Re: Ebay deal on Boston Whaler Dauntless 160
Ebay needs to do more to police the scammmers! Here's the replies that I received over the Thanksgiving weekend....<br /><br />"For making the transfer you must find a WesternUnion office and transfer the cash at my payment address. If you don't know one, give me your address and I'll search it for you. After making the payment you'll need to send me the transfer details, meaning:<br />-sender's full name and address<br />-money transfer control number (MTCN) which they will give you"<br /><br />"Hi,<br />I want to tell you that the boat is almoust new with all the documents and warranty too,no problems ,no damage . My buy it now price is the best you could get:$6500, including the shipping and insurance taxes because the boat will be delivered from Germany,Europe.<br />I have also a %10 discount if you'll buy it in less than 24 hours from now on. <br />As delivery service I use American Baggage (with insurance and 15 days return policy), because it's the fastest.<br />Let me know your answer and I will provide you all the details in order to close the deal.<br />Thanks" <br /><br />-exact amount sent <br />As soon as I'll check the transfer I'll ship the package and send you immediately the tracking number and a copy of the delivery papers.<br />You have my address.<br />When you will go to the western union office to wire the money, sometimes they ask you why are you doing that. If you will tell them that you send the money for buying something, I will have to pay very expensive extrataxes for making e-commerce. This is the part where I lose.<br />But the part where you lose is that you will have to pay also a considerable amount of money as a custom duty, which for a brand new item like thiscould be about 1/3 from the price of the item. We can avoid paying this money, because it will be enough for you to pay the %5 taxes for the transfer And because I'll make you also a discount even if it's an excellent price, we can act as following.<br />If they ask you, you can tell them that the money are for a relative/friend. I will also do the same thing. I am not willing to spend some useless money, this way we'll avoid it.<br />I hope you will understand why I am asking you this and I also hope we will end the deal sooner."<br /><br />"My anme is Jake Barat and here is my address:<br />Maria-Theresia-Str. 21<br />81675 Munich (Germany)<br />Please send me an email with all your questions and I will be glad to answer to all of them.<br />thanks."<br /><br />"I have a cotract with American Baggage and I use there services for a long time,for that reson I have a big discount(the cost for the transportation is $650)so I can affort to shipp the boat and pay all the taxes.<br />The boat ( and the documents too) will arrive to your door in 2-3 working days.<br />As a payment methoud I prefere wire transfer.<br />Waiting for your answer"<br /><br />"Ok all the papers are in english and the boat and the trailer have US title.<br />I have a smoll busness so I try to survive in this, you know that the competition is very big.<br />Let me know if you are interested.<br />Thanks"
