| Anonymous Somewhere in Australia 2014-10-03 08:29:38 Classified Ads Scam Other Classifieds Site | +1 paypal Robert claimed to work as a tool pusher for west aquarius semi submersible and couldnt personally view but once payment for the caravan went through he would send someone to pick it up only his courier required a 1550 fee which he couldnt pay due to not working near a post office. He said he would add the fee to the total and transfer via pay pal only catch pay pal wont release the money until the 1550 is paid to courier. Money had to be transferred via a west union money transfer. Called pay pal they dont deal with western money transfers and told us its a scam and to put it on a scam watch site to alert others. From what ive read here this guy is isuing different names but the same story. |

"Almost?"
I had a PC for sale and Robert C. McKenzie emailed me and seemed interested. I became suspicious with his eagerness as he didn't take much of my information about the PC technicalities too seriously. Googling his email addy I found the same email cited on Scamdex with associated name Robert. To see what he would do next I said I would use my courier but he rejected this. I requested payment by bank cheque and he only did Paypal or Bank wire transfer?
Scam EmailEmails from Robert C. McKenzie:
Great reading from you. I would have loved to come for inspection personally and pay cash but, due to nature of my job i will not be able to come for inspection,am a very busy type as i work long hours everyday on a remote island for the next few Months, But i have gone through your advertisement and i am happy to complete the sales with you..:
To start with,I have a private courier that will come for the pick up after the payment have been made. Please send me your address so that my pick up agent can figure it out and come for the pick up and other necessary things after the payment have been made.
As for the payment, i will be paying you via the fastest and secure way to pay online(PayPal). You can get the setup registration www.paypal.com.au And i will only need your PayPal email address and name to proceed with the payment... You can alternatively send your bsb and acct number if you have no PayPal account.
Thanks !!

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.
