price and condition of same. I gave him the details of expected settlement that it had to be cash or direct deposit before the item would be released. a Day later he came back at me with Paypal information and how to open up an account with them. I told him explicitly told him NO DEAL Cash of Dir Dep. There was several emails which I have kept describing paypal, again I told him absolutely not with Paypal. He then sent me a bogus receipt showing he had paid all the money into the PayPal account and the agents fee had to be paid first before the balance owing to me. The agents fee was somethign like $904, I was supposed to send the $904 To some logistics address which I have prior to them realeasing my asking amount on the bike. It was at this stage I became suspicious and when he sent a poster of an arrest being made and saying it was from Paypal and describing how I should get the money to him. I have sinced been to my bank and no money has been taken.The agents name cited was Ronald Roberts, International Logistics Centre, 14, Cowell street,Chattham. London, United Kingdom. | |||
