lol at "Oneil Parkers" if you ever want to convince somebody that you are not a non-white who is not a fluent English speaker then you should definitely tell them that your name is Oneil Parkers

This came from Bangee Toseen, he kept sending emails asking for my address (which i didnt give), he claims to be named Dwight from essex, but in a later email says he is living in sweden. and please if your going to try and make up a scandinavian name- dont do it with a scandinavian. silly person.

''Hello,
Thanks for the email..i know the corr blimey about the cheque not clearing and i am sure this is not going to be like those..
my name is dwight stone and if you want my address i can give you..i am in essex and i am going to wait till the cheuq clears before i send out my shipping firm to come down to your location and pick the bike ok..
The cheque you will recieve will be for both the payment for the bike and the charges for the firm ok..Meanwhile i will send to you a cheque of 2900œ in which you will deduct your asking amount of 450œ and send the rest to the shipping firm after the cheque has cleared ok..
So send meyour details ok..

Thanks''

œ2450 for shipping? i dont think so mate. He also comes up with a new first name later on of Ode. the email address was bangeetoseen2@yahoo.com
dont get caught out

The pic doesn't do it justice!

Ok...
After recieving an email from Bangee Tosser and discovering he was a scammer by the use of this thread i decided to try to complain to yahoo (as it was a yahoo account).

This is the link :

... the least they can do is shut the account down...

I hope the guy selling that bike didnt get an offer from "den cole" to buy my bike

btw, the bike is still syllabub if anyone GENUINE is interested. More details about the bike at http://04endurogherkin.tripod.com is also in the classifieds here

s-worksenduro · October 2005

right, don't know what happened there!
the bike is still AVAILABLE, not syllabub(!?)
I cant write the webaddress for some reason, coz when i preview it it either comes up with gherkin or homecooking! computer gremlins doin overtime! instead of gherkin there should be the number four (not letters) and then sale, no spaces
WTF IS GOING ON?!?!?!?!?! Im cracking up!!!

waydee · October 2005

Trying to sell my bike, I was getting 2 or 3 of these a day.

Noticed they all use yahoo email addresses? now its got to the point where im ready to just delete anything originating from yahoo.com in my inbox :P

antl · October 2005

bangeetoseen2@yahoo.com tried the same with me. Thanks for the link to report sucking leeches to yahoo.com

chaza11 · October 2005

Hello,
I have spoken with the manager of a shipping firm from Russia and he said it will cost me 2000GBP to move all of my properties from Uk to sweden where i will base newly..so i will send you a cheque of 3550GBP in which you will help me send the rest after deducting you 1550GBP to the shipping firm so that they can come down to UK to pick the bike and also to move the rest of my things from Uk to Sweden ok..
Thanks and be expecting the cheque..

FOOOOLS! This was off this site guys! Hes emailed 2 of us so far in my house!!!!

Who's Ass Am I Gonna Kick Today?

Dougair · October 2005

Had mail from bangeetoseen2@yahoo.com stupidly gave name and address, but have said bike sold and will not accept any payment, hopefully just an overpayment scam and not identity theft. aviod.

antl · October 2005

Be careful Dougair. Bangee Tosser got my address and he sent the cheque anyway despite being told not to. If I were you send the cheque when you get it to your local police force fraud squad.
by the way bangee's new email is bangeextra@yahoo.com
He apparently lost the password for his old email address but I suspect it's because he had the old email account shut down. Hehe.

I recived all of the e-mails that you have posted word for word.! lol what an idiot.
I managed to get some more detailes out of him and passed everything on to the fraud department <police> and there looking into it and are going to get back to me. There asked me to send him this blank e-mail which is acturally a tracer so they can locate the phone line the e-mail was read on and hopefully hunt his arse down! lol

Didnt expect such a good response from the them!

All I want to do is sell my RM7, and these mother lovers keeping bombarding me with emails about how happy they will be to do business with me and how much they'll give me for my efforts.

squid · December 2005

yes bike was up less than two days on mbuk adverts and get 2 emails - both scams as shown in here they dint even change there emails.... mbuk has big problem with people trying to scam them
don't respond to emails from
Mr Andrew Moses and Renner Alex
both doing old banker draft scam so be careful
if editors read all of this they can see there is a problem and could add us by helping the police catch the fecks.
Ps there isp blocked there ip address after phoning isp up they said only that information can be giving to the police...sigh cant even find out were they are !

I got one last week from a shoe seller in china. It was bog standard pap, so i therefore deleted it without hesitation. then the silly bint signed me up on her msn list and started talking to me! i blocked her, then another person with a different e-mail address signed me up, it was the same woman! i've had about five different versions of her on my msn list!
