So - would you send off your hard earned $700 ??

Ill text my friend - the Nigerian Prince and give him all my bank details........
No one uses Western Union in Stralia................
He also had OZONE www.seabreeze.com.au/Classifieds/Kitesurfing-Kites/~tb390/2014-Ozone-Zephyr-Cruiser-11-metre.aspx?search=yxrOHND3sv5D6BAzBAHXOgu!ksNoU0Ot0qAd47lAucA=
Hmm 2014 14 meter F-one B7 or a Zepher - with $150 difference ?? Must check with ashkiters prince as to what he would chose!!! ;-)
Do you also get a free set of steak knives,a magic bullet blender or flavour stone fry pan?? If not , I wouldn't bother.

In a word. NO
Wouldn't bother with a 14 mtr bandit , I'd go a 2014 zephyr which he's selling for $850
2014 zephyrs arent even out yet so it must be a scam.
I would email him and play the game...I have Done it before,,you can get them quite abusive...its fun..
Good Pickup Lambie lets see who can have some fun with this guy, post results here.
It's not just a Bandit it's a Raptor pro too - brand new full carbon fibre board as well!! So that makes it definite.
Also the text is a bit of a giveaway, lines like "all our product new" screams scam to me.
Just make sure you use your hotmail, gmail etc not your main email. It may be scam to collect your email to spam you to death....
Good point, I have a disposable account dave.spamtrap that I use for this stuff. Can ditch if the spam gets bad.
I am emailing now with "Lanolly Broller" love the name. He claims to be from the US. Has sent me pics taken from this ad.

A bit later I'll ask him if those are the actual kite..
then why someone in UK is also selling his actual kite??
$700.00 what a great deal.

11m Zephyr.. totally.
This guy is pretty bad. Sent a pic of kite in bag with bag slightly open. Excuse was:
Can bring it out in full because its not been paid for , and if i do so no one would want to buy it and it would be seen as used which is don't what that happening.
That's pretty funny, can't open the bag or no-one will buy it
Then he adds this blurb which would be very convincing (not) if I was buying a mobile phone from him. Kite, not so helpful.
This is a company based in USA , and in USA you don't sell clones because here we work with trade union organisation and they monitor all our activities , so why wont you get 100% original phone with 1 year international warranty and 90 days return policy which you paid for because no company would want to loose its license because of Customer Complains
With us you need no worries and we will make your time and interest worth what you will get.
blahblahblah
I take it you're not this Lambie ...
Evil bogan bitch if I ever saw one (Palmer Unit Party goon)
I keep asking about the board, he has sent these actual pics of this board bag. Found thru reverse image search, Same floor etc. I'm not sure he knows the difference. http://www.adventurekiteboarding.com/CrazyFly_Golf_bag_with_wheels_p/crazyfly-golf.htm

I told him I needed the 155cm Raptor board, as a test, just made up a size and not a common/desirably one as you guys would know. As it happens they make a 155 board bag and that's why he sent me the pics of the board bag.
He's getting greedy now, can feel some money coming.
Still going but busy day at work here, so I'll let it play out in full and post screenshots this avo maybe. It's pretty amusing (to me at least)
Unfortunately it appears he won't post a selfie holding a 'hi seabreeze' sign, d'oh.
Just a reminder, best bet is to let us know if you think you've found a scammer so we take action and prevent folks getting burned.
The are a few bargains to be had, my 3 quiver 8 10 12 2014 kites with bar and lines cost me $2750, I deal with a guy who's selling2013 best cabos from $580, these are from reputable dealers and just an example,team and sponsored riders can have kites going really cheap, this one seems suspect as he's selling well below cost,

Hey Laurie, we've found a scammer.
I've played out 64 emails back n forward thru the day, will screenshot tonight and post hopefully. To my sense of humour it's very very funny, he was tearing hair out a few times.
He was offering me a new kite, 155cm raptor board (don't exist), harness, and board bag for $650. Pics were from legit kite shop ads. Most defo a scammer. I have reported to western union now.
He is doing the same thing with outboards and gold detectors on alibaba, and kite ads around the place too.
I'm playing a kid with bad english for extra lols.
You'll have to click the link to read - way too slow to post here sorry.
you can click each pic to enlarge it for easier reading.

That is such a funny photo - as he said 'here is the photo your dad wanted' - that's a pisser!!!
Great effort and such lovely grammer kiteboard dave - your a man with far too much time on his hands !!!
Shame we cant all do what you have done - would piss him off big time :-)
didn't even twig / pick up on your email "dave.spamtrap" ! And had the audacity to call you a thief!!
The face of your friendly kite scammer. The poor fella he was really tearing his hair out
Looks legit, he got woads of mikes lab wace boards behind him,
Classic stuff Dave you have a natural talent
I reckon you should find a dozen or so of these and other types of scammers, give them all the dropbear treatment and put it together in a paperback for the Christmas masses.
You should be making money from a skill likee dat.
It's amazing how the power of greed made that guy hold out for so long.
LMAOOO!!!!!
This is the best thing on the internet in years. About as good as the guy with the spider drawing as payment for DVD rentals. LOL
Thank you guys. This is sweet as.
I love the '... Herd of kangaroos knocking me off my bike' line. Classic!
