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.

Also....apologies to those who might be offended by the tone in the letter to the scammer. I'm not THAT kind of a person. I was just trying to teach this "DUDE" a lesson.

Ummmmm
I ran the routing numbers on the bottom of the moeny order and they are LEGIT!!!! Do you know what you have done?!
Lol, just kidding....fake as can be.
These people must be screwing more people than we think, not only the people they try to buy from with fake checks, money orders, etc, but from fed ex and others. Probably set up accounts with fake names and fed ex bills them but that person doesnt exist.
Shame.

Ah ha haha hahahaha! Ah ha ha ha ha hahaha!
Funny thing is the Remitter of the check is "Steve Stone". I'm like, "I know that guy, he's my cousin". I have a cousin named "Steve Stone". All these "white boy" names in Lagos Nigeria.
Steve Stone
John Smith
John Paul
George Abbey
It smells of scam a mile away with false ficticious official titles like "Senior Accountant" and "Personal Assistant".
If you notice on the back of the check it's photocopied, but fades towards the bottom. They did a pretty good job on the check, but the routing numbers are definitely off. The document also lacks the serated edge, and it feels thicker than any check or MO.
I had that Kemi, or Kembi guy e-mailing me, but I haven't heard from him in awhile. Recently I was solicited by a woman who says that she has $18 mil, and she needs me to help her get this money LOL. We'll see....

Bad news. Or good news depending on how you look at it. Looks like Kimbi isn't playing any more. I sent him a nice polite inquiry about snakes for sale under a fake name and email address, and there has been absolutely no response. Oh well. Less fun for me, but maybe that's one scammer that has learned a painful lesson about messing with herpers.

I'm quite sure the names will change but the game won't. He'll be at it again no doubt  There are plenty of people out there to fall prey to this individual, and other's like him. Sad but true...
