Next e-mail>"Thanks you very much for your urgent response, i have seen the pics, and i have relay it to my client and is very interested in buying it, and i have already explained everything to him about the furniture and he wants to pay the amount you charged on it.

He now requested for your Full Name and Address with your Phone Number so that he can make the check for you.because he is paying with a Money Order OR cashier's check which will easy to cash at your Bank.

And i will also arrange for the shipping agent who will come for the picking up at your house.when the check clears.

I hear deploying a recliner does wonders for your fall-rate.

[PhreeZone 20]

I need a user name they are contacting you at.

Simply, don;t respond to them anymore. Its a scam. The money order will bounce and you will be out the money. They will ask you to send the "excess" since they made the order out too large to them.

As Phreezone said, its a scam.

If you proceed, you will get a very realistic looking cheque, (Check to you lot!), in the post. Amazingly it will be for much more than you wanted for your rig and the 'buyer' will ask you to send him back the balance via Western Union. Or perhaps something more elaborate like he can't go through with the deal because his brother is in hospital and needs the money back for an operation. Either way, if you bank the cheque the $$ will appear in your account and it will seem like a realistic transaction. 4 or 5 weeks later the cheque comes back as fake and the bank wants their money back. Some chappie in Nigeria will be dining out and you will be out of pocket.

Ask your 'buyer' if his client has been trained to use a rubber strap-on deployment system!! Don't be surprised to hear that he has!!

They eaven use money orders for this scam and everyone things they are as good as cash then to find out after about 5 days when it reaches your bank clearing house that it's fake and your bank then recovers the funds from your account usualy after things have all ready been shiped.

Some banks also report this to the police, so the person may also spend sp,e time explaining to those nice police officers that he/she was not the one who created this faked check/money order.
