Got an odd one for you guys.

Mate of mine just came in. He's advertised his car in a couple of local rags and gumtree. A fellah emailed him last week saying he'd take his word for the description of the car and needed it for work and would send him a cheque.Value was going to be £900 for the car plus 20 quid the guy offered for taking his word by mail.

Bloke then emailed him a couple of days to see if the cheque had arrived.It arrived today. A bankers draft from an irish bank for £3000. It arrived by airmail from togolaise!!!

Apparently once the money is cleared my mate is to email him so he can organise for the car to be collected.

Sounds like a scam of some description to me but no idea what the angle would be here. Any ideas???

It,s a well know scam , the guy will ask for the excess money and the cheque will be dodgy .

I agree with you about this in principle, but it does make it a bit unfair on blokes* though. I am overweight for a woman, but still weigh far less than my ex who at nearly 6' 5" could never compete weight-wise with women and would therefore suffer a luggage penalty. Would all the tall men (and women) of a "normal" weight for their height have to pay extra because of their tall genes?

And taller than average women

Yes, they should base there prices on combined weight of passenger and luggage!!:D

Being a svelte 11 stones who travels light, I should be quids in!!;)

Hi I am hoping to get to Asda tomorrow and I have a question re: the berlotti spread please?

I have printed off 3 coupons are these ok to use, only someone mentioned barcodes and I haven't previously used coupons. Also I know the Berlotti is a stand alone glitch but can I just use sp and filler items?

Thanks for any information, there's not alot on berlotti, it doesn't seem that popular.

He's had another email today saying the 'extra' money is to pay for shipping costs. But doesn't say what my mate should be shipping or where to!

lol fair play to em for trying though.

I've told my mate to email back saying if they contact him again he'll contact the police. Should make em go away.

Its fine, now give me the 2k change and the car and I will stop emailing you

CouponWoman - don't read this as it will upset you.

I remember a couple of years ago that airlines were considering actually using the combined weight of the passenger and luggage rather than just luggage.

It does cost more to transport an overweight person and their luggage than it does to transport a normal sized person and their luggage. I for one am in favour of doing this, but it would be so difficult to implement it that I think they backed off it.

I would never consider it fair to charge extra for the luggage required for disabled people, but for the most part a fat person can lose weight, a disabled person generally cannot change that fact. If a fat person has medical reasons for the extra weight then they would be able to prove that and be excused from the extra charges.

There was a large person on our Cuba flights. Every time he went to the loo he blocked the aisle and caused ridiculous tailbacks.

Now I am running off to avoid the missiles about to be thrown in my direction.

One of the worst posts I read since I started posting .
