Those scams where they ask for your bank account details are NOT after your money in the bank by withdrawing it. That's a common misconception. Those scams work like this...

1. Tell mark they have a large sum of money coming to them.
2. Tell mark all that's needed is for them to forward their bank account details so the money can be deposited.

After mark sends details scammer writes back...

3. There is a Fund Release fee that must be paid. Should only be a couple hundred bucks.
4. Then there will be an international agent bond fee or some such jibble
5. Then another fee.
6. And another.

The scammer is after the money you Voluntarily pay in fees.

I've just been trying to sell a car. Its just a cheap run about. I posted an add on Ebay. Not more than 45 minutes later I get an SMS on my phone.

Saw your add. Car looks good, will pay $700 over asking price, I'll take it. Can you please email me at JuastinDoyle@gmail.com

So I emailed from a fake account just to see what I'd get. I mean who pays extra over asking price? I unfortunately deleted that account so I don't have the reply but it went along the lines of:

Hi. Can you send me more pics of the inside. Sorry didn't call the satellite on the oil rig is playing up. Send me your paypal account name and I'll arrange payment and send out my courier to collect the car.

I replied with I only accept cash as per my add.

I got something along the lines of Paypal is an formal method of payment for Ebay blah blah blah.

I lost interested and deleted the email account after forwarding the emails to Ebay and paypal. Paypal sent me a thank you email and they are looking into it (email bot sent reply). Heard nothing form Ebay.

Thankfully some real people called me and the car is going Friday.
Still I find it odd that people fall for it. Seriously 700 dollars on top of my 2 grand asking price? Really? 35% extra just cause they liked the add.
