i know we've heard of ebay scams, but had this yesterday through my website
"Hello,
I was browsing through the internet when i saw your ad.I need a window cleaner in my mum house for the household work. give me the cost price per window and i have about 6windows in house . let me know If you are interested in this job and get back to me with your details.
full name..
address...
phone number...
amount per each window"
i thought it was odd so i replied,
" Hello Tom
Where is your mum's house. Its easier if I come and look at the windows to give you a exact price. If I say a rough price over the internet it may be too much or too little.
If you want me to give you a ring please forward me your telephone number.
Many Thanks

they are trying to find out your prices m8, i would not even worry about it i am guessing yuo are not at all, if people want foreign workers more fool them. not going to affect us in anyway, english are a little funny about this.
-
I expect he'll want your bank details to pay directly into your bank, or how I see it, TO EMPTY IT :o
-
IMO Foreign migrant workers will bring down rates for window cleaning.

I’ve just received the same message, it came through my website. >:( >:(
It is now marked as spam and deleted
Cheers for the warning LWC ;) ;D
-
and me.
-
i had it too.
maybe they are getting our emails through this site?
-
I had that too a few days ago it just got spammed there n then
-
lol, was my first website enquiry too, was well excited ;D
-
he will ask for your bank details and then try to get money
just go along with it, give him a made up address and give him some random numbers for your bank details
just string them along for a while, its a laugh
-
I had the exact same thing through my kyotees listing.
Strange thing is my website has nothing about wcing on it
-
I had the same one

God I think I need to put up my prices again ;D

why do they bother though, if they were to ask for bank account details, as if we'd give em!
like fonejacker on 4 "good evening madame, i just need you account number and sort code"
i thought it was dodge when i read it. they could at least learn to spell properly. and then just give it away by telling me your away on a buisness trip...yeh right mate, good one
-
If you was to give your account number and sort code...
They still could not get money out.....Only put it in...?
I think anyway
-
I had an email back saying thankyou can they have the website address of the window cleaning forum i go to.
I never told them i went to one

I think anyway
i think they can, setup up direct debits for whatever amount they want to
so they got your full name, address, bank account details, so yeh i think they can

If anyone sets up a direct debit you are covered and the bank can get the money back, they can take any amount they want but you have full protection but will take up to 28 days to get the money back I think ;)

Hi all,
I got the exact same email couple of days ago, anyway I knew it was dodgy but to make things worse I got the same email on the same day from a different email address.
How thick must these people be!!!! :-\

Had another one today this time from
trinity_lasson@yahoo.com
-
the idea is to get someone to email back and then they email you with a trojan that willget your bank details if you suspect something delet it dont reply :)
try a scan for the latest trojans and viruses ;D
