Hello, Please can you tell me what you meant by comparing notes?

For starters I am the real Breddan Butter. Not an imposter, but the real one.
Everything I post here on Eater is genuine.
I was a member of Her Majesty's Royal Britannic Aquatic Hussars and also a the most senior submarine commander in the Royal Belarus Rifle Brigade.
I assume that you are the real alfredomofad and that everything you have written is true.
Because we appear to be the only two members of Eater who speak the truth I think that we can trust each other to share experiences or 'compare notes' as I suggested in my previous post.

This all sounds a bit SHONKY, in fact it's a lot shonky.

First we get someone who's had his e-mail address miss-used, redirected, and what-ever else you can think off. Then as an added attraction, he tells us the dude also has his password.

Then his e-bay user account also gets donated to the same person, and not only that but the same bloke also has his pay-pal account details, and all his passwords. which he's using...

Then he tells us that google have given him his Gmail account back,

Then out of the blue, someone from the very same building in Nigeria, pops up like jack-in-the-box and professes his innocence to all this.
How he found out about all this goings-on is another subject for another thread entirely. And if he's not the same bloke, the first poster was talking about, how did he know about it in the first place.. In fact how did he know and why does he care.

It a bit like every Dutchman you know, has one hand stuck in some Dyke.
I said IN a dyke, not UP a dyke.

I think some amature is attempting to have a "lend' of us, and it's not about to work, I would suggest you close the thread, and re-name it
"A MONUMENT TO STUPIDITY"

Now I'm off to water the garden gnomes, in the hope they grow big enough to drive the lawn mower.

The ebay guy posted in July, 2007 and Alfred showed up in Oct, 2008 so if it's someone playing around, they sure waiting a long time between acts.

Yes, I doubt they're connected.

Good point, though, NN.

i wish we could have given alfred a little more time to work his scam...i am curious as to what he was going to ask for...email addys of ongoing baits? WU him money? just here to spy and waste our time? wanting to warn lads who are getting baited? is there even a name for that? ladwarner?

@Bill2 - that link is no longer an article...any chance you could find that article via the wayback machine? or just the author and title, thanks!

er not quite Weareborg - scammer only got my e-bay and (e-bay exclusive) email account. He didn't get into my paypal account, and I did confirm that e-bay didn't have my name, address or banking details (they still don’t). I was able to prove to both e-bay and gmail they were my accounts and got them back. Funny turn of events here though, but sorry I'm not related to Alfred.

I had forgotten all about this. I was just trawling through some old email accounts and had one telling me that I had a private message on this forum. Um, wonder what that's about I thought.

“hello my name is Michael Neal and unfortunately I have been scammed by the same person. I was wondering if there was anyway that I could contact you about any information that you know. Please if you can help at all it would be greatly appreciated. I lost my computer, printer, and speakers, plus 200 dollars for shipping. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. I hope to hear back from you.”

Yeah right: he joins on 4 Feb 2009, PMs me the same day and has not been back since 5 Feb. His total number of posts is zero and he kicks off by asking me for contact details.

Um, I don’t think so.
