When I first started reading this I thought you actually lost money on this. I was like, "Comon man...your smarter than that!" Glad to see I was right. Good catch dude!

kustomcougar · 06-24-2008, 09:01 AM

its because they say "oh my assistant sent to much, please take out your $200 and send me the rest back, and then you find out the money orders where counterfiet, happened to me a few months ago but i never sent or spent any of the money," i beleive the guys name was john crush on the letter but his email name was ying chung or something, and i called the police and they said there is nothing you can do about about because the guys names are probaly fake, and most of the internet scammers get away with since there in another state or country

If I read it right it isn't like he REALLY got scammed. LOL

I like getting the Nigeria lottery ones. Sometimes if I'm bored I'll email them for a day or two.

My friend was selling his bike online...

He had it up for $6000... a guy contacted him, agreed to the $6,000 and sent a check. The plan was to send the check, then my friend would deliver the bike.

Sounds legit...

Wrong... The Check was a ghost... it was drawn on a fake account, and would more than likely take weeks or months for banks to find out.

He brought the check to the bank to check its validity, and they said it was good... however they did offer to run the check for a fraud check. So he waited a few days and they stated the check may be false, as the activity on that account was suspicious...

In the end, the check was a fake... and he luckily did not deliver the bike.

Lol anytime you get an email about something and they address you as:

"Good Day Mr XXXX"

You know it's coming out of Nigeria. That's when you send back a nice email stating: "suck it, Mr. Nigerian".
