Beware Friendly Skydivers...

Recommended Posts

We just had a jumper buy a rig. It was spray painted black. I just saw it this weekend in our riggers loft. Originally it was pretty obnoxious colors.

I'm hoping it was just some stupid kid (the seller) that didn't know any better, but likely it was a scam. It was found here too.

I'm wondering how easy it will be for our local guy to get his money back..........

I'm sure he's getting plenty of advice about buying something sight unseen.

Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

String him on with a story - tell him you've just had a business trip come up and you'll be able to deliver the money in cash if he likes. Seeing as you'll be passing through Lagos Airport he can meet you at the airport and you'll hand over the cash there and then.

Only thing is you'll need a picture of him so you can find him in the arrivals lounge - it needs to be specific as you only have a short stop over before your connecting flight.

Tell him to send a picture of him holding a sign with your firms name so you'll recognize him quickly. Your firms name is of course something like "phillmy krakin" or "Skydiving Rocks" or whatever you can come up with.

Eager for your money the scammer will send a photo of himself holding said card. You can print out this photograph and laugh whenever you're having a hard day. You can even post it here for us to laugh at too.

If you need supporting documents to assist you scam your would be scammer you can visit www.419eater.com and get some of their fake Lagos tickets you can fax your scammer as proof of your intended visit. There's a whole wealth of support there.

Play with them, mess with their head, drive them mad - remember, all the time they're trying to get somewhere with you they're not spending time getting money out of little old ladies. But remember, only go down this route if you're sure they're not going to be able to trace you from the info they already have from you.

I got one like that too, with regards my reig for sale, I strung them along a little, then reported it to the ISP they were using.
They did give me an address, which I've asked Zee to check out for me.:)
