I keep an eye on the local freecycle, occasionally someone throws away something I would find useful.
If something good is offered, they are usually inundated with replies so it's rare to get it.
So last week someone advertised this:
>
> Getting rid of this old boring second hand iPAD.
> Absolutely
free.still in good working condition.
> Pick up available
asap.
>
I replied but didn't expect to get a look in.
Today I had a reply:
Hello,
Its good to read from you regarding the Ipad
offer.
I'm located in the City of Belfast and I'm happy to received
you
and hand over to you the offer.Do let me know when you
you think it will be
convenient for you to come and pick up
the iPad.So that I can let you know
when I will be available
to match meeting and for me to email to you my home
address.
As you should know the iPAD is still in good working
condition.
WTF is that all about? This was the INVERNESS freecycle group, I'm not going to BELFAST to get a free ipad.
But just exactly what's going on? It smells of scam, but I can't work out what.
