received a text message with a request to email the final price!? Email as follows:-
Thanks a lot for the email. I am away at sea at the moment,i work with New Zealand Oil and Gas (NZOG) and we are presently offshore in New Zealand Taranaki Basin on kapo project. We do not have access to phone at the moment,its 5days off and 25days on,which is why I contacted you with internet messaging facility. Where is it located at the moment?
I am buying it for my new apartment and i want it delivered before my arrival.I won't be able to come for the inspection due to the nature of my work and i would have called but our calling is restricted. Regarding the payment,pls get back to me with your final asking price and your paypal details so i can process the payment,you can alternatively send your bsb and acct number if you have no paypal acct.I have also contacted my courier who will come for pick up after the whole fund has been cleared into your acct.
Await your reply.
another email from Lindsay after saying payment was made:
I have just made the payments now and i expect PayPal to have emailed by now if not you can check your email (i removed my email) spam or junk folder for the confirmation, i sent $1,800 in all, and i added $1,100 meant for pick up and delivery and the worldremit money transfer fee also and the insurance, so you will need to send $1,050 to the pick up agent Headquarters via worldremit money transfer, PayPal said they have emailed you to this effect, i added extra $50 to cover the worldremit money transfer charges which shouldn't be more than $50, so $1,800 will be credit to your account. Here is the pick up agent info needed to get the money sent through worldremit money transfer:
PS: If you didn't receive the payment receipt in your email? kindly check your email Spam/Junk folder because that was where i found my receipt.
Receiver's first Name: Mateo
Receiver's Surname : Duijinisveld
71a Col Guido St,
Manila,
Manila, 1006.

I. will need the details of the transfer once you have sent fund . . .
2. Sender's name and address used in sending the money

I was selling a TV unit on Gumtree for $850. Was asked to move to email as the person's inbox was 'full'. Then received this below email as per other reports. Provided a response saying I wouldn't provide address until payment was cleared (unfortunately provided bank details), but then felt it was wrong & googled NZOG to see that they have listed a message warning of this scam too. Haven't heard anything back. Reported to Gumtree & they have blocked Aniya's account.

Hi there, Thank you for getting back to me. Can you assure me that it's in good state and that i will not be disappointed with it??. I wanted to buy this for my son in Fiji, but the issue is I am away at sea at the moment, i work with New Zealand Oil and Gas (NZOG) and we are presently offshore in New Zealand Taranaki Basin on kapo project. The contract is strictly no call due to the lack of reception on the sea area. But I'm able to access email anytime as we will make use of laptop so my only quickest payment option is PayPal as i can send money via PayPal anytime.Since I'm requesting this transaction to be done via PayPal, i will be responsible for all the paypal fee/charges on this transaction and if you don't have an account with paypal, its pretty easy, safe and secured to open one. Just log on to www.paypal.com. I hope we can make the purchase as fast as possible? I have a mover that will come for it once payment clears and they will get it to my son's location safely.
If my mode of payment is accepted kindly email me with the information below to proceed with the payment.
1) More pictures
2) What is the condition?
3) Are you the Original Owner?
4) Your final asking price ?
5) Your PayPal Email Address
6) Your Picked Up Location Address
Get back to me with your address so i can forward to the shipping company to schedule an appointment with you for pick up. I have a private pick up agent that will come for the pick up after payments has been made. So i look forward to hear from you soon

I had 2 motorbikes for sale and contacted by bobbi?, asking if I can have them delivered as he's working for New Zealand oil and gas, he asked for my bank info. He did not ask to see them so I googled the company (Nzog) to find the full email was a script they use as a start of a scam, lucky New Zealand oil and gas "nzog"are aware and post this info on their main page. I was not scammed but it was the start so I was lucky I found this first.. It's what's known as the purchase scam, my items were listed as a classified ad on 'gumtree' u.k., I was suspicious anyway as they said they were local but English and grammar were poor, they sent sms text first but then said they didn't have a phone (but stil text first) so I emailed them with address provided but I wonder why they always use the same company when Nzog are aware of it? I would never have sent them money anyway for something I was selling but it was interesting to see how they reel you in, I might play along and see how they do it and come back in a couple days with the script, is there anyway I could get them to identify themselves as they don't know I'm on to them yet??

Thanks for the payment details and am happy to proceed with the payment, however i just got a confirmation mail from the shipping company now that i will need to pay for the freighting fees before they can schedule pre-shipping/ pickup date,they charged $1,350 for the pick up and delivery, but the problem is they only accept western union money transfer as form of payment which is sent to their HQ in the USA.
As you are well aware of, due to the nature of my work am away and do not have access to western union, most post offices or post shop have western union section, will it be ok with you if I add the $1,350 to the amount I am transferring? and as soon as the money goes through you can help me make the western union transfer of the freighting fees through western union money transfer? You are not obliged to help me, but i will indeed appreciate your help as I am a little incapacitated here.

I have received the inquiry email for the car I advertised in Trademe on 21st April 2017. Same story, buying a car for son in Fiji, really keen to buy the car even though I assured him he needs to view the car first. Then, when he was just about to make payment at Paypal, his agent requested him to make the payment first etc....
I called off the deal.

A message was sent to me via a reputable classifieds website, requesting contact via email if item 'was still for sale'. Got suspicious when received the following reply;

Scam EmailI was not scammed, I remembered reading to be wary of contact by SMS on the carsguide website and so went to the NZOG website with the intention of confirming scammers story. That is where I found a further warning and a link to this site where I found the name of the person who had contacted me already reported. Thank you you are doing a great service to the internet community.

Received same email in response to an ad for my car on Gumtree (after I got the text to email him). I thought it was strange that someone would want to buy a cheap shitty car that needs work when they work on the rigs and then he said he would have it couriered to VIC - that's when I knew 100% it was a scam although I really did know all along!
