You don't have to give a specific age, just something within a 10 year range would be fine :)

1296522 2012-08-24 05:40:00 20's and that probably makes it all the more worst that I don't know about these scams! I've only just started selling online as I was told it was a fast way to get rid of unwanted things since i'm trying to save to move to oz! But when is all said and done I'm still glad I asked even if it made me sound really guliable. :) Poppycat2103 (16874)
1296523 2012-08-24 06:02:00 Just out of interest, what sort of car is it and what condition?

If it is *cough* old and less than pristine, you would have to ask yourself why somebody would want to ship an unwarranted dunger to Oz.

Smart recovery though, not too many go that far down the path then escape with their bank balance intact.

Well done.

Cheers

On occasion health issues can influence decisions.

I've got a family member recently scammed. He's had to go onto some hefty meds which affect his judgement. The medicos are quick to advise not safe to drive, but they don't add any caution about increased gullibility with scams.

Lucky his partner was onto it or it could have been a whole lot worse for them.

What really gets me is the total impotence of the authorities in dealing with these lying, theiving scumbags. They really deserve a bullet in short order.
