    I had a laugh too writing it. Aye, il post up any more emails I get. Any suggestions on what I could say to him next? Word of warning though, it will have to impress keith16...

    Tell him you had it all wrapped up and left in post office for collection but the phone rang and Bridie in the post office thought it might be important so she opened it and answered it, it was your mammy she is phoning again so Bridie brought the phone to you.
    When mammy phones back you will head back to the post office to post it again.

    What's your point OP?

    There seems to be a cautionary scam tale buried somewhere in the bilious fumes of self-congratulatory clever-cleverness.

    Speaking of people of that Nationality, a courier dropped a parcel to my Dad's house for me a few weeks ago as I wasn't home. Asked my Dad for a tenner for diesel as he had none to get home!!
    Did you ever hear such s**t?!

    No, I meant to and actually forgot about it until I was reading this :) he obviously seen the big house, an older man and thought he'd chance his arm, the F**ker!!
    Little did he know that my dad's a retired detective and has been around the block a few times ;)

    I must actually find out who the company was and call them, some elderly people wouLd probably think "ah the poor divil" and give it....and him with a Tank full of diesel and a company diesel card no doubt!

    Did you search the name on Facebook? The Adayemi one? Almost definitely a fake, but a lot of scammers aren't very bright. If you happen to find a guy that looks like it matches the location and name, make a fake profile with Huston Kelly and add him. Only if you're bored like.

    Im thought that the name "Adayemi O....y" might be a pretty common name in Nigeria, like Patrick kelly or something here. So I wouldnt like it to end up being a case of mistaken identity.

    Ah shure Nigerian scammmers
    Great bunch of lads:D
    Although in fairness there are some amount of scammers on Donedeal now(not just the Nigerians boyos)

    Too right, I just feel sorry for the people that end up falling for it on Donedeal.

    Better yet send a package about the size it should be if it were the phone, put dog poop or something just as awful in a box.
    Get the box and use an entire roll of sellotape on it, parcel it up and post it to the address he gave you.

    Just for the craic:D

    I would, but im afraid that he might end up not responding to me once he thinks its on its way. I was thinking of posting him a weetabix or something but it would mean having to fork out on postage.

    email him a pic of an iphone beside his address label. then tell him you are stuck for E2.30 to post it and get him to paypal it to you. you can return it after "Paypal" clears.

    I might actually try this.

    Thats nuts, good job finding this. If he is at this craic for two years he must catch a few people out and there must be good money in it for him.

    I love taking the piss out of scammers especially the ones that tell you you've won the Nigerian lottery. Myself and my sister had one of them going for a good week and had made up fake e-mails and all for it. We got bored though after a bit and told him to feck off we knew he was scamming.

    So some fella tried to scam me on Donedeal.ie. I put up an advert for an iPhone 4S just over a week ago. After just an hour of putting it up, some fella tried to scam me by sending me a spoof payment email from Paypal. After telling that I would contact the Donedeal staff and authorities, I had another scammer contact me. I decided to play along with this one. Il attach the emails to "warn" the rest of you if you are selling something online. If you need his proper address or details il attach it. Its worth knowing that paypal never use an escrow service, and even if you get an email off "paypal" informing of payment, its worth logging into the paypal to confirm payment first.


    Really :eek:

    I work with a Filipino kitchen porter, these poor lads are not very Internet savvy at all,
    On Thursday one of them got a phone call from his brother,after a stressy chat he gave his brother his CC number over the phone...the brother had went onto the net, banner pops up from the cyber police notifying them of illegal sites visited and says the fine can be paid now $100 or it gets sent to local police who would investigate..... Before I had a chance to tell them it was ridiculous the brother had already entered the details..... And paid the fine.

    There are still so many idiots out there falling for these scams, I wouldnt even gratify that by calling it a scam though...

    might be an idea, because after he sends you the money(and you email him the postal receipt), i suspect that the package may get lost and you may have to get him to fill an insurance claim for An Post. from what i hear they charge a E10 fee for filing the insurance claim.:D
