Scam from Nigeria? :bigeyes: Tell us something new :bsmilie:
This country is famous for more than such scams and not just since yesterday. Most famous are the offerings to channel some millions of Dollars around the globe, conveniently left by a rich member of the family, inconveniently left at some bank account that is exposed to tax authorities. Your support would be greatly appreciated with 2-digit percentage share .. but first you are required to support the paperwork by sending a few unimportant thousand Dollars to Nigeria, preferable using Western Union :sweatsm: :sweat:

I replied that I know about such scam, and here's his reply:
Why do you waste time responding? You only confirm that your email address is active. Confirmed email addresses bring more money in the business of selling contacts for the next spam / scam wave. Congratulations :thumbsup:
 

Welcome to the Internet.
 

good that someone brought this up, i nearly become a victim, but i knew it long ago....so i play along until FBI thing come up...

i had deleted lots of PMs but still have some trace below:

Dear Mrs Jane,

ok, i trust in this, but i want 3 things to be arranged, first i need a copy for the account number to reflect correctly.

2nd i would need your mobile number, once i have the tracking number, i would sms to you, and i will get the EMS to hold the delivery until i have payment show in my account

3rd, i believed there is some times lap between yours & my country, as i am writting this, my time here is 11:48pm, so the post office already closed, so i want to make this transaction at properly afternoon of my time and morning of yours, so that we have common working hour for my post office & your bank

hope the above is win win to both of us.

my mobile is XXXXXXX

don't want to lose this money cos it can't be refund back to my account..If that it can be refund back i would have allowed them to canceled the transaction. Understand the situation, you are the one delaying this transaction. the verification would only take them 30 minutes and then your money would reflect to your account. Get the item shipped out to my client address i gave to you and get back to me with the tracking receipt and don't forget to mail it to start the verification so that the funds could be available in your account. I wait for tracking receipt from you. Thanks

these are just one of the PM correspondence, and i had indeed received email from their bank showing the tele-transfer document, but very fake, some simple series number on the transaction number asking me to arrange to delivery within 24 hours, the rest of the PMs are
she asked me not to hold the item at EMS, within 30mins i would have received money, but she didnt give me any mobile to contact, and of cos i would not even go Post office to spend on the mail parcel fee and wait for her to transfer $, in the first place i never comfortable with it....

after one day, best part,

I oso kena nearly scam from a buyer in Nigeria that he wan to buy a tag heuer watch about 2 weeks that i posted in ebay and he pay instant payment via paypal and the money was held by paypal. So i clarify with paypal and they mention that no payment was held with them. The buyer keep on e-mail me that he had made payment and all i need to do is just mail it out. It ended up the ebay almost suspend my account in ebay. In the end, i insisted on not sending the watch out and from it i never receive any more email. :angry:
 

Lol... Ask him to sent the cash over first... If he insisted on sending the product first, Get a empty box with a big A3 sized letter: "***** YOU"
 

sorry i dont understand how is it is a scam YET.

Read between the lines " then I would like YOU to give me the bank account details etc etc"
and it's surely a scam to get details.My email received dozens of such junk everyday and
got tired of deleting them.Do be careful.
