Details of A Scammer

Approached by Mark Job by email. Saying they want to buy my boat. They sent a cheque that didn't clear and persistantly asked me to send money to them while it clears. They may have scammed me in other ways as well.

Beware of these people:

Address:25 NOWELL ROAD BARNES
LONDON SW139BT
GREAT BRITAIN.

Please warn others of these scammers and put them on as many spam lists as possible. Thanks

Thanks for posting Mike., and welcome That is an absolutely typical fake check scam - pay in the check, send the money, check bounces, you are left footing the whole bill. How do you mean they've scammed you in other ways as well?

PS Putting them on spam lists is not a good idea (unless you mean lists warning of spam - that happens automatically) - they just open a new email account which google won't find (so no help to other victims)

They may have scammed me in other ways if it had continued.

The cheque bounced so I only had to pay the cost to the bank. The cheque was in euros to a sterling bank andf I had to pay the exchange rate difference which came to £200 when the cheque bounced. They asked me to send them money while the cheque was in clearing, but I didn't. So it could have been worse.

I thought that adding their email to spam lists would be OK, because it irritates them a little and makes them have to change emails. Its not the revenge I would like against them!

I would like others to be aware of this scam and warn others, but I also wish I could get them back!

A good way to get back at them is to post the details (the first email) on our sister site 419eater.com, then perhaps some baiters can waste their time.

Hi Mick

i am glad that you realised before losing money to the scammer, a dishonour fee isn't nice but but yes, you could have lost much, much more.

As for reporting their email addresses, yes, it is an inconvenience to the scammer to have an email address closed, but it is much more of an inconvenience for them to lose a victim.

You will see by looking through our forums that we have gone to the trouble of listing many scammers email addresses, by doing this it allows a potential victim to get a hit on the email address of the person who has contacted them offering the lottery win, inheritance or payment for goods which does save many victims.

By having an email account closed the scammer need only open a new one which takes only a minute or 2 and then he will be bak in business, this time with an email address that doesn't get google hits if searched on.

CLosed email accoutns is an ocupational hazard for scammers nd one that they are well prepared for, they will have their lists of victims transfereed and ready to go in case it happens.

You can see in many cases we have exhaustive details listed on the details associated with an email address, in some cases this will have taken us many hours to compile, many hours of our time compared to 1 or 2 minutes of theirs is definately not good economy and inadvertantly helps the scammer.

We strongly recommend listing the details and email addresses of scammers on sites such as ours which does make it much hearder for them to operate


Edit
Or do as Benjamin has suggested which can realy make them suffer

Hey Mick, sorry to hear that you lost some money, but i am glad to hear it didn't go to the scammer.

You may be able to claim those bank charges back. I'm not sure if the process works for bounced cheque charges, but i've claimed unplanned overdraft charges back a few times. Banks charge you way too much to send you a letter telling you the money isn't there, or that you went £0.05 into your overdraft.

Just had a google and found this handy list of what can and can't be claimed LINK. You can claim the cheque return fee, but not the currency conversion. You can claim any fees up to six years ago, so you may want to check throuh all of your statements and see how much you can get back. Beware: if the claim is for too much money, they will more than likely not pay and wait for you to take them to court.

Hope this helps.

Real address, but no such occupant apparently. If he did exist, he would be an innocent third party. WU payments can be withdrawn anywhere in the world.

Just thought people might like to know that job mark is still trying to scam people trying to sell their boats.. (15,01,2010)Reckon I shall bait this guy a little maybe for a month or so.. Business is slow at the moment so I have the time and could do with a bloody good laugh.. Maybe it will tie up some of his/her resources and save somebody a nightmare..

Welcome Bigfish,

If you are baiting, I hope you are doing so safely--we never recommend baiting anyone who has your real personal information. If you are new to baiting, you can find much more information and lots of help over at our sister site, 419eater.

Can you please post his current letters (script), and any email addresses/phone numbers he has provided? The more information we have, the more likely we can prevent someone else being scammed.

Welcome bigfish.

If you want to bait scammers then it's better to use a free email account from gmail or fastmail which hide your IP and makes you untraceable. If you want to learn more about baiting please visit our sister site http://www.419eater.com/index.php

Hi there to all.. Unfortunately as a business we do lots of advertising, because of this and the types of products we sell, we get literally tonnes of 419 and other related nonsense over the email.. If I had a penny for every one I have received.. I spent quite a time in Africa in my youth and it may surprise (or may not) you to know about something that used to happen but doesnt now. At least I dont think it does so much.. As I said I was in Africa for some time, I drove with ny girlfriend all over the shop from Morocco all the way down to Nigeria and beyond.. Leaving as you do our address with a few people we met along the way.. Now, all this took place over 24 years ago, I will tell you. That I married that girlfriend on my return to the UK had a couple of kids (who are now in their 20's)( we were only together around 5 years) Got divorced got remarried had another child.. And then bumped into my ex-wife just a couple of weeks ago. Remember that UK address we left with a few people we had met in Africa....... What she said amazed me.. She told me that even after 24 years she still gets the odd letter from some Nigerian arse asking for money..(luckily I dont. She got the house the car and the kids.. She can get the letters too) Obviously she has never replied to any of them but you have to say. Persistence should have its oxford dictionary definition changed to include "any Nigerian you ever met, or didnt meet" I will say that I have baited a few of these guys before, and have a rather unique way of dealing with them which I will tell you all about after I have wasted this guys time.. Surfice to say that before the computer age dawned.. Yes they used to scam people by post.. I will ask my ex for any she still has so you can read them. I hope she kept a few.. Just for posterity of course.. Some of them were quite sincere sounding, but still scams all the same.. Big fish

Yes they used to scam people by post..

They still do. Mostly lottery scams, aimed at the elderly.

I am currently in the middle of doing a deal with this person,and as you can see by my user name, feel like a right dunce for being sucked in. no money has changed hands yet but is there anything i can do to stop this guy doing it again?
