Hello guys I got an email from a guy who wants to buy some memory of me and this is what he sent me. its so funny lol he is so obviously a scammer from Lagos.:chk:
Err. If he wants to pay you for it and add additional amount for you to ship it somewhere else, why not? As long as the payment method is secure.
Come on guys this guy is a scammer its been all over the news. what happens is that he sends the check and then it bounces. also didn't you read the part where he said my son is away fighting a crusade LOL.
yeah I thought the crusade part was weird. But you can just make sure the money is secure in your account before you ship it, can't you? Wouldn't you do this with anyone who buys from you?
To be honest I think you'd be a fooll to send goods off before a cheque clears. The cheque could be stolen. Id stay away from a credit/debit card payment too.... but postal orders are a different matter. Even if he mugs someone for it its not on your head. Get an uncrossed postal order, you cant go wrong!
Well I'm not going to even consider this guy as a buyer hes too risky. what they said on the news was sometimes they give you the money but its dirty money. so basically the are laundering. when they get the item and sell it off to someone else and their money is then clean but your stuck with the dirty money. If they send you a check then probably is a either a fake check with someone else's name on it or it will just bounce. Oh and the reason why the email makes no sense when he talks about his son going on a crusade it's because he translated it from Nigerian to English so it turned out wrong if you get what i mean. Especially those online translators some of them are so bad. But you got to admit the crusade part was well funny and random. :chk:
No denying its dodgy... ive ignored strange £200 orders from france myself but who cares if someone is laundering money in nigeria... your sale would be legal. In truth ive had money laundering written on my credit report for 6 years and not a whisper from the police. Everybody effextively launderers money everytime they stretch their tax return with receipts for goods not 100% business worthy.... you must have done the same if your self employed?
Anyways i got more potential buyers who want my product I'm not going to bother with this guy hes too risky its better to be safe then sorry.
