When you've had your fun and want to get rid of him, just ask him to email you at work for a quicker transaction.

Give him your work email address - whatever @ department of fair trading.nsw.gov.auuu.

Bet you never hear from him again.

Hi everyone
There is not much you can do with the lowlifes. Even police cant really do much because it is beyond their capabilities. You can report them to the federal police but thy will usually fob you off as they are under the pump as well as local coppers. E crime leave a traile whcih would circumnavigate the world million times over. My partner gets these calls all the time at the local copshop and it is the same story just a different scam. Can't do much about it. Just waste their time by stringing them along.

It is a scam. Guarantee it.  Seen this before.

Uses a stolen PayPal account and you'll lose your money three months down the track when PayPal reverses the transaction.

I am having an absolute blast playing this joker along he just sent me the name of the shipping company he wants to use, I googled it and it is a shipping company that operates in the U.K they don't even operate in Australia. You would think that they would have done there homework better (oceans 11 style) and at least come up with the name of an Australian transport company. I just sent him back an e-mail asking him for his name address D.O.B license number so that I can start the transfer of ownership paperwork for him, now that I have asked for this more personal info It will be interesting to see how he responds, if I can get a name, address etc then maybe I have got something to take to the cops, guaranteed it with be fake but it's something. ;D ;D ;D
