.
I would need to prepare the Lease document with your {Full name, Present Contact address, and Phone number}. So, I would need you to give me the
information required for the form which I listed above.
I would be expecting to read from you very soon

Thanks for your reply.
We would class the motorhome as in excellent condition but the best way would be for you to have a look at it to satisfy yourself re the condition and to also see for yourself that the asking price is fair value considering the condition, the features and the current new build price.
We have another couple who want to buy it at the asking price but have a business to sell first.

I bought a bike last week for my son on trademe this same way and he says the bike is really lovely, so all i need is an assurance that this is a good vehicle. I will be arranging pick up with a shipping agent from your location, and they will be taking care of all the paper works and collection, so that won't be a problem for you. So therefore i will be making payments to you via PayPal or a NZ Bank deposit as your Ad says on trademe (SafeTrader) so get back to me with your PayPal email or Bank details so i can make payment arrangements and the pick up agent will come for the motorhomeafter payments is sorted, I want you to know that i will be responsible for PayPal charges/Trademe Safetrader Fee also.

Kindly send me a paypal payment invoice or create an account at www paypal com if you dont have one or your bank details for me to make payment. I will make a concrete pick up arrangement with my transport agent who will be coming over for pick up once you receive full payment into your PayPal account.

Hi Waatea,
I got your text re the truck, I am pretty flexible with times as currently on maternity leave, however I am going away this weekend so wont be available then. I could do tomorrow during the day or Thursday morning. The truck is at my parents so I can arrange for them to be around if you can only come in the evenings. The truck is in Whitford - South Auckland.

We are asking $4,000 for both truck and box, the truck body has rust on doors and rail bars, we were quoted 2,500-2,800 to replace the bars - this needs to be done to get COF. Horse box is in good condition.

Hi Mate, Thanks for the kind response. Having gone through the ad again and looked around, i see yours a good price. I feel sad I am not available to deal in person as I'm currently in camp as Military Sere Instructor for new recruits in PNG, but its nothing to worry about for I will be making arrangement with a private shipping agent that takes care of inspection and pick up. As a matter of fact, I'm buying this as a surprise gift for my Father. I'll make use of Paypal including any surcharges required to get full amount delivered to your account. hope you have one already, I would only need your Paypal email address and account name for transfer of funds. It's easy to create on their website "paypal.com" in case you don't own it already. Further arrangements (regarding pick up) will be made after transfer goes through.
Hope to read from you soon

After replying to an SMS text this week in response to an advertisement for my motorcycle on New Zealand web sites, these are the ensuing emails. Needless to say I have not parted with any money, nor has any been transferred to my account.

Hi,
Thanks for the prompt response.. I am ready to buy it now as a birthday gift for my brother in-law. I am at sea at the moment as I am a marine engineer and due to the nature of my work, phone call making and visiting of website are restricted but I just have to squeezed out time to check this advert and decided to contact you regarding it. I really want the bike to be a surprise package for brother in-law so I won't let him know anything about the bike until it gets delivered to him, I am sure he will be more than happy with the bike. I insisted on PayPal as my mode of payment because I don't have access to my bank account online and also, I don't have internet banking, but I can pay from my PayPal account. I have my bank account attached to my PayPal account, so I will need you to get back to me your PayPal email address and your final price so I can make the payments asap for the bike. Also, in your response, Please include your phone number again in case I misplace the one I have so I can send you a text as soon as the payment is sent via PayPal.
Nevertheless, if you don't have a PayPal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to www.paypal.com and get it set up, after you have set it up I will only need the e-mail address you used for the registration with PayPal so as to put the money through. I have a pick up agent that will come and pick the bike up after I have made the payments for the bike.

I will be sending funds now. Like I said before, I have someone (a shipping company to be precise) who will handle the pick up, I will be needing the exact location/address for the pick up in order to make arrangements with my shipping company for the bike pick up. I will be adding their charges to the total amount which I will be paying you, I'll also need you to help me transfer their charges to my shipper via Western Union once you get my payment confirmation.

According to paypal's instruction while i was transferring the funds, you'll have to transfer the extra amount through Western Union right away to the shipping company's HEADQUARTERS in Malaysia (where they confirm all Commission Payments so that they can be able to schedule a suitable Pick Up Date and Time immediately) and your funds will be released to your account immediately you verify the transfer with paypal by sending them the MTCN code which will be given to you at western union when you send funds upfront. Then shipper can come over for the pick up when funds are fully released.
I'll need your address where they have to come for the pick up. find below, the shipping agent info needed to pay the fees through Western Union money Transfer.

As for papers & date, all documentations will be prepared by the shipping agent when they get there. Pick Up time will be scheduled when they receive the payment from you, the soon they have the payment is the soon Pick Up would commence, you need to make yourself available then.
It's nice doing business with you. Kindly mail me back soon with your address so I can forward it to the shipper.

Subject: Shipment Insurance
Thanks for the email. I did get an email from paypal late today confirming that the shipment fee has been sent to shipper. I see it very obligatory to say a very big thank you for being there.
The money has been picked up by the shipping agent and surprisingly I did get another email from them this avo notifying me about the need to pay an insurance fee of $1,500 which is to be refunded upon delivery. According to their message, the insurance fee will be asked across the border and it will be refunded on delivery.
Sequel to this, I did contact paypal about it and was advised to make an additional payment and now been deducted from my account already. To compensate you for the extra transfer fee you incurred and the new one you want to send with your time, i have added an extra 200$ and sum up to 1,700$. Now you should receive 6,500$ in your account after they have verified the transfer of the Insurance fee 1,500$ being sent to the shipping agent.
Do let me know when paypal has confirmed the payment to you

Hi Waatea,
Can you please send me your phone number, your physical address and your Paypal account details.
Paypal are not releasing the as they said they would. They have no record of your account or the funds.
We received more information about an online trade scammer, this time going by the name of Grant Edwards:
I advertised my vehicle as classified on Trade Me and when I googled the original email I found some posts on their site as well as the one on the DIA site. The email "abolaso35 gmail.com" (with different numbers) has been reported on several scam discussion sites. Attached are all the correspondence I had with this person - including fake paypal emails instructing me to send money to an address in the UK. Presumably that person is acting as a funds transfer person and maybe needs to be contacted…
Haven't heard anything more from 'Grant' since my final email to him but I have received two more emails from 'Paypal'.

Hi,
I must admit that I am very very much interested in purchasing this car from you. I am presently out of NZ due to work, I am in the NZ Army who's currently in Afghanistan for the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) . Now what I propose to you is this; Due to the fact that I am so far away right now I will gladly transfer you the amount via PayPal and pay the transfer charges as well, What I would then also do is arrange for a private courier company to pick up from your address once you have received the payment into your Paypal account. The reason I choose paypal is that it is a reliable and secure way of making a payment online so works out better for both parties. So in order to enable me to proceed with the payment could you please provide me with the following information:
Your PayPal e-Mail Address :
Mobile Number :
Price is ok
Cheers.

Hello Grant,
I hope that you work with the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Afghanistan is going well - of course we hear a lot about it in the news media...
This email is linked to my paypal account. Paypal charges a fee of around 2.5% to me to receive payments, so please add $125 to the total.
You have my mobile number already from your original TEXT.
I will look forward to receiving your payment. You will need to ensure that the courier company contacts me before coming to take delivery after the payment has been received...
Kind regards

I just finished paying for the car, please check your e-mail for payment confirmation emails from paypal (check your Junk Folder if you cant find the mails in your inbox), I sent an additional 1,500 which is required for the freight charges, you'll have to help send the extra amount to the Shipping Company through Western Union because I cant send the money to the agent by myself as i'm offshore and i'd need to get into a post office to use western union. Here is the courier details which you're required to send the money to,

You should send the money ASAP and send the western union receipt to paypal as a reply to the message you received, Also you have to send your bank information to paypal alongside the western union details if your bank account is not registered with paypal already.

The people at PayPal!
Following is an experience another online trader had with Andrew Bond wanting to purchase the traders car:
Basically, I was selling my car on Trade Me at the price of $8500.00 NZD. Someone was very keen on it and wanted to use PayPal for a safe transaction. He requested that I send an invoice using the PayPal website. So I created an ID and sent an invoice to Andrew Bond [bonand102 gmail.com]. He then sent me an email saying he had sent $8500 and added extra $3950 to take care of the bills, so he sent PayPal $12,450.00 NZD (included the selling price $8500.00 NZD and an extra fee $3950 NZD). He also said that I needed to send the money ($3950 NZD) to Navinkumar Goppu via Western Union. Finally, I sent the $3950.00 NZD because I trusted PayPal. Having sent the money ($3950 NZD + the send charge 151.46 NZD) to him, I found out that something was wrong.
I noticed that all the emails pretended to be PayPal emails were not from PayPal. (He used email address [service intl.paypal.com ® inquirysection consultant.com]. I confirmed the email was not PayPal's after I contacted the actual PayPal company)
I know I shouldn't have sent him the money without 100% certainty.
I reported the New Zealand Police as soon as I realised, but they said that as the money's already gone to overseas, they can't do anything for us.
I don't want anyone else to fall for this scammer!
Another online trader has sent through her experience with scammer Andrew Bond threatening her with action from PayPal if she didn't do as he said:

Alright Mate,
I am very keen. How i wish i could come for viewing and inspection as am currently overseas at the moment and i want it picked up before I get back, though i will be back in couple of weeks. Due to my inability to make a bank deposit, I would be paying via PayPal which is safer for me. Kindly send me a paypal payment invoice or create an account at www paypal com if you dont have one. I will make a concrete pick up arrangement with my transport agent who will be coming over for pick up once you receive full payment into your PayPal account. Have a nice day. Few more photos will be appreciated as well and I am pleased with the price.

Hi Again,
This is just to get you informed that i have finished sending the payment through paypal and I know you should have received the confirmation messages from paypal by now so make sure you check your inbox and junk message folder for the confirmation email cos i have received the receipt here and the money has been completely removed from my paypal account. According to paypal's instructions, I have added extra $1350NZD to take care of the bills so mail me immediately you receive the confirmation.Thanks for the business.
Andrew
Date: Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 6:55 PM
To: Andrew Bond
ok i got 1 email from the payment, it says its pending, and i cant see it in my paypal account yet..it must take a while to go thru??? and also it has the extra $1350 what do i do with that??
From: Andrew Bond
Date: Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 7:03 PM
The money has not been released to your account yet.What paypal now wants you to do is to send the $1350 which was added to the funds to the shipper from your own pocket first via western union money transfer..The $1350 is the shipping agent's fee for the carriage..So after you have sent the money via western union,you now need to send the MTCN to paypal and also the sender's name..After they have verified that you really sent the money,then they will now credit your account immediately after they receive the information from you.. To locate a western union office,just go to the nearest post office and ask for a western union outlet and go along with a form of identity either a travelling passport or a driver's licence..So after you have given them the money($1350),they will now give you a 10digits number which is the MTCN which you will now email top paypal and they will credit your account after..Western union will charge you some fee for sending the money..Paypal says they will be responsible, so it will be credited to your account along with the money..The shipper's details to send the money to is :
Name: Navinkumar Goppu
Address: B-9-1 Aqua Jalil Condo,
City: Kuantan
State: KUALA LUMPUR,
Zip Code: 53000
Country: MALAYSIA.
So get back as soon as you have sent the money and we can conclude this transaction.
Date: Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 7:08 PM
To: Andrew Bond
Oh my god!!
I didnt know that all this had to happen...i dont have $1350 in my wallet... Im sorry i cant do that..
From: Andrew Bond
Date: Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 7:10 PM
First of all, I want you to know that the payment cannot be cancelled due to the fact that the money has been removed from my account and has been kept in escrow by paypal and according to the policy, you have to first send the shipper's fees through western union and mail the mtcn and transfer details to paypal for verification and immediately they confirmed that you have truly sent the money, then your account will be credited immediately. I want you to find all means of getting the money either you borrow from friends or relations because your account will be credited by paypal within few hours after they receive the mtcn from you and then you can be able to return every money from wherever you borrow. I am also a Father and a man of Integrity and i cannot and will never lead you astray because i have over 25 people working under me and i am very honest to them. I want you to know that paypal will not hesitate to take legal actions against you if you do not send out the money as they requested and the consequences of there legal actions is always bad so i dont want this kind of thing to happen to you. Make sure you try and send out the money asap and keep me informed on the progress.
Cheers
Date: Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 7:19 PM
To: Andrew Bond
Well i am sorry, but you were not honest enough to tell me that i had to pay $1350 out of my own pocket first. when i don’t have that money. well i got no money from paypal and i haven’t stolen any thing from paypal , i have not gotten any money. so take me to court. and i have cancelled my paypal account and it said all my transactions have been cancelled. so i have not got any warnings about anything from paypal.
goodbye.
From: Andrew Bond
Date: Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 9:34 PM
It wasn't my fault.I followed paypal"s instruction as the payment company..They will start legal action soon If you fail to comply
Date: Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 6:59 AM
To: Andrew Bond
well paypal didnt give me any instructions. to pay 1350 so im not going to do what you want. i will go to the police if you try ask me for money again. As i do believe this is a scam.

An online trader contacted us about her experience with scammer David Knight who wanted to purchase her car:
We had a car for sale on trade me. My partner received a text msg asking for us to email David Knight regarding the sale of the car. I replied back with the sale price and the email address for Paypal, then we received the email below and further emails were sent backwards and forwards - He said in an email that he had transferred over $3700.00 when we said the sale price was for $3000.00 he said that $700 extra was for us to go to western union and transfer the money over to Malaysia for his agent to organize for the pick up of the car..

Thanks for the mail..I want to buy it now as a Present for my Dad and i am at sea at the moment as i am a marine engineer and due to the nature of my work, phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email regarding vehicle. I really want the vehicle to be a surprise for my father so i wont let him know anything about the vehicle until it gets delivered to him, i am sure he will be more than happy with the vehicle. I insisted on paypal because i don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have internet banking, but i can pay from my paypal account, as i have my bank a/c attached to it, and i will need you to give me your paypal email address and the price so i can make the payments asap for the vehicle and pls if you don't have paypal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to www paypal com and get it set up, after you have set it up i will only need the email address you use for registration with paypal so as to put the money through. I have a pick up agent that will come and pick the vehicle up after i have made the payments...
Another vehicle trade with the same kind of email requesting they use Paypal as previously seen in the Dennis Mower and other online trade scams. Remember, Paypal is a perfectly acceptable place to do online trading, just these scammers use the same wording when the trade is reaching the pay point which one wouldn't expect from apparent individuals.

I insisted on paypal because i don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have internet banking and i can't go to the bank due to the nature of my job, but i can pay from my paypal account, as i have my bank a/c attached to it, pls if you don't have paypal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to wwwpaypalcom and get it set up , after you have set it up i will only need the e-mail address and the account name you use for registration with paypal so as to put the money through, and paypal has also upgraded their security systems, its now safer and easier to use.
As for the issue of my details,transferring the name of ownership and signing of all paperwork will be done by the pick up agent after you have the payment from paypal. so you don't have to worry about that. Go ahead and send me your paypal email address and the account name to remit the funds asap, then, the transport agent shall come for the pick up at your address after you received the payment.

We were contacted by someone who had listed their profile with an online employment company and he was contacted by a scammer who used contact information for a legitimate company, offering him employment in the New Zealand branch of the company.
It all looked legitimate until the 'activity description' pdf was read.

You would never have to send money via Western Union or Money Gram to a company you were employed by. Western Union and Money Gram are themselves legitimate companies and provide a great service, however you would not use them for sending money back and forth between businesses.
What follows is a brief recap of another persons experience with scammer ‘Dennis Mower’
Hi,
I must admit that I am very very much interested in purchasing this car from you. I am presently out of NZ due to work, I am in the NZ Army who's currently in Afghanistan for the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) . Now what I propose to you is this; Due to the fact that I am so far away right now I will gladly transfer you the amount via PayPal and pay the transfer charges as well, What I would then also do is arrange for a private courier company to pick up from your address once you have received the payment into your Paypal account. The reason I choose paypal is that it is a reliable and secure way of making a payment online so works out better for both parties.
So in order to enable me to proceed with the payment could you please provide me with the following information:
Your PayPal e-Mail Address :
Mobile Number :
Price :
Cheers.,
and also from him
i cant pay with bank as i had disable my online banking when i left the country, so if youre interested in the sale kindly register for paypal at wwwpaypalcom and once i send the money to your account you can withdraw it to your bank account
When he said to me he wanted to pay for the vehicle via Pay Pal I felt this isn't right, something seems wrong, but I asked my bank and they told me pay Pal was a secure way of reciveing money so I registerd with Pay pal, and this was his next email to me
I just finished paying for the car, please check your e-mail for payment confirmation emails from paypal (check your Junk Folder if you cant find the mails in your inbox), I sent an additional 1,500 which is required for the freight charges, you'll have to help send the extra amount to the Shipping Company through Western Union because i cant send the money to the agent by myself as i'm offshore and i'd need to get into a post office to use western union.
Here is the courier details which you're required to send the money to,
Ryan Dungey
11 Bree Hill
Chelmsford
Essex
CM3 7AD
United Kingdom
You should send the money ASAP and send the western union receipt to paypal as a reply to the message you received, Also you have to send your bank information to paypal alongside the western union details if your bank account is not registered with paypal already.
It's Nice Doing Business With You.
Get back to me soon with your address
and I got an email from Pay Pal saying the money was there for me to claim, which i did, and I waited, then I emailed him to see what was happening, this was my email to him
Hi Dennis,
just to update you with what's happening my end, I'm waiting forPay Pal to release to $4800.00 into my account, then I can go to Western Union and send to the person you have requested me to, and then the courier can come and pick-up the RVR
Cheers
and this was his reply
As per the PayPal email. You are required to pay the 1,500 NZD to the shipping agent through western union from your own pocket and then send the deposit Receipt to PayPal for verification. Once they receive the Payment Receipt from you, The whole amount would be released into your account. So you should go ahead with sending the payment and then send the Payment Receipt to PayPal for verification,So that you can get your money and we can finalize this transaction... Respond to me soon
and this was my reply back to him
Hi,
Oh, very quick reply, but i'm not willing to pay that until the money is released to me, I will send the money once you pay me, no other way
Cheers
Apart from him totally wasting my time I haven't been taken for a cent and never let my vehicle go until he paid me, thought you may like to know what happened to me.

The following messages were received after listing a room for rent online.
Hello,
I saw your posting on Trademe concerning the room for rent, and I would appreciate it if i can rent the room from you.
I am originally from Manchester in the UK and a 26 year old female. Let me know the bills/rent per month and also would be great to know your preferred method of payment. Its an addition if i get pictures of the room so I can know what it looks like, and also would you be kind enough to tell me some details about your self. I will await for your response later today .
Hope to hear from you soon.
Debbie.
Hello,
How are you today ? Thanks for getting back to me. I am okay with everything you have said here about the apartment and i am sure it would be fun sharing . I Intend coming over not later than the 30th of January and also would be willing to rent for 1yr but would prefer paying the rent on a monthly basis. I would pay you the first month rent prior to my arrival to enable you hold the room for me because I am sure you would have other people looking at the room and I would not want to loose out on this opportunity basically because it is my first time in New Zealand and I understand the difficulties in securing a place especially when I am miles away.Since am unable to come view the place prior to my move in i would appreciate it if i could pay to you .I have also attached a photo of myself so you know what i look like.
I should probably tell you more about myself, My Full name is Debbie smith,I just completed my BSC in University of Manchester and would be
coming over to New Zealand to register myself for a Masters program. My hobbies are watching soap operas,swimming, and i play the guitar
wonderfully, also i paint during my leisure time i guess am a handful,I am also a very clean person that loves cleaning but not a neat freak, but I would make sure at all times the house is in a good shape.
As Regards the rent, I do not have a problem with it being fixed. I would also like you to know payment would be made by my Dad which
would be through a direct deposit in your bank account. I hope you don't have a problem with this?
Thanks and Looking forward to hearing from you.
Debbie

After i have made the payments and it has been confirmed by paypal, i will need you to help me send the $600 to my pick up agent through western union money transfer, the western union money transfer can be made at a post office near to you,there is always a western union agent in most post offices or online at www westernunion com .I will be making the payments shortly and will email you as soon as it has been done..

Thanks for the mail as per message i received from paypal which should be similar to yours, you need to make an upfront payment of $600 to the shipping agent using western union (can be found at your local post office) to the shipping agent's address:
Name: Navin Kumar Goppu
Address: 12,Tmn Bukit Seputih,
City: Kuala Lumpur,

Thus, after the money is sent. you will be given a receipt on the receipt, which will show a MTCN code and other details that you should be sent to PayPal and a total of $4,000 will be released immediately without any delay. please let me know when you have completed this. cheers!

Sorry mate, but I am not making an upfront payment without the money being released to me first, I was prepared to give you the chance first but everything points to a scam and I am not taking that chance. If you can’t make the payment to me first then I am not prepare to go through with this, you can cancel the Paypal trasaction as I will not be completing the sale.

I do understand what you mean but this is a safe transaction i have just contact paypal when i got the notification letter from them that the buyer will never believe the transaction is safe but this is what i was told below that the funds can not be refunded to the buyer's account through the PayPal system as the buyer's account has been placed under limited access by our trust and safety department because the buyer made attempt in claiming the funds back to his account without any legal notification for security purpose.
Therefore i guess you should understand that i can not access my account at the moment untill the transaction is complete so i think the best way is that you should please go ahead and make the transfer for the money and get back to paypal with the western union details for you to have your money fully credited into your account asap

From: perkjulian gmail.com
Thanks for the prompt reply,I will like to know the lowest price for it,i want you to get back to me with more picture and the present condition of it because i could not come over to inspect it, i am buying it locally here as a birthday gift for my Son that is living in Malaysia. I am at sea at the moment as i am an Oceanographer ( i work on South Pacific Ocean in east of New Zealand ) and due to the nature of my work, phone calls is restricted. It was my son that check your advert and sent you a text to contact me (his mother )
on my email address because i am currently offshore .
I am really sure he will be more than happy if i am able to purchase it from you becuase this is what he want and chose from the Advert. You need not worry yourself about how it will get to him there in Malaysia as i have a contact of shipping company there that will be handling the pick up and all the paper work.
TO : perkjulian gmail.com
Hi my lowest price is $10500 .The car is in good condition very clean . I'll take some photos for you . The only reason I'm selling is that the car is too big for me as it has 7 seats and I often do not travel that far by myself I only use it on weekends . I clean it every week , and service it every half a year or every 5000km which ever is close , It has been in a family for , 4 years now and did 26000km . I dont mind the shipping as long as someone will come and pick it up here.
FROM: perkjulian gmail.com
I am really interested in buying it and i want to go ahead with the purchase,i am pleased with the price but i can only conclude the transaction through PayPal for our own protection, PayPal act as a neutral third party. it is safe,secure and reliable.
I insisted on PayPal mode of payment because i don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have internet banking but i can pay from my PayPal account as i have my bank a/c attached to it and also due to the fact that i am currently offshore and I won't definitely be able to make it to my bank to wires money across to you.It is what safe and convenient for me. PayPal is the fastest, secure, easier and the best online transfer or receiving of money into someone's account,you register with PayPal account with
your bank details or credit card,it is very easy to set up,the registration will take only 5 minutes,so any transfer you made with your PayPal goes through to your bank account,it is free,safe and reliable.
After you have registered for PayPal account,all i need is just the full name with the email address of the PayPal account to transfer the fund into your bank account that you link up with your PayPal account,it is just as simple as that.

I have just made the payment now and i expect paypal to have emailed you by now,check your email address if you have been messaged yet, i sent $2,500 in all, i have decided to add the amount of $1600 which i paid through paypal, So you can now wire the
sum of $1500 to my agent's Headquarters in UK via western union where they confirm all commission payment so that they can be able to schedule a suitable pick up date and time immediately.
As said earlier in my previous email,the western union transfer can be done at the post office as their is a western union section in all post office.I added extra $100 to cover the western union charges which shouldn't be more that $60-75 but just to be sure i added
$100.
Here is my pick up agent Headquarter info needed to get the money sent through western union money transfer:
Fred Bidem

Dagenham Essex

Note:PayPal won't release the funds until they get the western union information from you due to the fact that i emailed them about the excess payment I made.Please kindly email the necessary details to paypal :the mtcn which you will be given at the western union after the $1500 has been sent as well as the sender's name and address used to send the money through western union so they can take necessary steps.Await your response.

Note: A man with the user name Prayer 1, who states he is on a prayer mission in Africa, is advertising Auckland apartments for rent on various internet flat hunting sites. He advises applicants to contact his wife ‘Kate’ in the UK who sends pictures of the apartment and requests the applicant fills in a rental agreement form.
Once the form is completed the applicant is told to send $1700 USD via a Western Union account and she will send the DHL package with papers and keys. In this case, the applicant paid the money and did not receive the package. Kate then sent a request for another $600 USD to send to her husband in Africa. The applicant refused and Kate became angry demanding account information from her. There has been no communication since but the applicant has lost $1700 USD.
Below is a description of the apartments. There are a number of apartments listed in Auckland to owners who are all outside of New Zealand and all the apartments have the same description.
