Brickboo, I tried to buy a 9000 on e-bay and the guy tried to pull the Western Union scam also. I smelled a rat and tried to get phone numbers etc. It turns out the guy was operating out of some seedy apt. in Newark and the guy was an out-and-out fraud. There's a million of these guys out there. If you find a deal that's too good to be true, it probably isn't. Let the buyer beware.

The normal scam is. I wanted to sell 9000Pro for £900. The buyer sent a cheque for £3000 and stated his secretary had made a mistake and for me to send him back the difference £2100.
I suspected his cheque was fraud and I took it to the bank for them to check. Yes it was from a stolen company cheque book. The bank past it onto the fraud squad. He had no intention of wanting my 9000pro.....just my money.

Tony,
He said he owned the company, he's an engineer and there are atleast 5 or six people there that answer the phone for him.

I'm sure there is a heck of a lot more money in hydraulics for ship rudders, (he did say ships, not boats) then banjo picken. all the banjo pickers and guitar pickers I ever knew mostly drove use Chevys and Fords. Ha! Ha!

Don, is that Boouse-war spelled right? I don't want to appear as a Cajun Clown friend.

Boo,
If the spelling is correct then you would pronounce it Bhore-jwwa (should sound like whore with a long rolling R)

With me they acted like they already shipped in a hurry and they wanted me to hurry down and wire the money from Western Union. They even instructed me not to tell Western Union what the money was for. They said to tell Western Union that I was sending the money to a friend.

How can these people figure out how to get into an ebay account and pull these scams and be so stupid? I guess if I sent them the money, then that would make me more stupid. Ha! Ha!

If I were a millionaire I could fly over there and gas bomb their office while the boss was in it. Ha! Ha! Sometimes it worth a whole bunch not to be rich, eh?

I'm an Oklahoma Indian, not a Cajun! You'd have to ask my wife!
