Robert Longboat, ebay and cheque scammer

Robert Longboat uses this email address, [email protected] he trawls Auction sites looking for things to buy, he will buy anything, so long as the price is high enough, what he will do is tell you he wants to buy your item but wants to pay by cheque, he will send a cheque for enough money to cover delivery and want you to send the money (usually by western union) to his delivery company who happens to be the same person with another email address

The cheque will be a fake, and you will be left out of pocket for any money you have sent him or his courier company,

Please dont fall for it.

Below are some of the emails you may recieve

In this email he doesn't even mention the thing it is he is buying

I will point out that he has no interest in your item, only the fact that you will need to pay the courier company, that's how he steals money
