Potential Fraud - Anderson Turner
Hi All
I have a post on the classifieds for a bike
I was contacted by someone "called" Anderson Turner
We agreed the sale of the bike
He said he would pay by cheque for £2000, then I could take the cost of the bike (£195) and send the remainder of the money and the bike to him.
This is a classic fraud scenario.
Please be careful if he contacts you

Unlikely. Not once he hears that it'll 'help Gore'.

Or play cards with a man with the first name of a US city
You can never trust a man with only two surnames for a name. Everyone knows that. It's one of the basics.
Or a politician with Just two first names
I was keen to sell the bike so I forgave the literacy issues seen in his emails.
But I seem to have become a beacon for these muppets since i used the Road.cc classifieds
BTW bike is still available to people who are spellcheck and paypal savvy
Who does fall for stuff like this? Who ever did in the first place?
At least do a good sham like an Ebay return that's actually a signed for empty box or a collection only item you pay for with paypal, collect and then tell paypal you never collected and want a refund.
I'm not sure how you managed to see through this elaborate plot!
In the absence of Sherlock we need people like this.
