Thanks for the response .i have contacted my client he said he's ok with the
price and she will issue to you a certified cheque/cashier check of $7,000dollars after you send the following info:
your full name..................
address........................
phone number...................
The money is for to you deduct your money and send the balance to the
shipper when the cheque clears in your bank for 3 days or you go your
nearest cashing points to cash the money so that the shipping company can
come for the pick-up the same day you received the cheque.My client said
he's ready to pay $4700 as he want to use it for a film that will be shoot
in south africa.

 

Goes from he to she so I guess I answered my own question if they don't know the gender of the client. lol

 

The email address wasn't saraparkerss@yahoo.com was it?She contacted me about a hood I had for sale and said the same things.It is a scam,don't send any info.

 

no it was a different email address

 

SCAM

 

biggest scam going right now ....LOL..

go ahead and give them some info and get the check and laminate it and frame it up on the wall its cool to look at but itll be worth less than the fram it is in..LOL

 

Scam all the way. Much like the Dear Mr. SoandSo, I'm representating a kajillionaire in Timbuktu whose family has recently deaded, and we have lined you as a kin.... The first one was funny, the 100th decidedly less so. These scams work because as P.T. Barnum reputedly said, "There's a sucker born every minute."

LOL I plead the fifth! :hail:

 

Scam. The check will be fake no matter how good it looks. For more information on this type of scam, go to www.419eater.com

You can also get more information from www.419legal.com

 

scam all the way had the same thing almost happen to me wit my gocart.

 

I've never responded to these scams, but what happens if someone receives one of these "cheques" and when it clears, just withdraw the amount in cash? Is that possible to scam the scammers?

 

NO you will be held liable for the bad check when it comes back as a fake

 

got the same e-mail except this guy wanted me to cash his check for more than what I was asking then send him the difference. This guy must have thought I was born yesterday. told him come down cash in hand and will talk.
then asked him how many people he has succesfully scammed like this.

 

i think im trying to be played too

first email:
Hi,

I had to take some aleve after reading that, but I know how some people are.

And this shows up today:
Good to hear from you and thanks for the mail.My client who said he's interested in your ITEM has promised to be buying it and will be issuing a certified cashier's check of $3,000 and you deduct the amount of your ITEM which is $181.21 after which you will send the difference via westernunion money transfer to my P.A here to settle our shipper to book us for their cargo, come over to your place to pick the ITEM up and get it transported.
To bring to your attention,It only takes (24HRS) for a certified cashier's check to get cash in the US,so i will like you to get the check cashed the same day it's presented on the counter and i will also like to know if i can count on you to send the difference of the money to my P.A as soon as the check get to you and verified.To make things fast and convenient for the both of us,i will like you to give me the exact name you want o n the check.....Your mailing address....(Street,City,State and zip code) and your Phone # so i can forward it to my associate and he could start with the procurement of the check.
Thanks and hope to hear from you soon,

Damn people, I wanna sell the cam

 

same guy, same e-mails. what a jag bag.....

 

I get to join the club here it looks like!! I had a very similar email from saraparkers@yahoo.com. Does anyone think that the authorities can do anything??

 

Most of this cr_p comes out of Nigeria. Just like spammers, costs little to send a million spam mails and 100 hits turns a profit.

 

Damn, I thought they really were going to give me thousands of dollars more than I was asking...

 

definitely a scam i had someone email me with pretty much the same thing about buying my car, i told them to send me a cashiers check first, they sent it and i could erase the entire check with a rubber eraser, big scam

 

The "cheque" will never clear because it is fake..........
