Dear friend:
Thanks for your letter!

Now the bank account of my paypal is certain not to take up a post the payment of.
I unique payment for accept now is:The electric wire of the bank moves the payment,
If you want to own your kite machine as soon as possible.

Similar found on Seabreeze, a 9m 2009 REV - $400, advert said he was in WA (now claims to be in UK), phone number was for some guy in QLD who had never heard of the kite,, now gettin requests for shipping details...

Love a good scammer,,,

Ahh,, admin just canned the 09 REV add,, the system works...

Hmm, might order 10 of those cheap Crossbows though,,, wonder if he gives bulk discounts???

You've gone too far.
