THE SCAM THREAD

[hiluxman]

Hi

I hope you're well.

We’re looking to carry out some building work later this year and would really value your expertise. Would you be able to provide a quote for the project?

If so, I’d be happy to send over our plans and drawings, which include a brief outline of the work we have in mind, ahead of our onsite meeting.

I’d appreciate your prompt response. Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Helen

I get asked for price of 1t pebbles, they never put where to or more importantly which pebbles they want.

I'll bet if you look at all my replies to 90% are what exactly do you want and where to? Lots of people just forget/don't realise the 'actual' info you need to give them a price.

I was getting more or less that exact same email yr or 2 ago! At first you think nice 1 but soon realise scam/spam…..Wanks!!

Used to get a similar sort of email that would have some attachment that was an odd format.

 

[Giles]

No attachments the ones with drop box links to pdf executable files are laughable this one just no info no specifics but somewhat genuine email address not a computer generated email address

I had an email on Friday exactly word for word the same as that, except it was from a Kath. I thought it was genuine as a friend had just sold a house with planning permission to extend and said he’d pass my details on to the new buyer.

Just drop an email back asking for a phone number so you can call and discuss first

Without knowing the whole story I'm still surprised folk fall for a scam of that size now.
Surely on 70k you'd be triple checking everything under the sun? I know I do on a damn site less.

Unless of course it's not your money ...

First thing that rings out to me is the UK Number on an Irish company.

Will they have any chance of getting that back?

Yet my bank stopped your payment for the S40 brackets few months ago as it could be fraud

 

[CPS]

Exactly, they will stop things for small enough money, yet let 70k go through

he asked me how he would get the money back, sadly i had no awnser there is zero way.... its a transfer they made .

There is a lot of points that alert you to this being fraud but they looked past it thinking they were equally stealing machines cheap
