Had a guy trying to scam me today on a wanted ad on gumtree.

I have a wanted ad for a body wiring harness for the Ranger, I picked that he was a scammer straight away as a member of another forum I am on was scammed by the same dude last week and posted the scammers profile, first thought was to fob him off, then I thought I would play with him for a few hours while I had lunch.

He was pretty resourceful, he sent me a picture of a wiring harness that was for a ranger but google look up showed it was from a website and it was a 2,2 Auto, not a 3.2 Auto like I was wanting, he assured me that it was a 3.2 Auto, so I asked for the vin number, he sent me a picture of a vin number for a 2015 Ranger, google look up produced nothing, I was thinking this guy is pretty good coming up with the pics.

Anyway he tells me he is in the NT, Fannie Bay to be precise we agree on a price of $100 including postage, I give him a made up postal address and he gives me his bank details, I check it and its a ING account out of Sydney, by this time I finished lunch and he is harassing me if I have sent the funds, So I rated him badly and reported him as a scammer, when I told him he was getting nothing he just replied with LoL.

I have had 7 responses to this wanted ad, they have all been scammers, its getting hard to go online for things without dealing with this sort of trash.
