My mate advertised his VX SS on eBay and got about 6 text messages from O/S numbers asking to buy it for $5000 more than listed and for his paypal address. He wasn't too clued up on all the scams and was going to do it.

I filled him in and replied to all the numbers 'Hi, sorry, I don't use paypal as I found too many scammers try to do me out of money. I'd rather you drove the car before purchasing it, so if you meet me after work at Newcastle Police station, you'll be able to inspect and drive the car. Cheers, Detective Inspector XXXX XXX, Internet Fraud depratment.

Pity I did that, no one wanted to message him back, they mustnt like cops.
