Evening peeps.

Spent the last couple of hours amusing myself wit an online scammer on freecycle.

They first offered a Mac book and were supposed to be around the corner from me, so I asked if I could have it.

Then it transpired that it belonged to a 'dead daughter' and they couldn't look at it anymore. Also couldn't look at a 43" tv and Samsung Galaxy 6 phone.

Also, that they had relocated to Norwich and suggested a courier could pick it all up if I payed!!

So I said that I had a niece living in Norwich going to Uni and that she could pick it up. :rotfl:

Nothing back since. :rotfl:

Edit - just got this.


i am new in this area and i do not give my address to no one . so if
you want the items,i will take the items to the courier and register.
then the courier will contact you on how to pay and get the items. as
simple as that
just checked on the cost of delivery to your area and the delivery
charges are not so expensive. the delivery charges are in two parts
you can either go for
a standard delivery for 25pounds or express delivery for 35pounds,
depending on which of them you will wish to take. i tried to find out
the difference between the charges,but they said with the standard
delivery it will take two days before delivery but with the express
it will take just max 7 to 8 hours before delivery. If you can afford
it then you get back to me
with details for delivery.
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hope you reported it to the moderators? I mod locally and haven't had one of these scams for 18+ months. One ad did get through and local chap parted with cash.

Rhubarb is a bit slow off the mark, but redcurrants are starting to ripen, loads of gooseberries, and my raspberries will be starting soon too

Oh, and I have loads of potential bunches of grapes too

You have taken the words out of my mouth - my situation is EXACTLY the same :rotfl::rotfl:

Yes I've reported it. The messages between us are going through one of my lesser used email addys. It's been ages since I've seen this scam, so I thought I'd have a bit of fun.
