Thought I had a bite on my racingjunk.com posting, until I received this latest email from the scammer (Max Gilland
[email protected]). Ran a search on the blumail.org email domain and sure saw plenty of scammer result threads (my flags in bold below):
Hello
Thanks for the mail,
Am very much interested in buying this
item and am okay with details of the
item you posted in the ad.i will offer you $900.00 for the item and i will pay you using my paypal account. i have a reliable shipping agent that will pick up the item in your location after i
have make payment to you using my paypal account.
I will add the shipping agent fee $500.00 and the item price $900.00 together to the paypal payment,making total of $1,400.00 that i will pay into your paypal but you are to
forward the shipping agent fee $500.00 to the shipping agent by western union money transfer to enable the shipping agent
meet up with the arrangement regarding pick up of the item in your location after i
have make the payment to you
Also you are to send me your physical home address where the shipping agent will pick up the item after i have make the payment.kindly send me your paypal email so that i can make the payment to you asap to avoid delay.
I await your response.
Thanks
My reply? Sorry, but this reeks of a scam. If only there was a way to attach a trojan virus to a jpg...
