Ya, I already reported this fool. Still the emails come in with excuse after excuse. (Talking about a ML 383 new in box never used bought this year from US distributer.) He will so gladly sell me for $1700 US dollars, plus shipping + insurance+ TAXES. So I ask for seriel # to play around. "it's already in stamped box ready to go" So I mention escrow account of my choice. "sorry can't do because of problems here in country" He will except only Western Union. What a shit if he gets away with this with others. In his last email he said send western union in a friends name once I receive 383 change it to his name. BUT he says don't tell Western Union or they might charge you a fee. What a loser

Here is the text of my answer to one of these scammers interested in a Pro-Ject Phono Box:

SARA-ROSE:
I have ten thousand (10,000) of these units on hand in a warehouse in
Bujumbura. The usual wholesale price is USD 29,000 each, but for large
quantities I could lower that to USD 13,131.31 each. Payment should be sent
directly to our account in Grand Cayman at the "Standard Universal Imperial
Royal Mercantile Bank of Commerce and Ice Cream Parlour" account number
131313. Please confirm how many of these units you want. All prices quoted
are FOB Bujumbura.
I thank you for your interest and look forward to a long and healthy business
relationship with you.
You may also want to consider some of our other fine products in stock for
prompt delivery and which are generally purchased by government agencies
throughout the world and beyond. Most of these fine products have received
the high acclaim "By Appointment to Zapata"
Ratto B. Bugyourass, CEO Universal Commerce, Trading and Go-Down Company PLC"


I know, I have entirely too much time on my hands.

  I bid on an item and lost. Then the seller contacts me saying he also has another one new in box. Wants Western Union check then will send. Once I said I could pickup and hand him the cash I never heard from him again. THEN another person from over sea's say I have one of the units you were bidding on. Western Union me a check and I'll send you unit. Are these people actually getting people with this crap?
