Recommended Posts

Looks like the typical scam. He joined yesterday and is trying to buy from several TU members. All his requests are identical copied and pasted. Stay away. Here's the PM I received

here is my e-mail: woodingbank@yahoo.com you can contacy me via e-mail

Hi ..have aggreed to pay for this item with a

certified cashier cheque so the Cashiers cheque that

will be issued will include the money for the sales of

your item + the shipping cost .

Inregards to shipping. I have a shipping agent who

would take good care of the shipment.

You are required to get an instant cashing of the

cashiers cheque in your bank account immedaitely you

recieve it or cash it immediately in a check cash

point and deduct the funds for the sales of your item

and have the excess funds sent to the shipper in order

to come for the pick up of the item.

All neccesary transfer papers will be dully signed by

the shipper on behalf of my client when the shipping

agents comes for the pick up of the item.

I will be willing to entertain more of your questions

that might arise and If you really show willingness

and would really want to sell this item ,please

provide your CONTACT NAME,ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER so

that I can have it forwarded to my client for

immedaite payme

Best Reagrds.

I saw the exact same letter on another site. I don't remember what exactly he was trying to purchase but it was the exact same letter. It has to be a fraud of some sort but I don't know how it would work. Glad you caught it so you didn't have to give first hand experiance on how it works.

Yeah, it's a standard letter. I've seen it and received a few like them in the past. Before I received it, I noticed his name all over TU trying to buy stuff up. I guess they figure they can scam a small percentage of the people.

I'm still waiting for my $14,000,000.00 they have hold for me in a bank in Nigeria!:lol:
