Ditto - still going at it:

Thanks for your response..I'm quite satisfied with the condition and
price,and I need you to understand that i am willing and ready to
purchase it right away, end the advert, consider me as your favorite
buyer. I will be paying the PayPal charges (3.4%) from my account and
will be paying directly into your PayPal account without any delay,
and I hope you have a paypal account. If you have one already, just
send me the address to send it to, which is the email address you use
for it or you can send me a paypal money request, so once i receive
the details i will go ahead with the payment through PayPal and then I
will contact my shipping company after you get the payment. I will
need your home address for it to be Picked Up by the Shipping
Company..

Regards

Hey guys. Just got a text from someone indicating a tomasz Scot was going to email me and to send him an email. I did so and he sent the first message. Did you guys receive the email from tomaszscot@gmail.com?

Glad to see you post on this thread. Makes me feel safer about our transaction. But here's a question: How can someone get scammed if they send money over etransfer? It would seen to me that it's a safe way.

A guy PMed me about my Enduro. Asked lots of question about the bike. Then said he would send money to my account and asked for my Paypal name. About 2 hours later the money did show up but when I read the note on it, it was for a large carbon enduro. Mine is a med. aluminum so I knew there was an issue. The guy went dark on my which was weird since money had been put in my account. upon digging deeper I saw they name from Paypal buyer was different and so was the shipping address. I contacted the person who had sent the money. he thought he was buying a large carbon and sent the money as the other guy had given him my information for payment. We were able to contact Paypal and get his money refunded and I still have my bike. If I wouldn't have checked.. the bike would have been sent to Los Angeles and I would have $2300 but the the guy who sent me money would have no bike and no money. BE AWARE OF THE SCAMMERS!!!!!!!!! I took my bike off pinkbike. Rather sell in person than deal with the scammers.
