Hello Stefan,
Can you clarify a few things for me regarding the work:
1) what kind of house work you will expect me to do?
2)which part of canberra you'll be staying in?
3)is it possible if we have a skype greeting session so that you can have some peace of mind of seeing who will be working for you (me).

Welcome to Scamwarners johnfk and I regret to advise you that the answer is 'no'.

I presume that he has your real life details and contacts and he can become a nuisance to you if you annoy him.

If you join our sister site 419eater you'll join others who are termed 'scambaiters' who annoy and 'bait' scammers all the time, and you can learn the simple way to do it safely and without risk - I'm one. :D I've had baiting addies bombed by scammers, which is amusing, but not if it's your main e-mail contact address.

CAR ADVERTS - If a car seller mentions escrow - he's scamming you Never ever for any reason pay anything until you have seen and inspected the vehicle
