Thread Name: BS: A new scam (and it seems not Nigerian!)
Subject: RE: BS: A new scam (and it seems not Nigerian!)
I recently put an advert in Loot to sell some old furniture and I got an email asking what my best price and condition,

After I responded I got another email resplendent with appalling spelling and grammar saying that they agree (without even seeing it), the going on about waiting for a large payment (sounds familiar), and they would pay me an extra £30 to pull the advert.

I got a bit suspicious when they asked for my Full Name and Full Address , at which point I decided it was a bit fishy and ignored it.

Maybe I should have replies, with false details to see what the next email would say. My guess would be asking for my sort code and account details.

Has that happened to anyone else in Loot or similar classifieds?
