FreeflyGoat 0 #1 May 5, 2010 Here is the email I received from a scam artist and my reply. At least he'll be out the postage and time to send me the bogus money order. His two emails: i just saw ur advert of EXTreme-FX84 on the web and i want to buy it for $400 also i will be responsible for the shipment and pick up of the EXTreme-FX84 to my destination. Please get back to me as soon as possible if my offer is okay for you . Vickie. ------------------------------------------------------------ Hello, Thanks for getting back to me, i am in the U K presently but there won't be any problems about the shipment,after payment ,the pick up will be made at your place. i have made arrangements with the prepaid shipping company already. As for payment,this is what i am going to do. I have a customer in the US who is owing me $1,500 so what i would do now is, i will instruct him to make out a payment( Check or Money Order ) to you in that amount and as soon as you get it cashed. you will deduct your money from it and hold on to the remaining balance till i come back to the US in some weeks time ,as i will be using part of the money to pay for the shipping and other expenses. Although i know the value of the payment is more than the price you asked for but i think i should be able to trust you with my remaining balance and the item pending my return to the US. So please if my conditions are okay with you,i would need your Full Name,Address,City,State,Zip Cone and Cell Phone Number so that i can tell my customer to get the payment sent out to you as soon as possible. Pls get back to me as soon as you get this mail so that we can seal the deal in a timely manner. Best Regard ________________________________________________ My reply: I am so happy you want to buy this skydriving parachute. I really need to sell it because I am having an operation for my lung cancer and must pay the doctors so I can get treatment for my terminal sickness. Without the surgery I may die real soon. My prayers have been answered with you buying my EXTreme-SLX skydriving main parachutero canopy right now. God is so good to us when we pray to him and try and be godly people. You seem like a godly person Victoria Atkinson. Alah Akbar Derka Derka. As long as you can trust me with the extra amount then we can do it that way. I trust that you are a good person and trustworthy as well. You seem a likable person. I will just deduct the paymant for the EXTreme-LVX skydriving main parachute canopy and put the remainder of $1000 dolleros in a money order to hold for you until you return to the United States. Maybe we can get together and have a cup of coffee and some tobacco when you arrive back here in the USofA.

Pokerstar 0 #6 May 14, 2010 Dude, I hope your lung cancers gets better soonest! :) Very inventive! I usually get them to the point where they ask for my address and I tell them to use my work address, and i put the US Courthouse address - Internet Fraud Division. Somehow I don't hear from them again. Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber. --- The Dude --- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
