No , no reply as of yet strangley enough, He's usually very prompt about replying, I'll send him in another one tomorrow morning if theres no reply by then.
Either way unless he knew the dialing code for ireland and knew to drop the 0 He'd never get through.

Anyone remember, there was this woman on the radio and she was going on about a secret evil cult floating around every country, trying to take over the world. One of the things she was raving on about was that all of the garda stations have 666 numbers and that this was the work of this cult. She also said how she was followed all around the world by them, and that they had even tried to change the hyms in the church, so as to praise the devil. :eek:

Here's a good scam the scammer story-- P-P-POWERBOOK!!

Small article in todays Times passing on warnings from the banks about scams originating with replies to offers of items for sale. The scam involves the fraudsters paying for the goods with forged or counterfeit bankdrafts for an amount greater than that asked for, and the receiver refunding them the excess in real money.

Okay an update , I took a day off. Well it seems that consistancy is not our mans strongpoint!

Goodday Sony,
Thanks for the mail back to me.
Prior to my last mail concerning buying your car, my client in Ireland is oweing me 6000euros
of which I will instruct him to issue you the
bankers draft on my behalf,so i would need your full name your contact details and your mobile number you would then cash the
money from the draft and collect how much we bought
the car and the remaining balance would
be sent
to my shipping agent via western union money
transfer in order to start arranging shippment of
the items down to its destination.
If these would be okay by you,kindly get back to me.
kind regards..
oliver martinez

The Irish are really bad for it. Remember that group of Women in some upper-middle class area who held a party for that "Women Empowering Women" pyramid scheme, and then promptly got relieved of €40,000 cash by two armed raiders. Apparently the Irish are suckers for pyramid schemes and 419 scams and the rest. We're probably a little too trusting, but I'd also say we're a little too superstitious too. Maybe they go hand in hand.
