Thank You. |  |  | | 01-25-2006, 11:46 AM | #17 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 |
My advice is to drop it. It's an obvious scam (at least to me). Get ripped off if you want, but the 419 scam has been around since the late '80s. I've experienced this crap when trying to sell bikes.
If you still feel like you're getting a deal, go ahead. Just don't say we didn't warn you.
Also, FYI this is a good entry-point for identity theft. I have professors that report to Congress regarding information security and they say this is part of the problem. __________________

Lol i aint going to buy it, you swear. This guy lives like 300 miles away. I wouldnt trust buying a car from a distance without having my dad take a look at it. Plus i would have to sell my car to get it. I aint ready for that yet.

Doing a google search your find mixed reviews. But when I search alertpay scam, I come up with these. And this is the 419 scam. __________________ ...steven

OMG - I can't believe you are serious about this. DROP IT!! It's a scam. I can't believe you even emailed the guy, now he has your email address. Come on dude, use some common sense here. If it's too good to be true it is. This is based on the same theory that info-mercials use....THERE'S A SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE! Of course it's too good to be true, but someone out there will fall for it....
I won't give this guy any more of your information. He already has your email address. Do you realize how much information a person can get about you with just your email address? __________________

If he really wants to find out about me, he can go ahead, theres probably more than just me looking at the car, so i doubt hell go into detail trying to find out where i live, he lives 300 miles away anywayz. | | | | | 01-25-2006, 02:19 PM | #25 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 |
