Job Scam Alert! 9th January 2007.

There is a false advertisment for high paying job on the local auction site (click here). This advertisment looks legit, but there are flaws:
(1) No physical address or NZ registered company
(2) Using free gamil account for corporate business (?)
(3) No office phone, just a cheap preapy number!
(4) Pay him $120 and a free gmail account!

When you respond to his ad, he will be guided to a page with information "to make you rich". See the sample page here.

Please pass on this info to all your friends and usergroups to prevent Kiwi being ripped off or conned by this person. Reports had been file with scam alert team with gmail and concern authorities.

Kiwi Pundit

...If a burglar steals your DVD player, instead of waiting for the police to show up and then making little or no effort to recover it, you're more likely to find it by hunting around on XXXX. All of the honest trading is valuable of course and, overall, TradeMe is probably providing a net public benefit - but nothing like the benefit that the public has received from the privatization of Telecom. For the xenophobes out there, XXXXX is now foreign-owned so that is no longer a difference.

In summary, there's no basis for seizing unbundling the local loop while that evil monopoly XXXX is out there shameless abusing their dominant market position to fleece innocent New Zealanders of their hard-earned dollars. Clck here for the full article.

...for some reason his account got suspended

This is a typical treatment you get from the big auction site...

	I've had a look back on your past trade's and dont see any of these phones, so I'm keen to know the feed back on there quaility, reliability etc. and your back up..? Is this just a one off sale that you have, or are you are looking at importing and distribuating these via Trade me..? Do sell the SD cards..? if so how much.. They look good and the price is ok. Thanks is advanced. posted by: iceman69 (23 ) 1:20 pm, Mon 8 Jan

If you have some time to kill, check this post out....

You mentioned Rae88 having threads voted off she does not like. It takes more than ten votes to vote a thread off, is that not right. If so, then how could Rae88 be responsible.
Because she has lots of Tm identities, and gets others to vote.

But if others vote, then that is their decision is it not?
Yes, but she had conned other men by having sex with them into voting and doing what she wanted.

Mrs xxxx, how do you know that? Have one of these men told you that is so?
Well no, but sometimes they called her mistress on the boards and it looked suspicious.

Watched for Hacked/Fake 4GB ipod on auction sites!

hotmale1616 selling hacked 4GB players trademe.co.nz

"Friday I received the hacked player from a seller trading as hotmale1616 on trademe.co.nz. 4GB Nano Clone with a hacked 2GB Samsung chip K9HAG08U1M.

I used testdisk to analyse the memory and it reported the drive as being too small.

I then loaded it with 3 folders each filed with 1GB of MP3's. The last 9 files in folder2 and the entire contents of folder 3 were corrupt so I was pretty sure it was in fact a 2GB. " Read the full story here....

Excuse me, are you bidding for a used Satellite?

Crazy conman trying to con Kiwi???

	My name is Dr Ayodele Onwuka, until recently Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. I have recently been appointed Director-General of the Nigerian Satellite Broadcasting Corporation, and of course for this exercise we have need of a satellite. Your price of $200 million seems reasonable and my Board has authorised me to accept it. Please forward your credit card and banking details so this sum can be deposited in your account. posted by: jthomson1 (3 ) 3:58 pm, Fri 31 Mar
	Sure thing. I'll send my details to you. Would a copy of my driver's license and IRD number be of any use also? 4:00 pm, Fri 31 Mar
