Sorry, I thought that was funny

 

I don't know why you would waste any more time on it. Tell the guy you only deal with select methods of payment, and Travelex isn't one of them, and thank him for his interest but tell him you have another buyer locally, and get on with it.

 

for any internet transaction you better have GUARANTEED money in your account, not some escrow bull shit, before you send the item out

 

Ok, so I've informed him that he is to correspond with me now since the girlfriend is too trusting. I've been communicating with this guy and I told him he is to transfer the money to her bank account and after (and only after) the transfer is fully cleared (told him it would be days or more) will she send him the item, and not before. I'd stated those terms were non-negotiable.

I thought he would bail and not reply anymore, but he emailed me today asking for her bank account so he could transfer the funds. Now, the question is ..... how long is a safe amount of time to wait before the bank can know for sure if the funds were real or not? Do I have anything to lose by giving him the account info? Worst case, it turns out to be fake and we don't send him anything. Not like he could do ID theft with the info or anything, right? And how long for clearing? There's nothing to lose, right? I'm not quite versed on how the banking systems operate.

Thanks in advance.

 

Just ask for a cashiers check. What you will get is fake, but DO NOT GIVE HIM YOUR BANK ACCOUNT#, even if you have 0 dollars in there!!!

This way at least he'll have to overnight a check from who knows where, which will cost him some $$

 

Wow - thanks for the tip man. Maybe it's a stupid question, but what would be the harm in giving someone my checking account number? I've already emailed him and told him I'm only accepting payment via Western Union. I did this since WU doesn't require clearing - once I get the cash in my hands, it is done. Then he replied back saying there isn't a WU agent in his Nigerian district lol.

Thanks.

 

Poetic justice!

 

Dear SiDriver,

We are sellers from Brazil and this guy tried to give us the same thief. Your post was of great help to confirm our suspicious.

He was operating - this time - like Sandra Jamie B. and tried to buy us two notebooks by the price of 2500 euros.

Some things really called us our attemptiom. First because he doesnt send the email from the real email of Travelex, he uses this: tmt.cash.department@customerservices.co.uk

The erros on digitating is also a good signal, besides of he is so dump that uses the same terms like "I'm glad", thanks for the trust, etc.

The fact that he's buying the product for a higher price without prompting is also a good signal, because no one pays more espontantly, right?

He also writes to much, demonstratting that who talks too much, can be lying...

Excuse because I'm improving my english and lets continue to doing something to stop this idiot. He must go to jail!

PEOPLE CAN PULL MONEY FROM ACCOUNTS VERSUS DEPOSITS IF YOU GIVE THEM YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER. DO NOT DO IT.
