[Tom]

Theres a simple rule I follow - I never, EVER click on a link in an email from any organisation I'm registered to, that also holds my credit card/bank details.

If you receive something like that, go to your browser and navigate to the page manually.

DEAR SELLER MY NAME IS DEBBY HOLLY I WILL LIKE TO MAKE TRANSACTION WITH YOU BY PURCHASING THIS ITEM AND I WILL LIKE TO SEND IT TO MY PARENT IN NIGERIA FOR THERE 25 YEARS WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Hi, i have much more intrested in purchasing your item bcos i have been saerching for this item for long,and i will be very happy if you can sell this item to me,bcos i need it urgently for my child birthday in africa within 5-6 days now so i need quik response from you and i will pay u £250.00 for the item

A number of excuses they popped up. I was merely anticipating an excuse so "Little Timmeh" can have the phone ;o

 

[Tom]

I wonder, what would happen if you changed your auction so that western union money transfers meant a clearance time of 12 months?

 

[Yaka]

i know pretemdeding to be copper is illegal but my respsonses to first few was that i was Agent mulder of the uk FBI cyber crimes divison Xfiles. and that i have thier detials and am in contact with interpol over thier tricks. never got a nother e-mail like after wards

 

[Tom]

Fuck, with typing like that I'm surprised they didn't think that you were the scammer......

 

[Yaka]

[Gray]

They dont respond if you tell em to fuck off

Im email-chatting with one of em at the moment, he seems to certain on sending me £450 using Bidpay.. Because his Paypal account got hacked by "Gang Stars".

Poor guy, almost shed a tear

 

[Frizz]

Yaka, you don't need a spell checker, you just need to relearn the English language. :<

 

[Yaka]

ah well nicking off from school was not such a good i dea. cant be arsed learning owt at 25

 

[Yaka]

what the hell is an e-cheque?


i got this in me mail box just now

Dear Yaka

This email confirms that you have received a Pending eCheque Instant
Purchase Payment for 163.00 GBP from ***********
(mailto:***********************8.

This eCheque Payment will remain "Uncleared" until the funds have cleared
from the sender's account, which usually takes four working days. If you
are sending an item, please do not send it until the funds have cleared
into your PayPal account. You will be notified by email when the funds have
cleared into your PayPal balance.

ive blank the buyers name and e-mail addy.

but in the years ive used ebay and paypal i have never come across and e-cheque via pay pal

 

[Gray]

Also...

A Bankers Draft?

Ive seen the payment process listed, but someone has offered to pay using that method. Im not going to accept of course until he may win the auction (If he bids..)

Is it risky? Or is it safe... And i could probably do with a few days of holding off until a paymen goes through so i can get my new phone spot on...

So.. ideas ;o

 

[Cask]

Would have thought a banker's draft would be extremely safe as it's like a bank writing a cheque to you on behalf of an account holder. Give yer bank a call if you're unsure I bet they've got loads of advice on that sort of stuff.

I would resurrect the YakaTranslator™ but it's damn crappy job with low pay and not much in the way of career prospects. You also inevitably lose a lot of the quality of your posts in the translation which is a shame; it'd be like a talentless joe trying to make copies of the Sistine Chapel, it wouldn't be anywhere near as good as the original.

 

[Yaka]

lol



aye bankers draft is secure. cask has it spot on

 

[Gray]

Banker's Draft



A banker's draft is similar to a cheque with the exception that the money has already been debited from your account - thus giving the creditor satisfaction that they will be paid the amount required.

You must give notice to the bank that you require a banker's draft (usually 24 hours) so that they can prepare the draft and check that you have enough money in your account. There may also be a small fee to pay for issuing a banker's draft. On picking up the bankers draft from your bank, the amount is immediately debited from your account.



When the creditor deposits the banker's draft in their account, they will be credited the stated amount (which has already been debited from your bank account).



Banker's drafts are common when making a purchase of a high amount i.e. buying a car.



1. You contact the bank (with 24 hours notice) to request a banker's draft for the required amount

2. On agreement, the bank processes your request and produces the banker's draft

3. You visit the bank and collect the banker's draft in addition to paying a small administration fee

4. The amount is debited from your bank account

5. You give the banker's draft to the creditor

6. They deposit the banker's draft into their account which is credited with the stated amount

Makes a bit of sense i suppose.. As long as its secure im none too hassled about it, and its nothing like Bidpay/Western Union

Banker's drafts aren't that secure tbh. They can be faked quite easily, unless you're in a national bank when the buyer asks the cashier for one.
