Coyote Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Decided to Post my trackbike for sale on the WERA classifieds... Have gotten a few inquiries, including one last evening with a list of questions. To which I replied. Received this response this evening: Thank you for your response, I am an oceanographer and I am currently on sea at the moment. I am buying the bike as a surprise gift for my son because his birthday is close. He won't know anything about it until it gets delivered to him on his birthday. I can only pay through PayPal as I don't have access to my bank account online/internet banking, but I have my bank account attached to my PayPal account and this is why I insisted on paying you through PayPal. So please get back to me with your PayPal email address and phone number so I can proceed with the payment and after I have made the payment, I have a pick up agent that will come around for verification and to pick it up.Thank You, RegardsEthan Mascarenhas How may red flags can you count..? Googled the name, and Apparently above and beyond being an Oceanographer, Ethan is also a parapalegic former magician. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentracer Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) I always like how demanding some of these folks are. as if you're supposed to jump through all the hoops for them. lol just tell him you need his bank account number and routing number and pin and you'll get it squared away.
