macker Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I received exactly the same email, except he was not a Dr, he was a Mr.I went one further, I phoned him, he was not expecting that!! I pretended to be a force checking up on his business, it worked!! He hung up very quicklyThere must be some way to stop him..he has a yahoo account. Is there a possibility to contact yahoo regarding this fraudulent pest!Any suggestions? welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yes you can report it but it will do you no good as even if they block the account he/they (the scammers) can just open a new one.http://help.yahoo.com/l/uk/yahoo/mail/original/abuse/abuse.htmlJust delete it and move on.

Benjamin Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 The scammers are really scraping the barrell these days. I put a pair of LHD Ducato headlights in a specialist motorhome magazine.On the day of publication I received an email offering to buy the car! (They don't pay enough attention do they?)Now, the price was £95 so how much of a "mistake" would his bank have to make for the scam to be worthwhile? £950? £9500?Then he makes yet another error by offering to buy my caravan by email the very next day. No hope for them really. [8-|] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAiffricaine Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 You misread it ! he is offering to buy your car a' van. Just a typo error on his part [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
