Pawel Nowak revisited

Vlim · 01-23-2009, 05:56 PM

The old scamster is at it again. Got an email from him with the usual text. Steer clear of this well known and pretty well documented scammer.

Hallo:

I have a Luger 1916 (and P08 holsters) and some Mauser parts for sale (also original Carl Zeiss Jena Scope). If you have an interest, let me know.
Please write to: Shipwrecks.Research271275@yahoo.com

I also have some German Insignia/Medals from WWI and WWII and a few German helmets from WWI and WWII in a good condition. There are also German daggers. I have also a few bayonets and swords for sale: japanese arisaka, and three french bayonets: Chassepot, Grass and Lebel. I would like to sell them for a reasonable price. I also have a japanese swords (katana and tanto) with the blade from XVIII century. If you could have an interest, let me know.

Regards.

Pawel

Gerben,

I think he's on a loop. Same boiler plate e-mail everytime. He must just sit at his computer and hit the same button over and over.

Vlim · 01-23-2009, 06:16 PM

Ron, I know. Just a little warning to our newer collecting friends who haven't heard of him yet.

[cynical mode]
It's good that Poland joined the EU so that people like him can be prosecuted.

I got the same email today 23 Jan. 09. I seem to waste a lot of my time on this spam stuff. It's ashame people have to be people. I guess it takes all kinds. Some need their necks broke.

Ron Smith · 01-23-2009, 07:22 PM

Hey Chester,

Where the heck ya been? Hope everything's well with you?

Ron

ToggleTop · 01-24-2009, 11:26 AM

Ron,

Thank you for asking about me. I am alive and well as for today anyway. Hope you and yours are also well.

During this economical crisis I have been hunkered down in the woods of West Tennesse and burning wood on these cold winter days to save on the high cost of electricity. I hope my bailout money arrives soon. I will stay hunkered down until the money arrives or things get better with the new administration. I am buying nothing but necessities, no lottery tickets but always toilet paper and paper towels. Maybe those would be a good investment in the stock market. Just a little humor to let you know I still have some.

I do appreciate you asking about me.

With Kind Thoughts,

Chester

Keep receiving emails from a guy named "Grayson Mcgregor" ..... heard of him?

Dear Friend,

Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics. I would like to introduce myself, I am Grayson Mcgregor and I work with the staff in the accounts management section of a well-known bank here in the United Kingdom.

One of our accounts is holding a balance of Ј15,000,000 (fifteen million British Pounds) and has been dormant for the past 4 years. From my investigations and confirmations, the owner of this account is a foreigner by name of Mr. Gerald Stone who died on the 4th of January 2002 in a planecrash in Birmingham here in the UK.

Since then no one has responded in anyway in regards to claiming the funds. As far as we can tell he has no family member who are aware of the existence of either the account or the funds. Information from the National Immigration Office also states that he was single on entry into the UK.

I have confidentially discussed this issue with some of the bank officials and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with us. We thus propose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin. We will process these funds from the deceased and release them to you,after due processes have been followed.

This transaction is totally risk free as the funds is legitimate and does not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any other illegal act. Think this over and should you be interested, please let me hear from you.

Regards,

Mr.Grayson Mcgregor

Just another variation of the Nigerian money scams. Enough people caught onto these letters so they have moved shop to places like England, which affords a certain amount of up-front respectability.
If you bite, they will ask you for your baniking information including routing numbers, etc and they will clean you out of anything you have in this account.
There is a hilarious site on the net called something like "scam baiter" where he strings these people along, getting them to do silly or outrageous things since they think they've caught a live one.
Delete this at once and do not respond in any way.

myky · 02-02-2009, 07:35 PM

All...... to show you how far this guy will go to con you out your money....... He either knows someone at the post office, has gotten hold of some blank receipts, or sent an empty shipment. I told him the day before I was cancelling my bank transfer after seeing his " rap sheet " on WA. He still sent this " shipping document " and said he had sent the shipment and for me to show good faith, send at least 1/2 of the money. Man, what a con artist ! I have a good friend who's a detective in Grimbergen who warned me early enough for me to cancel the money. [EDITED BY ADMIN FOR UNACCEPTABLE CONTENT]....... Buy from those who you know !

alvin · 02-02-2009, 07:43 PM

We should not lose confidence on the web simply because a "Pawel Nowak" jumping out. Back a few weeks ago, I was selling a CZ-52. A pawn store guy called in asked "Are you running a business? How can I trust you? What if I send you $205 but you won't send me the gun?" .... excellent caution and excellent question to ask, but .... say, running a pawn store is not easy, I could understand why he was so cautious for $205, but I don't have an good answer.

myky · 02-02-2009, 07:46 PM

Her's a picture the jerk sent me of himself. He thinks because he sits in a foreign country he immune to prosecution. All anyone has to do is file charges on him through Interpol. They will go after himif you have irrefutable evidence. Myky

Edward Tinker · 02-02-2009, 08:06 PM

I've seen several pictures supposedly of this guy, Mike there has been warnings on both Jan's site and this one and the P38 for for about 3 years or more.

Please modify your statement about polish and germans, or I will.

ADMIN

myky · 02-02-2009, 08:19 PM

OK Ed........ I will modify my statement about Poles ( the ones like Pawel Nowak ) in today's time they need to be locked up in jail for thier crimes of fraud....... that was the meaning of my remark, that's all....... Us collectors don't need them running around a fleecing us and them thinking they can get away with it. Have you read the threads about him in Wehrmacht Awards and what he did to Jamie Cross ? It just makes me hot that he can do this with apparent immunity, and I'm sure I'm not the only one..... sorry dude........

Edward Tinker · 02-02-2009, 08:23 PM

its okay Mike, you should ask Jerry what he thinks about this guy ;>)

I think a back of a building whooping and maybe a shot to his kneecaps might encourage him to be a better human....

myky · 02-02-2009, 08:38 PM

Thanks Ed....... didn't mean to offend anyone except him.... He reads the forums this one was directed at him....... I don't know Jerry....... was he taken by Pawel too.....?

Ron Wood · 02-02-2009, 09:26 PM

Mike,
Since he supposedly sent the items, I do not see how he could recall them through the postal service. So if they show up, you are one of the fortunate ones that didn't get scammed and you owe him the payment, but I will be real surprised if you end up paying. Good luck. and I am glad you got tipped off in time, it probably saved you some bucks.

On another note, the "camps" comment is not worthy of you, you are a better person than that. We all have to be aware of the consequences of a casual remark...absolutely nothing justifies the actions of Nazi Germany.

lugerholsterrepair · 02-02-2009, 10:51 PM

On another note, the "camps" comment is not worthy of you..I have several polish Friends..members of this Forum and it would insult them greatly to see this sort of immature hatefull comment about their forfathers Nationality and the suffering they indured.
Your apology is accepted and I understand the sentiment for a thief like Pawel Nowak but words are like arrows..hard to retrieve once sent.
I suggest you edit it out of your post immediately. If you do not..Ed?

myky · 02-03-2009, 09:03 AM

Sorry guys........ my face is red...... It was directed at him only as he reads these forums. I'll take my lashes......
