Dodgy buyers?

I'm not sure of his user name but it must have come from this forum as the marker is not advertised anywhere else. Actually, it is in one other place but it is a little known forum and I think it unlikely that he would have found it there.
I will see how it plays out before I jump the gun as I don't want to expose someone who may yet be genuine although I think this highly unlikely.
I will keep all posted on what happens.

Sibear, we have warned about this scam on www.southwestpaintball.co.uk/forums for a couple of months as the same scam was doing the rounds on our classifieds service.
Don't bother paying the cheque in - it will bounce and you will be approached by the fraud department of your bank for an explanation. No need to worry, but it is hassle you could do without.

Cheers Chris.
Seems that is was probably picked up from the SWPL forum then.
Thanks for the advice and good luck with next season.

could be a guest or even someone who searched for cocker/sale/classifieds in googol.
Of course, he'd have to filter out all the spaniels
It is a fraud though, don't go near it........... it's a form of natural selection.......... it ensures that those too stupid to raise kids don't have the cash to feed them
Yes mate stay well away from anything to do with western union, had far too many attempted scams etc thrown at me through ebay

possibly one of the dodgiest... real bad spelling, NEVER use a transaction through Western Union!!!!! if anyone EVER offers western union, turn in down
I use WU for a lot of business transactions, not had a problem yet. Just get them to send photoid with name address ect and it can be checked out, otherwise wu is pretty safe.
I got this question sent to me when i was selling my IR3 on ebay...
