Swindle?

[SHAKEY]

Hey Patrick, how the hell did you ever get a tune out of that old Sho-Bud??? You must be one hell of a player.

Some news of my seller:

he sent me a mail this night:
The delivery company that I have discussed with, has a very strict policy for international transactions because everything must go smooth. After I give them the package, they send you the invoice and your tracking number so you can check the location of your package. After that, you have to make the payment to them as a warranty. If the payment is not received, the package does not move. After you receive the package, you have 5 days to inspect it but, I believe you can do it faster. When you confirm that everything is ok then, they transfer the money to my account. If you are not satisfied then they will transfer the money back to you. This is very easy and also the safest for both of us. Other way I won't accept. If you are interested then send me your details and I will arrange the delivery. Thanks.

with these pics: You will recognize it maybe


and I answered him this morning:
Thank you Oscar,
OK , please:
1) Confirm the price of 1500 €
2) What is your delivery company?
3) Send me the pic of the case with the guitar inside, and a pic of you playing the guitar.
4) Do you accept that one of my friends comes to your place to buy the guitar?
no answer = no deal,
best regards, Parick Laffrat

Hi Shakey,
My old Sho Bud is this one (I love it). And the one who plays with is really devilish!

I thought one person in Belgium was not honest. So:
- I knew the adress and looked it up in Google streetview
- I tried to find his adress in the telephone book
- I couldn't find him, but found both of his neighbours
- I phoned them both and then I knew, it would be swindle, because no one knew him....

Possibility?
Be carefull!

Yes, This Oscar Barker is really a swindler!
He stopped dialog with me . I began to take some pleasure by reading its frenzy and all its lies, but "the trout released the fishhook".
Be careful, because this little asshole hangs on as a louse. He tries "to sell" musical instruments, bikes, computers, etc. wich exist only in his imagination...
He is certainly a poor guy who believes to make his living as others make it by playing the casino. Fortunately, he has a rather low intellectual level to know nothing of what he proposes in his ads. He has only a single obsession: take the money of persons more stupid than him.
Inform your friends!
