Hello Seller, I am Janet Lewis,I am from Uk.I will like to make an urgent purchase of this Auction and i will be willing to offer YAN 40,000

For fast deal you can contact me via My email address Oluwajuwonlo@Hotmail.com or +447024055413. Hope to read from you soon. Janet.L

(Note: so far so good, but the only problem? why does she interchange WOULD with WILL, is that how british speak? not to my knowledge…)

My reply:
hi, I guess my first question to you would be, how did you know I speak english? second, you’re in the UK but you can read Japanese Auctions? Impressive.
Yes, to answer your question I have a lot more PSP consoles. they are all in perfect condition, but not *brand* new, altho they could pass for it. (I can get brand new PSPs but I wouldnt be able to auction for this price)

her reply:

Hello Thomas Francis,

Thanks for your quick responds, (eh, i think s/he means response? not a very educated british… but miraculously can read japanese, heh.)

Really i was just searching through yahoo Auction for the psp because it quiet expensive here in Uk
(Note: another problem, I searched ebay.co.uk and PSPs are auctioning for 150 pounds.)

and i am buying them as supply items to my customers in west africa.

I want the branded new ones,i need 20pcs and i wil be wiling to offer 700 usd each.
(Note: that’s a hell of a price to pay for a console that retails for USD 200 TOPS)

so let me know if you can get them for me,so as to arrange for the payment and shipment and i realy need these supply to be ship to my customer duirectly from Japan so let me know the shipment and the insurance cost.

I will be making payment via BANK TO BANK TRANSFER and your money will be transfer directly via BANK OF AMERICA ONLINE TRANSFER DEPT (www.bankofamerica.com)

I will need this informations to make the payment

Name of tha bank
account number
account holder Name
Swift or sort code

kindly get back to me so as to go ahead with the transfer and to be able to meet up with the supply because its gettting late already.i will still need more of this product but i want us to start with the 20pcs

i will appreciate if you can call me (+447024055413) or send me your phone number to call you.

(Note: I called the number, it’s invalid..)

Best Regard Janet.L

so, all in all, s/he is way too hasty to my liking and seems perfectly comfortable sending 700 pounds x 20 pcs to a perfect stranger without asking me my name, what i’m doing in japan, where i’m from, etc…
i’m still replying her, but playing it safe.

btw, it’s true these morons can withdraw money from your bank account with your account information? what the hell are banks doing anyway? you’d think they would come up with a way to counter that.

anyway, to make a long story short, if these con artists are willing to learn a foreign language to rip ppl off, god knows how far they’ll go as technology gets better and better…

These are the most common scams – play it a bit asking for some sort of proof that they are real. Say something like “I’ve heard a lot of news about scams like this and I want to be sure”. Just remember to pull out when they start asking for money. Maybe set up a fake email address so they dont use your real one. The more time we waste with these scammers, the less people they can target.

@ Barry

I’ve heard about this type of scam on the news recently. People buying high priced goods like cars etc and paying way over the odds then asking for the difference back. Thanks for posting the link.
