Amazon fun & frolics (for FST)

[Barbarossa]

I bought something once. The guy wanted me to pay via electronic money transfer. I scanned in a photo of some notes and coins, and emailed it to him.

The goods never arrived.

This internet shopping thing sucks

Nigeria is full of scammers!

That really is rather harsh

it's true.

I think it would be fairer to say that a lot of scammers seem to come from Nigeria. However, I doubt that the majority of their country is in on it.

That Nigeria is a den of scamming, what makes you say this.

My reply to "Amazon"

Hello

I have taken the item off Amazon ready to send off to Ben Jack.
Unfortunately I do not have the money to send for postage. The last
time this happened you were able to send me the money to cover the
postage expense.

Please can you advise me on what I should do to get the postage
upfront. I estimate that postage will cost $8.

Thanks in advance.

David.

His reply:

Dear Dave Cheese, Thanks for your mail,you can make the postage with your money, we will deduct it from Ben Jack's credit card as soon as you have made the shippment today. Regards Manager.

My reply:

Hello

I need just enough money to post the item Ben Jack has ordered as I
have no way of paying postage myself. If this is not possible I will
have to list my item elsewhere.

David.

His reply:

Dear Dave Cheese, We can't understand you, We said your money is deposited with us, even with shippment fee, so you can go and ship the item, and once this is done we will transfer your money as soon as possible into your account. We hope you can understand us better now. Regards Manager.

My reply:

It is good that you have the money but I need a little bit of it sent
to me now because I can not afford to post it else.

Thanks in advance.

David.

Then he sent me a repeat email :

Dear Dave Cheese, We can't understand you, We said your money is deposited with us, even with shippment fee, so you can go and ship the item, and once this is done we will transfer your money as soon as possible into your account. We hope you can understand us better now. Regards Manager.

Me:

I'm afraid it is you who does not understand. I am asking you to post
me the money for the shipment as I cannot pay it at the moment. I have
the item boxed up and ready to go, I just need the money for postage.

If this is not possible I will have to cancel the sale.

David.

You'd better cancel it anyway as it smells fishier by the minute.

And edit out your name again.

The last email came from [email protected], and he forgot to turn the sigs off:

You could send it without paying the postages and they could pay it when they are receive the goods.

That seems a sensible and approach to be doing the business..

You must to see the big picture Mr Dave.

And edit out your name again.

Doh. I am so getting stabbed next time I get into an argument on teh forums.

I think that is what I will reply then.

How much to send a picture of my mp3 player in the post to Nigeria?
