After visiting the Webpage the Listing was on he told me he'd sold the Car that appeared in the Photo at least a year and a half ago.<br /><br />So either there's something very wrong with the Property that's stopping it being sold or the Listing is fake. Even if it was the former, then after that length of time you'd think the Seller would reduce the Price to get rid of it. The longer it remains empty the worse it will get.<br /><br />There was another, except every Photo of it was external like they were taken by someone in the Street using their Camera phone.<br /><br />One was on the Internet before it was removed after being sold in a couple of Hours. This means it was seen by the Offerer who contacted the Auctioneer making their Offer, which was relayed to the Seller, accepted, the News relayed to the Offerer who then paid the Deposit and the Listing was removed ..... all in about 2 Hours.<br /><br />2 Hours?<br /><br />Dodgy Freelancers.....<br /><br />Fiverr, Kwork, Upwork etc are saturated with People offering their Services - some of which are supposed to involve making Money.<br /><br /><br />Some of these are....<br /><br />AdSense Website Creators <br /><br />These claim they can create a Website (usually Wordpress or Wix) that will generate Income via Google AdSense. They tell you they are optimised to generate Payments from some of the more "expensive" Clicks (IE; lucrative), while they are "guaranteed" to be accepted for approval by AdSense.<br /><br />The only People who can make that Guarantee are Google AdSense, not some Website Builder, using a Platform that is free to use by anyone.<br /><br />Bots Developers .... <br /><br />Some of these might be genuine, but there are many who aren't.<br /><br />One Trick they use is wanting payment in Crypto Currency. Not only is this not allowed by the Freelance Site they use, you also have to ask why they need Payment via that at all. Fiverr for example, have a 14 Day period before they release Funds to Sellers, and this is why the Vendor asks for Money via other means. Why, when their so called Software is as lucrative as they claim, are they worried about not being paid by Fiverr for 2 Weeks? One claimed his makes "$2000 a day" but he quibbled over $50 in Crypto. But his Programme would have made $28,000 in those 14 days, so what's $50?<br /><br />When I asked him this he said; "It doesn't work that way".<br /><br />I'm not sure it works at all!<br /><br />Another tried charging me $200 for the Seed Phrase of a Trust Wallet that would be used with his Software.<br /><br />The Wallet in question is free to download, install and use, so if his Program is supposed to turn £400 into £28,000 in 30 days why is he charging for a free Wallet?<br /><br />Also, even if it does, he has the Seed Phrase to the Wallet and can access it any time.<br /><br />And another, who when I asked him for an Address so I could send him Money he gave me all sorts of fake Locations. A House in Slough, an Industrial Unit in Germany, a Niteclub and Shop in same, and a Flat in a Suburb of Leipzig. He wants me to send him Money and he can't or won't supply a reliable Address?<br /><br />He was another one who made all sorts of granduous Claims about his Program, but still needed the Money "upfront". Complete Bulshit.<br /><br />Considering these Freelance Sites provide the Actors who appear in scammy YouTube Videos any of these things should be taken with a hefty pinch of Salt.Metro Wynn Presentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225345619193116509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051823036562401979.post-76751005548374596412023-09-22T07:12:30.830-07:002023-09-22T07:12:30.830-07:00If you were at Southerbys or Christie's and th...If you were at Southerbys or Christie's and the Auctioneer opened bidding on a Vase or Chair at £5000, and you bid on it at that Price while no-one else put any further Bids on it you can buy it at that Price.Metro Wynn Presentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225345619193116509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051823036562401979.post-39372666678827855912023-09-22T07:03:44.973-07:002023-09-22T07:03:44.973-07:00Not only am I now seeing one of the same Flats on ...Not only am I now seeing one of the same Flats on sale again for the 4th time (at least), despite 1 reported Bid during its last Auction, it's on sale again for the same starting Price.

They open the App, go to the Street outside the Property, and do a Screen Shot.<br /><br />With this one they've done several as I just checked. You can tell by the Vehicles parked in any of them and how they are the same.<br /><br />I also did a Trust Pilot Search about the Company and found nightmare after nightmare Story about missing Deposits, Gazumped Auctions and all sorts of other Chicanery.<br /><br />They have another where they've reused an old exterior Photo of a 'previous' Auction, and the same Flat keeps being 'sold' over and over again. The thing is, there's a noticeable drop in Quality of the Photo they've used, like it has been duplicated too many times.<br /><br />The same Company took the sale of yet another Flat about a year ago. I remember it and it was sold at the start Price of £59,000. The thing is, the Sale History of the Property has its last Sale at just £45,000. How did that happen, and suffice to say if you or I offered that much it would have been declined.<br /><br />So how did it sell for nearly £15,000 below the asking Price?Metro Wynn Presentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225345619193116509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051823036562401979.post-33878792664518569432023-09-10T20:07:43.861-07:002023-09-10T20:07:43.861-07:00Meanwhile, there seems to be a bit of a Ruse invol...Meanwhile, there seems to be a bit of a Ruse involving eBay Feedback.<br /><br />You'll find eBayers who will offer to double whatever you've bought or subscribe to if you post positive Feedback.<br /><br />The thing is, they ask you to do this before you've even received anything.<br /><br />So you might post Feedback (which can't be edited or deleted) and not receive anything, while your Feedback is read by others, who then buy or subscribe and the whole thing starts again with them, meaning they do the same thing.<br /><br />In other Words the Seller makes Money while not providing anything and acquires heaps of positive Feedback.Metro Wynn Presentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225345619193116509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051823036562401979.post-68572271766433149102023-09-08T20:08:19.289-07:002023-09-08T20:08:19.289-07:00Then you get Property Listings that don't look...Then you get Property Listings that don't look genuine at all....<br /><br />Ones which don't have any interior Photographs for instance.

Here's a thing ...Rigged online Auctions .....?<br /><br />Here's a thing .....<br /><br />I realise that if you were looking for a Bastion of Ethicism etc the Property Industry isn't where it's at, but sometimes it looks so obvious something is amiss.<br /><br />Today an online Auction took place.<br /><br />It was supposed to start at 10am and finish at 3 in the Afternoon. I visited the Webpage where it was happening at about 11am only to be told the Property was no longer available.<br /><br />Now, it could have been sold just before the Auction went live if someone put forward an Offer which the Seller accepted. This does happen, even on the same Day.<br /><br />The thing is, I visited the Auction Site this Evening and discovered that it went under the Hammer after 3 Bids, except to do so meant it was ended before 11 that Morning and not 3 in the Afternoon.<br /><br />So it was as if it was sold to a Bidder before the scheduled time and wasn't subject to an Offer made before the Auction even started.<br /><br />It wouldn't have gone to an Insider with the Auction Company would it, the Auctioneer ending it once they had placed a Bid?<br /><br />It's like another a few Months ago, where it was listed on a Monday and removed within an Hour that day. <br /><br />That means it had to be posted on the Web at about 9am, someone sees it, makes an Offer to the Auctioneer, who forwarded it to the Seller. They, in turn, approve the Offer to the Auctioneer, who then passed it on to the Buyer. The Buyer then pays a Deposit to reserve the Property - which goes through the Finance System. <br /><br />All this in about an Hour????<br /><br />Was this similar to the other Auction, which looks like an Inside Job?<br /><br />I remember yet another by the same Company about a year ago...<br /><br />This one was supposed to finish at 3pm with Increments of £500. As soon as it went live someone put another £18,000 on the Price, and while this obviously pushed up the Cost, the Auction didn't finish at 3pm at all. It continued until about 4.20 and People were still bidding on it until the very end. A bit rough for anyone who might have reserved some time off up to 3pm to bid on it, only to see it continue after they might have to go back to work or whatever. And also for anyone who might have budgeted around the Start Price and however many "£500" they might have been prepared to bid.<br /><br />While all of these start to look like they were rigged against being transparent and public at all.Metro Wynn Presentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225345619193116509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051823036562401979.post-14915453769207232972023-08-03T06:38:10.461-07:002023-08-03T06:38:10.461-07:00Here's a new(ish) one.

Some Auction Sites have an Option where you can make an Offer before the Auction starts. The thing is, this one appeared, was seen, had an Offer made on it to the Auctioneer, who passed it on to the Seller, it was accepted, then relayed back to the Offerer, and then the Formalities were filled out and filed all within a few Hours?????<br /><br />Either the Listing was fake or the Deal wasn't done openly and publicly at all!Metro Wynn Presentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225345619193116509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051823036562401979.post-21471305453286952972022-09-15T23:30:09.604-07:002022-09-15T23:30:09.604-07:00Rather like "Give Blood" a Song that was...Rather like "Give Blood" a Song that was given to a Human Rights Project seems to have turned into Silver Balls and Hippie Rock Operas, it seems the Hippie Scam continues .....<br /><br />Someone called Jono Armstrong emails you with Crap promoting his "Prometheus" trading Bot, addressing you as "hey". Sorry, but if someone addressed me in the Street like that they'd be told to fuck off, while is he turning into Pink Floyd? As the Email is meant to "alert" me does he have a weepy Guitar too?<br /><br />The Problem with him is there is no "Prometheus" Bot. His so called offer is a Training Course costing 1000's and the AI he uses is called Bitsgap. People can show you how to set up Bitsgap either for free or for considerably less than he is charging. They also don't attach any of that time sensitive Bulshit either. Y'know "only a few Slots left", "Taking down in 24 Hours" that sort of thing when, in reality Bitsgap have no intention of discontinuing their Service.<br /><br />His Videos are very formulaic. Long tedious unnecessry anecdotal Stuff that takes Eon's to tell you what you need to know. There are many similar Videos that do this, whether they're selling Trading Software or Health Products, and it's like they're made by Clones of each other, given the same Script with the Product Name changed.<br /><br />Silver Balls bring me to this ....<br /><br />Another so called Commercial on YouTube sells you some Yippie Psuedo-Science called "the Silva Method". It's full of the usual formulaic nonsense as mentioned, and claims you can boost your Performance and even win Games of Chance if you use it. It was when he used the Word "Intuition" I glazed over with Scepticism. Is this some life enhancing thing or is he selling dodgy Piazzas outside Waitrose Tommy?<br /><br />I often wonder how much of this Crap is linked with the Portishead Scam.Metro Wynn Presentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225345619193116509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051823036562401979.post-11032452417522927322022-09-11T05:12:08.252-07:002022-09-11T05:12:08.252-07:00Meanwhile, and something that seems to illustrate ...Meanwhile, and something that seems to illustrate this, is how the Smiths seem to be skulking around in the Background of this Story, but while there might have been Isabella of Marr, a certain Mancunian Guitarist was called John Martin Maher.
