Hello,
Thanks for your mail. I am sorry for the late reply.
I am on a business trip in Warsaw now, but i need it for my personal use. I will take care of the shipping
I will like to know the present condition, the pics and the last price, as the ad was sent to me by a friend. My shipping agents will come down to your location for pick-up?
It will be sent to my home...

| Using another name send him something cheap. Don't send him something dead or that can come back to haunt you. TSend him something VERY cheap but weighs alot. on the declaration form declare the price very high. I mean around $3,000 at least I mean something that he will have to pay ALOT on the import tax in his home country...and get NOTHING :D |

I saw something similar to this, but the seller was selling a laptop.
In the end he sent the guy a used tire and the dude had to pay for the shipping, plus several hundred dollars tax because the seller claimed its value to be several thousand dollars.
Since he posted it on the forums he actually had people in England stake the place out, watch the guy pick it up and pay, etc.
Funny story wish I could find the link. But send his ass a used tire... it's cheap and heavy :D
edit: here's a similar story. check it out, it's pretty funny!

I can read just fine, but there's zero mention of the price of anything in your post. Also, unless I'm a complete moron, I still don't see what the scam is. You get the cash and everything upfront, how would you be getting shafted? |
