Their @ it again.. buyer beware.

Hey Ritchie, read the last sentance, I already said that

On another Topic. Seems some poor rich oil feller keeled over in France or somewhere. I feel sorry for the executrix of his will. She has tried for years to find any living relatives but has had no luck and so she chose me out of the billions of people in the world to split the money with. I was so overjoyed that I accidently deleted her email before I could respond with all of the information she wanted. I haven't been so upset with myself since I accidently shredded that 10 million dollar check from Ed McMahon.

Steve Schindler

I have gotten those e-mails before. Somebody with the same last name as mine, died in _______ (pick a country), they can't find a living relative...yadda yadda.


One of these times, I might have to e-mail them back. I could use the ten million dollars

Here is an example of what I recently got on email along with my friend. Also, the scammer sent us both checks from 1st Community Bank out of Texas - made out for $3500 a piece. Both had the same check numbers. I turned my information in to the fraud department at my bank. Let's catch these guys.

By the way he called and left a message on my cell phone recently - he has a heavy accent and defiantly does not sound smart.

Enjoy.......


" I suppoe you should have received payment by now, but i have not heard from you lately since i asked what the animal has been feeding on. i have been on a conference, I truely appreciate your effort and patience towards this transaction. Payment has been made and i guess you should have received it by now, Please i dont want this to come as a surprise as the amount on the check is different from the amount you asked for the animal, reasons are that my daughter mailed me while in the conference that she needs some money to settle her academic needs. That was why the payment was made to you with the trust i had in you right from the start of this transaction.
As soon as you receive the check i will like you to go ahead and cash the funds likely from a check cashing point, deduct your own part of the funds and send the balance to my daughter in the UK, she needs it to settle some of her academic needs.I suppose it would be cheaper for me if you send the animal to my contact in America though i have a shipper in Canada and that would be after you have have deducted your part of the funds and on receival of the check. I will forward my contacts information to you as soon as you have cashed the check. Help keep everything intact so that nothing will go wrong anywhere, do send the funds via western union money transfer or money gram to my daughter's guardian in the UK, as soon as you lay your hands on it. Here is my daughter's guardian information he provided me :
NAME : Antony Williams
ADDRESS :40 Charlecote Road
CITY: Essex,
ZIP CODE: Rm8 3LD
COUNTRY: LONDON (GREAT BRITAIN)
PHONE NUMBER: +447960147849

EMAIL ADDRESS georgewilliams2009@yahoo.co.uk
I would also implore you send the following information to my mail box as soon as
you send the funds to him ok?
SENDER'S NAME AND ADDRESS
TEST QUESTION (WHAT YEAR)
TEST ANSWER (2004)
MTCN NUMBER AND
AMOUNT SENT AFTER WESTERN UNION CHARGES.

I WILL BE EXPECTING YOUR SOONEST RESPONSE WITH THE WESTERN UNION INFORMATION. I AM ALSO AWARE OF THE WESTERN UNION CHARGES THAT SHOULD BE DEDUCTED FROM MY FUNDS AND NOT YOURS. LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE FAVOURABLE TRANSACTIONS.

Regards
Robin."


This is also what my friend got on email from the same guy the same day.

I've been playing with one of these guys (Andy Rolland) for a few weeks now. His poor wife is in the hospital so I told him I would forward the whole check to him, wthout cashing it, and not take out any money. THAT freaked him out. After the $7000 check came I told him I would hold it until the shipper comes for the snakes. He demanded that I send the money immediately and said he had a bad feeling from the start that I would try to STEAL HIS MONEY!!! LOL!!! I think I scared him away. Darn, I wasn't done wasting his time yet. That check is going to look good on my wall

It is a wood cage 4ft x 2ft x 2ft. The price is $75.00 for the cage but it will most likely cost an arm and leg for shipping. Let me get your info and I will get an exact shipping price. Thank you.

There are more in the next thread
