Thanks for the reply and so sorry that i couldn\'t call you due to the nature of my work,I work with AWE New Zealand Pty Ltd and we are presently on rig at the moment,on the west aquarius submersible to be precise.I would have loved to call you directly but due to the nature of my work we do not have access to phone at the moment,its 20days off and 10days on,which is why I contacted you with internet messaging facility and where is it located at the moment.
I am buying this for my first son who just graduated ontop of his class at Charles Darwin University in NT ,He studied Building Design & Architecture. I want it to be the perfect graduation gift and a surprise package for him ,Does it have any history I should be aware of? and why are you selling if you don\'t mind my asking.I am already in talks with freighters that will handle the pickup and delivery to my son.I will really appreciate if you can email more info.
As regards the payment, I can pay you through direct bank deposit,using paypal 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 and I will make the payment through paypal, this way, all I will need is your paypal email address.

Trying to get my paypal account or bank account details when I was selling a bike on GUMTREE AU. Text in correspondence matches current report
Scam EmailI posted a motorbike for sale.
Within 1/2 hr got a text on my phone, but with no return SMS - odd, but there was an email address in the text: mattgramha@hotmail.com
I emailed indicating that the bike was still available and got the full text identical to the current report and detailed in \"Email Scam Source\" below.
I queried the bike suitability and still the \"buyer\" was in a hurry to deposit funds asap. Then I did a quick Google and found this report.

I suspect that unless your son is very short then he would be too=0A=
big for this bike. I am 5\'11 and while I don\'t ride it (obviously) I=0A=
can\'t change gears comfortably - though=2C it is fun to zip around on=
=0A=
it.
=0A=

=0A=
The seat height is 28\".=20
=0A=

=0A=
It is up to you.
=0A=

=0A=
I bought the bike off a farm about a year ago and from what I=0A=
gathered it was used by the son then the daughter to round up sheep.=0A=
It doesn\'t look thrashed.
=0A=

=0A=
The only reason I am selling it is that my son is too big for it=0A=

bikes=2C but without the risk of putting himself in a tree with a YZ.=
=0A=
I would keep it if my daughter was interested but she isn\'t.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
Consider switching off your AdBlocker (if you use one) or contributing directly by one of the links below. Thank you for reading!
