WalMan Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I have been advertising my TE 122H combo in a few places including Gumtree ads - still not really showing signs of moving but that's beside the point. I had an email this morning which I rather suspect is 8ullsh1t but I could be maligning the responder. It is short and does not seem to follow the lines of others I have had that are clearly utter toss, viz "what is you absolute lowest price & will you send it to [i]insert country[/i]" but then again it is from a hotmail account. Now a hotmail account could mean nothing, hell I have used one in the past as a hold all when registering for forums and not wanting to be spammed. The killer punch to me is "will you accept mastercard on delivery and confirmation that the amp is in good condition?" I had drafted a response along the lines of "yes it is and no I won't as I have no means of accepting a card" - though I suppose I could through PayPal if he paid the costs - but stopped at sending it until this evening after more thought. So what do we think? Utter cr@p or possibly OK? Quote

Stick to your guns: cleared cheque, PayPal or cash on collection - no exceptions. I always think offering up your bank details for tranfers are dodgy too, so decline any offers. Ask for a landline phone number to discuss, that usually scares them off! Quote
obbm Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I wouldn't touch with the preverbial barge-pole. Nothing leaves me until I am paid. Quote

Mike Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) Yeah, I think you're right to a ) be suspicious and b ) at least consider it's legitimacy, but I think with anything that sounds dodgy, just kick it to the kerb! Edited August 20, 2007 by Mike Quote
warwickhunt Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 All of the above and especially if it involves a buyer outside the UK! Quote
WalMan Posted August 20, 2007 Author Posted August 20, 2007 Oh believe me [u][b]NOTHING [/b][/u]was going anywhere without cleared funds. Without the Mastercard reference the scam sensors would probably not have been twitching immediately Perhaps I should [i]play [/i]with him for a bit Quote
