You should post this on WhoScammedYou.com and put all the scammers info on there so others outside of the CC community can be aware of scams like this.

Before I take action...can someone tell me just what was the "scam"? :o

mrmustang 05-18-2010 08:48 PM

Ron,

Harvesting pictures, cars, listings in a wholesale fashion can be considered spam if that information is eventually used for nefarious purposes.

More like spam.......With the same cut and paste message..For reasons as yet unknown.......A back trace of his email address came up with a MtView,CA location,so perhaps an IP spoof is in place.

computerworks 05-18-2010 10:19 PM

...are you 'back-tracing' gmail.com? :eek:

mrmustang 05-20-2010 10:32 AM

follow up for Ron
 
Sorry Robert,

I only do bank to bank wire transfer of funds, I do not accept checks of any kind. Also, keep in mind that the car will not be available for a test drive without all funds first having cleared the local bank of my choosing. In this way I am covered should your test driver crash the car. If this is acceptable to you, then you need to provide me with your full name, address, social security number, bank name, bank account number, and the name and number of of your local bank manager. I await your information so that we can proceed.

Sincerely,


Bill S.

That's all I was asking for... thanks

jhv48 05-20-2010 11:07 AM

Are there still goobers out there that fall for this crap?

I love to play along with these guys. Have them sent the check and make it out to U. Ben Haad at 4672 Fukoff Street, (anytown, or State). They actually do it and then get pissed when you don't acknowledge receipt. Then they start threatening all kinds of legal action.

robert malby or something? yeah he has been making his way through the ads with whoever has anything for sale....i got one from him too....

FWB 05-21-2010 09:38 AM

i think everyone should start spamming him, a couple hundred emails a day should give him a hint

dcdoug 05-21-2010 10:43 AM

It always cracks me up that none of these scammers can really write a proper English sentence. You have to be pretty naive to fall for a scammer of this sophistication.%/

David Borden 05-21-2010 10:55 AM

Guys,

This Robert guy appears to have tried to scam Don DePontee/Bo. Same text in the email Don sent me.

Wonder if this is the same guy:

No, I don't believe so.

I suggest just using caution when solicited by anyone in this fashion...and do not try and seek out a source of the solicitation, nor toy with the solicitor in an attempt to ferret out the individual.
It will not work and is just unwise.

427Charlie 05-21-2010 01:48 PM

I got the same thing on my Midstates from the same guy - Robert Malby.
I got a phone number out of him:
I can be reached on +447 0359 58245 for further proceedings
Thanks
Robert
