lssah2025 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) BEWARE SCAM!! Does anyone know: Barry William/s Bury and Bolton Road, Radcliffe, Manchester, M26 4LJ I have an add on MilWeb and was contacted within a day or so saying he had the item in question, had a total with shipping in USD before he even had my address. He said he could not send a picture. I sent him a pic in an email to verify the item that I wanted is what he had, and he replied yes it was one in the same.... I was looking to buy something off of him, but phone is forwarded and wants Western Union payment. Looked him up online, no record of phone number/address etc.... Number comes up unlisted when he tries to call...... Lance "ORIGINAL EMAIL" Barry Williams <barry.william84@gmail.com> wrote: Hello, This is Barry Williams from the United Kingdom.

sas pinkie Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Hi, Well the postcode does check out as being Bury and Bolton road..... but the phone number is a mobile which I personally would not trust. I personally would not be paying this man, his grasp of the english langauge mirrors those in the dodgy emails we get here from the African continent. Western Union offer no garantees and you make come very unstuck. I would personally want to see a photo at least of the said item from him, I would want a bank account in his name with which the money can be transfered and I would be very warey. Just my thoughts, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor barry as most the incomming faxes are from a timezone 8 or so hours ahead. Why he would want to do a fashion design course in Vietnam puzzles me :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas pinkie Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I could pick it up for you, its not to far from me, pay cash and send it over to you. here you go, get back to the Barry about this kind offer and see if he dissapears into the wood work..... If (and I feel its a big IF) he is genuine he will have no problems with this.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
