every time i put a p900 on sale on ebay i get at least 15 emails from people saying

i am from indonesia and i want the p900 i cannot pay via pay pal do you accept Credit cards? please find out how much it is to ship via FEDEX International
Priority with tracking number heres my adress

or i am in America my cousin lives in Indonesia i want to send it him as a birthday present please let me pay via credit card i will pay any shipping costs as long as you can get it to my Brother / cousin or what ever.

any one know the deal behind this is it some sort of scam? because i have seen on many electronics goods auctions on Ebay saying no bids from indonesia do not waste my time with your stories.

Any one know the truth? [addsig]

Stolen credit cards

Edit: also people have managed to hack PayPal so you need to be careful with that as well, but still a good to trade.

yeah, its very simple. there are lots of credit card fraud syndicates operating out of Indonesia. I have had my fair share of those too. These days if anyone emails me for ebay phone acutions I reply with email tracking which can pinpoint (almost) exactly where in the world the email is opened and even the ones that don't own up to being in Indonesia (or US with cousing etc) I can soon find them out!

I guess Indonesia must be a hard place to convict people because these people have been around for ages.

edit: ...and its not just p900s, I've been getting them since my first T68 sold on ebay

you hold on to your modem wire just before you click send then the current pulls you all the way to the destination of the email reciver hold on real tight and watch out for lamposts. [addsig]

Dear verminia thank you for your opinion it is of a value to me far beyond the comprehension of most homosapiens but i use gprs and there is no modem wire to hold on to please explain further.

well GPRS method involves running around a lot and wearing my custom built DATA seers. Which allow you to see GPRS signals moving in the air

heres a picture of the specs in question



basically the GPRS data stream looks like a bluew wavy line you chase this line by any chosen method of transport. Make sure you have your passport with you just incase you need to go over seas. GPRS data locating should not be tried by fat bastards.


Switchbitch does this answer your quesiton?

the glasses cost $50 i live in indonesia please make a payment to me. [addsig]
