Type of a scam Online Purchase
Sell my motorcycle on kijiji and I received this email. I thought it sounded fishy so I Google thier name and location and it came up that the name is used in other scams.
EMAIL "I’m satisfied with the price of the item and I’m really interested in buying it. I would have love to come for the viewing by the weekend but My place is way too far from there in which i am located in Alberta, Stettler and am pregnant presently so traveling all that way is a big problem… So i thought of how to make this transaction work between us, which i came to conclusion with my husband to use a courier company to pick up the item from your place but we will send the money to your account first and after you get the money in your account, the pick up company will come to help us carry it. Since i’d not be seeing the item before i purchase it, i would like you to send some recent pictures of its present state to be sure you still have it and its in good condition. If the pictures pleases me, then we can go ahead with the transaction and will send the money to you without delay…. Lest i forget, i would be transferring the funds to you through PayPal. Please reply with your opinion ASAP Thanks. If you are satisfied with this, please get back to me with the following info, so that i can proceed with the payment at once.
