What mug would buy a 2nd hand system like that from another country. Not shipped by specialist.. you taking to bits and she rebuilding?
That alone stinks a bit.
I don't believe it to be true. Let us know how it went. Good luck.
What buyer would bank transfer 1k to a random seller in another country? Don't fall for the
female bit.
Did I make up the female bit? Tripping balls.
Yeah was female. Wouldn't fall for that, women are the evilest of animals so I wouldn't doubt for a second she could have been a scammer.
She pulled out once I mentioned wanting to see the money cleared and in my bank account before I send, like
@Dangerous Dave said.
100% agree - Sending a pc by courier to a different country and getting £1000 by bank transfer to someone you've never met - Scam all the way.
It's either a stolen/hijacked bank account OR this will end up with a claim/threat the item is damaged/not delivered and threats of refunds etc.
It's dead simple - Cash in hand....nothing else.
I would have used the courier we use for work so a claim would have had to be started by myself anyway, but alas, all drama has been avoided as she's pulled out. Sorry, no juicy drama for the hungry wolves of OcUK today
Plot twist. Take the grand and keep it
The possibility did cross my mind but there's zero chance I could do that and not end up handing myself in at the local police station within half an hour, full of guilt
So the question then is, what is it about this PC that they couldn't find in Ireland (or anywhere closer to home, rather than on the farthest side of England)?
Is it massively under priced? Incredibly rare?
If it were some rare watch, or an individual artists work etc then that makes sense. A generic PC? Not so much.
Who knows? Maybe she's heard of my legendary PC building ways? Found me on Facebook and thinks i'm a stud and wants to sniff the PC? Unfortunately, we shall never know
