Bike Scam

You need to change your screen name to Just D after this.
If he asks for your account info, give him:
Bank Name BANK OF AMERICA N.A.
Routing Number 011 500 337
Account Number 3825 968 7226637 (Fuck you Scammer)

at least give them a real B of A routing number 026009593. And B of A account numbers are 11 digits long....c'mon now, dont lease up!

E-mail from Robert:

The transaction was started a couple of minutes ago. You should receive an e-mail confirmation with the payment instructions. As soon as I get the signal from trader publishing I will e-mail you the tracking number of the shipment.

Regards,
Robert

Yay, you're getting a new bike :twofinger

Wouldn't that be some shit if I got my old bike back. In the same condition :mad

Crap though. I'm stuck about the moneygram issue. I don't think it can get any further than this without me (or someone) actually processing and completing a moneygram.

Maybe I should contact loyal Robert and ask if I can directly send him the cash overseas?

I was thinking printing this out in color and directly sending it to him along with the message:

"Trust me, its $4800. I counted it. Twice"

Or my friend suggested:

"Its $4800. I made it single $1 bills so you can make it rain on them hoes"

To yank his chain, ask him if he could contact Trader Publishing because you have some questions regarding the contract, maybe say english is not your first language or something.
 
Or contact Cycletrader and let them know of what the fucker is doing.

I thought of this and sent it:

Robert,

Got the e-mail from the Trader Company. I'm curious why I need to go this route when I'd feel more at ease DIRECTLY sending you the money. Rest assured, I am good for my word and I will give you my full bank details. I have sent money overseas many times before for business related purposes and have had zero problems. I usually have sent this through a personal check. That way, if you do encounter any problems, you will know exactly where to contact me since it enlists my home address and contact number. If you are uneasy about that, I can send the $4800 (which is readily available) in cash to your address.

My company has dealt with 3rd party companies in the past before and we gone through various complications with that method. That is also another reason why I would rather engage in 1-on-1 business with you.

Also, as a second option, I do have business contacts around where you live, so I could always pursue them to hand you the cash in person if that sounds better for you. Again, I am ready to pay out for the bike but I would rather leave out the 3rd party and do business directly with you. I hope you can understand.

D

ASk for the VIN!!!
Click to expand...
If you want the lulz to stop, yes get the VIN. I had a 'Air-force' scammer in 'London' try to sell me a car that he could ship with 'Air-force mail' 'for free' but once I finally asked for the VIN I didn't hear another word from him.

He tried to get me to go through 'ebay certified transaction' or some shit. I was like, :wtf uh, if it's on ebay how do I know I'll be the winner? Also, there is no fucking mention of this 'service' on their website, please send me a direct link.
 
damn, i wish i would have seen this earlier. i would have loved to give my "fake" address. xP

you should see if you can pick up some fake checks somewhere. During a summer program one year a teacher gave fake checks to the students to teach them how to fill them out correctly and use a ledger and all that. Someone gave me one for a couple hundred bucks for "my services" :D

wheres the popcorn?

So he believed my last e-mail and I'm able to bypass the third party company.

Please, refer to me only as "D" from now on :laughing

Hello again D,

I agree to abort trader services for this sale if you feel much comfortable sending the money directly to me. I've made several transactions in the past when living in states through trader publishing and I was always satisfied of their services. I used an escrow service to sell the bike at the beginning and I didn't solve anything. The ex"buyer" had to have a problem with money when the bike was on transit. Therefore I wanted to do the transaction through trader publishing. I'm sorry for all this mess believe me I'm just waiting this to be over. I have a little and hand the bike for free. I am paying a daily tax to keep the bike in an escrow store. I'm sure you will love the bike so if you please can go on with sending money tomorrow(directly to me or to trader publishing representative) it will be perfect. Hope you understand. Here are my details:
Name: Robert Brown
Address: 14 Mount St, London, W1K2RF, United Kingdom

As soon as you take care of payment I will take care of my part of deal, shipping the bike to your location more exactly. The bike will be delivered using 2nd Day Air Freight service and will be delivered very fast to your address in California. Please send the money($4800) using moneygram service because my account is currently blocked for 30 days for buyer protection. No personal checks.

Waiting to hear some good news from you.

Regards,
Robert

So fellow BARFers, what should we kindly send Mr. Robert?

For moneygram orders, I could just simply walk into a 7-11 and ask to get one... say for $4 :rolleyes ... but would I need to provide ID/etc?

Lets keep him on his toes for a while :twofinger

Thank you very much for kindly understanding the situation. I will send you the $4800 using the moneygram service later today once I get out of work and I will contact you as soon as I mail it out to your address in the UK. It looks like we are closing this deal a lot faster than I thought. You will be hearing from me very soon.
