Scams are plentiful all the time, I chased a caravan  that was advertised as being in Sydney and a little over half market value, I contacted the seller (scammer) and said I would be in Sydney early the following week and wanted to inspect the van, sudenly the van was in Darwin,

no problems I have a mate that lives in Darwin so where is the van so he can inspect it, no reply. LOL

Hawk one of the worst scams over here at the moment is people phoning to say they are from the children's cancer society and asking for money.

Foreign accent and from a call centre, do these people have no conscience at all.

Many ph charity collectors now are paid call centers and only a small amount goes to the actual charity and they also want you to sign up for monthly donations.

Anyone wanting to donate its best to do it direct to the charity and tell the ph collectors you have already donated to your chosen charity and not toi call again

Hawk this Charity does not use a call centre, so just another mean scam.

That is way I dont donate to any charity over the phone
