Default Avic- N1 Fraud Beware

This is a scam thanks to all the people on this site who told me to use escrow just to see if it was a scam!!!!!!!!! Just saved me 700 dollars that I can now spend on something else.

This is his email address and payment information
Name : Thomas Johanson
Address: 37 Rothbury Road
Zip: E9 5HA
City: London
Country : UK

thojoha17@yahoo.com

This is what I wrote:

I have no problem with using an escrow service. I will have the money sent within the next two hours. All you have to do is go to
https://www.escrow.com/index.asp
and we can set it up that way. This way you are protected and I am protected. Like I said I will pay all the fees and an additional $25 for your trouble. I really want the unit but like I said I am afraid. This would put my mind at ease. I will pay for everything all you have to do is agree to go through escrow. If this is not a scam then you shouldn't have any problem with this since I am paying for it.


This is HIM--- Rat Bastard
I don`t deal escrow...i have give you my name and address you can trust me.

If you don`t trust me sending the $700 via Western Union bank and let me know the MTCN# in maxim 5 hours i will go and ship the unit.

If not don`t e-mail because once we have agree to a deal we must make it not change our mind....if you change your mind like now we have a problem.

In general, I wouldn't buy anything from outside the US unless it's a well known company. Even in the US, if you suspect something, just tell them you happen to be in the area some date and would like to pick it up in person to see what their reaction is.

Yeah that would be a good idea.

This sounded bad to begin with. I would do C.O.D with anything over 300.00. That just seems wierd---a good way to get money and say see ya!

Western Union & MoneyGram .. MTCN doesn't matter. Once the money is gone, it's gone. I got so many ppl trying this & the African money order thing .. it's a pain.
