Why would the buyer have a third party involved? Why not just give the agent cash and be done with it. I was trying to figure out how you would scam on Paypal, my wife figures that the con men use a stolen credit card number until it gets found out. By the time you get told that it was a stolen number, your stuff is gone.

with paypal it goes into your account but you cannot access for at least thirty days ... they make a complaint you dont get your money and your out the item you were selling

pay pal always protects the buyer so if the buyer reports bad about the seller the seller is screwed

yeah, sorry matt...lol. bacardi's or you a fan of the captain?
hey grubby, by the looks of the "for sale" ads these little bikes hold their value pretty good. that, or peeps are asking too much for them....? some of the ads are asking more than I paid for it 10+ years ago ($650). the seat on ours is in rough shape, I'm going to get it recovered. I also replaced the little rotating on/off knob with a "push to kill" switch after the kids broke the knob off. mechanically it is excellent, runs and drives perfect. you're gonna have to pm me an offer, we'll go from there.

Brad was almost scammed by the paypal/ western union one...Western Union told him not to follow through as it was a scam....lol
My friend got a very similar response, after searching the web it seems the link to Paypal in the email is fake and thats how they get your password. There are tons of the same scam with subtle differences all over the internet.

I have alot of friends an family that phone me for advise as they posted an add on kijiji and get the same response. These scams happen to many people on a daily basis and I'm sure alot of people are bitten by them and left out of pocket. The people that call me are somewhat surprised when I tell them the scam. As said stick with local people and cash, buyer beware.

If he really is in dubai, I hear they really crack down on homosexuals. With any luck, this email ties to him and you take a scam artist out of the gene pool.
