Scoboblio Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I'd say definately scammers Anything that has "your item" or equivalent in it surely can't be real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardiffSupra Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Anyone who says "I would like to buy your car immediately" without looking at it is full of it imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Hi, As far as I am aware the 070 number is not a mobile phone number, its a high rate number. No idea why a doctor would have one of those... Scam I would say... Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Peace Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Could the scam actually also be the phone number, i.e. one of those really expensive phone numbers like £5 a minute or something? I know the other scam with the money transfer where they take the money back ..but strange phone number, some people would think its a normal mobile and call it, wonder if theres anyway you can check the cost of the number by calling B.T.?

andrew7 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Could the scam actually also be the phone number, Thats about it, They email a couple of hundred people, a percentage of which call them and spend a few minutes on the phone with them at £5+ per hour... Doesn't take too many to make a tidy profit....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmountain05 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Pls i will want u know that i shall be paying with a UK CHECK OR BANK DRAFT if u are ok with this pls do get back to me so that we can get everything round up soonest. Thanks soo much and i will look up to ur urgent response today. Regards and have a nice day. I get the impression it's from an American or someone who simply has the spell ability of a 7 year old! Either way a load of crap. P.s. "Have a nice day y'all! YeeHaa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
