When FedEx liked me and the vast amount of money the company spent with them I was offered free tickets to the British F1 GP.
Lots of booze and food. Think the rep said most people spend their time in the hospitality.
Not for me thanks.
If I had really wanted to go I would have still been uncomfortable with being in the corporate area.
Don't get on with the corporate thing or hospitality. Put the 2 of them together and I hate it

I think anyone going to the British F1 and remaining in hospitality should be taken outside and flogged. And then forced to watch the end of the race.
Philistines.

Quite.
Same for anyone going to any event and staying in hospitality/The Corporate Box

I think I would rather take the flogging than watch a Grand Prix.
Sorry!

Yes, but you wouldn't go at all, Chris, which is fine!

Ah yes, that would be true.

Can I still be a Philistine, though?

I reported a Westwood T60 garden tractor that was up new for £1,099 Inc delivery.
Seller had two positives.
The right price would be nearer £5,000.
Obviously a scam. If it sounds to good to be true.
It was quickly removed..

I've been playing an Ebay scammer (of motor vehicles) to find out how the con works, how they persuade MUGS to send them money without prior inspection of such vehicle.
Here is a quote from one Email.
"
I suggest going through eBay for your peace of mind. As a payment method, we can use Adyen.com secure online service which gives you 7 days inspection period on all vehicles for high amount payments before Adyen pays the seller (similar to escrow service and more secure than PayPal). eBay is to replace PayPal with Adyen as its payment system a leading global payments processor, to become its primary payments, processing partner. Regarding delivery, someone will transport it safely to your location.
The total price is £5600 including delivery fees and insurance. ETA on delivery 4 to 6 working days. I will set up a purchase agreement with Adyen and offer a full 7 days inspection period through their money back guarantee purchase protection program. This purchase protection guarantees that the vehicle is exactly as described; basically, once delivered, you'll have 7 days to inspect it and if you decide not to keep it you will get refunded instantly by Adyen and they will charge me with the return delivery costs.
I will get paid only after you confirm that the vehicle is as described. Let me know if you want to go ahead as I still have quite a few more offers from potential buyers. If you do want to go ahead please email me your full name and address along with your daily contact number to get this purchase registered with eBay and Adyen's secure payment service.
Many thanks, "
Might sound convincing to a less sceptical person.
