Just had a response to my wanted advert on here.

"Good day,

Hope You are doing fine? are you still interested in buying the above Subject,if Yes As soon as i hear from you,i will email you some pics and details Good price is accepted and let me know your best offer,Thanks and Hope to hear from you soon

Greeting From Sweden."

Just did a quick google of this guy. Goes by the name of Pino Mazzer. He's basically one of the biggest scammers out there. Trawls various forums looking at wanted sections then e-mails you asking you to contact him - then Bam, he's got you! Do not respond to this guy!! He asked me to respond to pinomazzer@gmail.com. Reckons he's in Sweden but other forums show Spain, Czech Rep, Italy.

You've now got the heads up. Do not respond to him!

The name:? ?Adhesive (building)

Just got the same. Might ask how much the postage would be for a tumble dryer from Sweden.

He's tried to buy 2 or 3 bikes off me, always got too complicated to be genuine

Qucik google shows he's a Photographer, who is into paragliding, astronomy, cycling, and mostly wanted ads

Don't know what you mean? Are you saying I'll be trapped in a conversation I won't be able to end?

Ending your sentences with a question could get you into a never ending conversation, couldn't it? 😉

I got the same email as the OP in reply to a wanted advert a few hours ago. I just deleted it.

It's difficult to end a sentence that is a question as anything other than a question. 🙂
