Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

thanks for quick mail,just take the shipper infromation to the bank they can send the money to the information since the name to identify the owner is presented on the information they will be able to send the cash to the shipper.
if the transaction should be done by bank accout it will, take some days before the shipper can get the funds, and this can cause a delay by collecting the funds.
So i advice you take the information to the bank and they will send the funds to my shipper through westernunion, please make sure you take the information to the bank today so that the money will be ready for my shipper today.thanks

Al last the mistake. He gets confused with his multiple personality. He e-mails from his own account (Beckely) stating that Mr. Davies (he should have said Mr. Beckely as he is Mr. Davis) has contacted him.

It gets even worse some times . . .
. . . I serve as a college/campus pastor in the midwest, and people like this send similar things to my church all the time. It isn't with reptiles though, but with "mission start money." Usually, it's way, way bigger money - last one was over a million, and, of course, they want some sent back.
It's sad.
Keep'em going if you can. They deserve a special place you know where.

Followed by this one (it seems he gave it a second thought about giving the first name and zip code, so he went for a second one.

Monte, you know what upsets me most though? Being a Christian myself the use of "God Bless you" at the end of his message (my apologies to those who use it and really mean it). In the past I have seen way too many bad guys using this blessing at the end of their ads.
Kindly.

Have you ever actually received the cashiers check? Or is this rodent actually expecting you to send him the difference first?

John,
No, I never gave him my address. He is actually expecting me to send him $2,850 upfront. It's short of pathetic. Now he "changed shippers", and he is asking me to send the money to London instead! Check the name on the last e-mail (this morning), it seems like a Nigerian scam to me.

Hello Mr.Dan,
Thanks for your quick response to my email concerning the shipper confirmation.please i will not like you to lost the interest in this transaction cause i can see is the shipper trying to bring some confusion in this transaction , like yesterday he just told me his not going to be around for the pickup as quick as i want,that he is going to instruct his partner that also work with him to come for the pickup.Which i have not even knows before,so how can i trust him to come for the pickup of the python.
I want to tell you i have get a new and good shipper so to now make the transaction quicken now so now i have disagreed with his idea about the other partner his to send to come over.Now i will not like any thing to disturb the conclusion of this transaction i have desided to contact a new shipper who also work for my shipping, i can trust him and he is very good in shipping and he has also promise to do the best to complete this transaction in time.i have collect all is information to send the money and also to conatct him on his mail.
Here is his contact information to send the money:
FOLAKE IBUKUN
61A LOWER CLAPTON RD,
CLAPTON, LONDON
E5 ONS.
And also the contact email:mailto.Fibukunperfectshipping@graffiti.net
As soon as you are donbe with the wiring transfer just email with the detail of the westernunion okay.
Thanks.
Best regard to you.
David.........................

If I have time today I would like to check the London white pages to see if this is a real address. It has to be if they want me to send cash over there.

Deffinately keep it up with this imbecile.
It deffinately is the Nigerian Scam, regarded as the #1-#3 biggest internet scam ever!
Keep having him send you those fake money orders with his fingerprints all over them, and have him keep emailing you from all those different ISP's... while you're at it, send him a fake money order or a stack of monopoly money!
We have to get these idiots GOOD!!!
Wasting their time and money is the lest we can do to repay them for what they have done to us!
Keep it going!
take care - Joe

Joe and others,
At this point I don't think they even read the e-mails sent to them. It seems as if was some sort of a computer generated reply. Look at my message to him (them?) below and read their reply in bold.

Hello mr dan,
Awaiting to hear from you,and also the shipper expecting the details of the money which am sure you are done with it by now.
thanks..

David,
Sorry, but I have lost interest in this transaction. The reasons are that first I get an e-mail from your shipper (supposedly in Italy) and he uses your username and e-mail account (and you are in New Zealand, right?). Then you provide me with a contact and a zip code for Mantova, Italy (41600), but you then send another contact person with a completely different zip code. There is too much money involved and a lot of inconsistencies in the information provided.
Thanks anyways.
Dan
