Email leads to a PHL man on FB (Spark Johnson, Manila, from 2011)...not sure what this means. Are there male pay site recruiters around?

Reinier Bridge

Postby Maybe1 » Tue Sep 02, 2014 10:17 am

I'm not sure if I'm being scammed. And if I am, I'm not getting how?
The following is going on.
I'm selling my car on Marktplaats.nl within the hour I received an offer matching my asking price.
This gentleman says he is an Marine engineer and he will pay my price on PayPal and his shipping agent will come and will make the arrangements for the car.
I think it's strange someone directly offers you your asking price, and wants to buy a 12 year old car without even seeing it in person.
Above all of this I just received an email from the Marktplaats site saying they've removed this Reinier Bridge's account.

My question is, am I being scammed? And if so, how?
If he transfers the money into my Paypal account, I can transfer it to my personal bankaccount.
If I have the money it's up to him to come and get the car....Where can it go wrong for me?
I hope somebody can help me see this clearly?
Thanks!

Yes. Nigerian overpayment scam :(
Normally with fake checks but for us Europeans they have adapted it to PP.
1. pays too much ("agent" is the excuse why the sender name is different). The "agent" might be a hacked PP account.
2. he asks you pay back the difference via cash transfer
3. the other victims / the bank get to you since they know your name and paypal was part of this scam, while the gangsters have the money difference safely in their anonymous West African hands :(
Account was removed cause they mailed ANYONE who sold ANYTHING there with identical offering.

Can you add the email and phone number and first message text from that gang?

First emailcontact: Hi, is that still available for sale, What is the condition? Email me at reinierbridge@gmail.com

My answer: Goodevening, Yes, the car is still for sale.
Maybe you would like to come check it out tomorrow and see for yourself?
It's in good condition and drives perfectly!

His answer: Thanks so much for your reply, i am really interested in the item and
I am also happy with the condition of the item like you said, I hope
you have a PayPal account because i will be making the full payment by
PayPal money transfer once the payment is made and received you, my
shipping agent will come to your address for shipping because i am not
available right now due to my job. I am a Marine engineer, and am
offshore right now "ON THE SEA". so I can not come for the shipping
myself. I also want you to know that the shipping company agent will
also be preparing the necessary documents with you in my name at the
post office.
I look forward to hear from you. email me directly via your email at
reinierbridge@gmail.com

My answer: In the morning I'm going to check if my Paypal account is still working. Can't your shipping agent pay me in cash? Are you sure to make such an expensive buy without seeing the car for yourself?
You know it's 12 years old, so It's not looking new. But it drives perfectly, I'm very sad I have to sell it, but I recently lost my job and I can't afford to keep it.
If you're sure to buy it I will contact you tomorrow.
When I receive the money, your shipping agent can come and we will take care of the documents at the post office.
You'll here from me tomorrow.

His answer: I will be expecting your response this morning as soon as possible.
Thanks.

My answer: I still have a PayPal account so that should work.
You can transfer the money using this emailadress ************@*****.com
When I've received it I'll let you know and we can arrange for your shipping agent to come get the car.

This is all I have right now.

What if I don't pay back the difference?
Or if I only want to pay it back with PayPal?
What if I transfer the money to my personal bankaccount the minute it arrives on PayPal?

What's the best I can do right now?

Ignoring it, of course. Not getting their attention. And please be prepared you are likely to get similar "offers" from other names ;) (Well, anyone does.)
I think you can block accepting it. Under no circumstances accept it. And don´t reply. Then they will go away.
