"WARNING _ DO NOT GET RIPPED OFF!!"

If you get emails from any "mobileman + a number @ hotmail.com" people trying to sell you things. Do not buy. Believe me I've unfortunately been conned into paying out for something that hasn't been shipped to me, and now I'm a good £100 out of pocket - just letting you know, be very careful when buying things.

By the way, anyone be able to help me out with what I should do now that I have paid out, at least got a special delivery slip confirming my sending of payment, Argh - bad bad people.


K, cheers

Sid went down to Harrow, found the sorting office, took his receipt of special delivery sending.

Been told the immigrant has gone back to Afghanistan.

SO not funny, damn it.

Sid please keep posting here. i really want to find out how this turns out.

Hehehe. I've just found another example of this sort of scam. Go to this website:

http://dailynews.yahoo.com/ h/kgtv/20011221/lo/1014552_1.html (remove the space)

This one probably would have tricked me. Very clever wording.

Sid, I feel sorry for you, but didn't you find his emails odd? He isn't exactly the greatest master of English! Calling himself a genuine business man makes him sound dodgy.
Also, didn't you find it odd that he only accepted cash??? Also his prices are so low, it is pretty obvious that something strange is going on here!

My Mistake! My apologies go out to those feel hurt by any comments said by myself or Jerry Springer. (Apology Accepted, yes, Accepted). Pleasure speaking to you all!

hey i did say thnx for the warning and was only joking at comments give me some credit even though it may not seem we took the info in it will remain in our subconcious minds for when we do see the msg to remember it!!!

Hi,

Iam an legitimate business man, that

electronic products from Japan and
mostly ASIAN countries, my prices and
phones are listed at the bottom of this
letter, they are so cheap because I
import them in bulk and don't pay any
V.A.T. or duty tax, if your intrested
in purchasing regularly from me then
you can buy 1 or 2 phones first and
when your satisfied buy more.All phones
are brand new boxed and come with
charger,handsfree.

What I do is, I let my customers first
send me half of the money, and the rest
after they receive the phone, So you
feel safe doing business with me. If
you buy 3 or more phones at once you
will get 30% reduction, if you are
intrested e-mail me so I can give you
my address, straight on the day I
receive the money I will send out the
phone(s) on same day delivery, the p+p
charges ar included in the prices. If
you are intrested please e-mail me
back, with your order or enquiries.

HOW DID YOU KNOW?

Goddamnit you people are SO clever.

Next time I get ripped off I will be sure to let you know about it, but actually recommend the place or person to you - you'd like that yeah?

After getting ripped off my faith in humanity was tarnished, after reading your stupid comments, I laugh in your face.

Your a bit stupid then

:)
