A Scam.....

[judy]

That's so funny Diana!

Do you remember when one of us (Linda Meyers???) facebook account was broken into and we got emails that she was stuck in London, and needed money via Western Union?

I played along also....and had such a good time! I kept them online for about 45 minutes asking this and that. All they wanted to know was which Western Union I was going to and how much I could send. I ended it by saying that I was leaving for Western Union and that I would send them $1.00. They answered "Huh?" I then sent the nastiest email back about what horrible scammers they were, but they had already gone offline.

I remember, Judy!!

Here's what she sent last night.....notice that now I'm "Dear Diana"!!!
Dear Diana i told you will have 15 days to test the rv and if you like you need to announce ebay to release the money to me and if you don't like ebay will refund you in the same way via western union as soon as show me the payment confirmation i will send you the bill of sale to sign and then to email me back



Here's my response.....

Natalie,



I'm sorry for the delay.....but my husband is a farmer and he has to take some grain to sell to the co-op and in a couple of days I'll have your money ready to send. We really weren't prepared to buy a camper right now but since this is such a good price we decided to go ahead. I'm so excited to get a camper because we've been just camping in an old tent and when it rains the kids .......we have 6......all get wet. The economy has been so bad that this will be our vacation......going to the lake and camping.......the kids are all excited. Sadly, this will be their Christmas present this year as well. Money has just been very tight and school is starting in a month.....Oh well....enough about my problems. I'll talk to you in a couple of days when we have the money.--Diana

I love it!!! You and the 6 wet kids in your tent, Christmas Eve, eating eggs because you can't afford a turkey! Oh...but now you can live in the camper

This is on eBay? When you're finished playing with her, I have a phone number for an actual human person at eBay. Maybe they will do something.

Wow Diana!! You sure are good at making up a story!! If I didn't know better..I would've believed you myself LOL! I can't wait to hear her response to that!

[Blueyes]

Don't know how I missed this, lol! I'm like Judy....I think you should call eBay.

[DianaB]

I thought about contacting ebay but they're not actually IN ebay. They are using some of their pages to try and convince me that they're legit but they're not ACTUALLY using ebay in any way. They talk about it but it's really Western Union. I don't know if ebay would want to mess with them.


Whatever.......I'm going to give them such a sob story and see if they feel guilty about what they're doing!!! Who knows......this family may need this camper to live in eventually!!!!

[Blueyes]

Yes, I think this family needs to live in it with their 6 kids, 4 dogs, and their crazy great aunt Lulu

[JJJ]

WOW, I'm scared of you now

Just be careful and hopefully there not psycopaths.

[Janet]

Diana....you are having way too much fun dealing with this person. Too bad it's a scam...what a great deal huh?

[judy]

Really lay it on Diana!

[DianaB]

I'll try!!!!

[paula1961]

You're doing a great job Diana!! I have total faith in ya girl!! Have you heard from her today?

[gja1000]

I guess she finally gave up, huh? Did you ever hear back from her? She probably figured out you were scamming the scammer!

[DianaB]

I've been so busy that I forgot about her.........I'll try contacting her again and making up a wild story!!!
