Dear Worthy Defender people

My name is John Smith and I have inherited two brand new Land Rover Defender Jeeps in special one off Land Rover design, very wanted, and top colour to turn heads, from my late uncle’s estate in Nigeria. My uncle also left me five million pounds sterling. Unfortunately the Defender Jeep's need transport to Uk port and money needs transferring to a UK bank in order for the funds and 4 x 4 cars to be released.

I have searched the internet and found this Defender forum of very good people and I am proposing that a noble member would contact me and be my financial partner and have monies transferred to your UK bank and arrange transport for nice Defender Jeep's to the UK. In payment for your much trouble and time I am offering fifty percent of my inherited estate that would be two and a half million pounds sterling and also one new attired with good spec Defender Jeep.

Please good sir to be sending your bank details to me via function of Private Message and my solicitor will arrange transfer of monies and shipping of Defender Jeep road cars being top spec motors in favourite colour with off road engine.

Yours sincerely

J. Smith For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

Sorry me no like one off specials, the scum steal them and Nigerians try and sell on internet. Don't make old people mad.

is it me, or was when eBay was still young (10+years ago) there was some genuine good deals to be had and most buyers and sellers were honest.

It seems to me that the more eBay try to push it upmarket, by trying to turn it into an online marketplace rather than an online jumble sale, the more scumbags there are on there trying to relieve you of your hard earned. Also there are more and more restrictions on sellers, and the fees seem to creep ever higher.

I have given up trying to sell on it now, too many scumbags trying to clone your listings, and too many scumbag buyers out to mess you about, out to get something for nothing.
