i put 3 ads out in the recycler and for every one of them i received letters like this. all of them basically the same but from (supposedly)different people. i've seen a thread about this in the pastwhat do you guys make of this. it's killing me to know what the scam is....bank accout info...what ...i know you guys know.here it is:
"thanks for getting back to me rudy , i think am satisfied , i wont mind paying $300 for it because its what i have actually been looking for.and i wont want to loose it to someone else.. Like i said earlier i am based in the Western africa .there won't be any probs about the shipment,after payment ,the pick up will be made at your place. i have made arrangements with the ups shipping agency which will be at your place after payment.As regards payment,this is what i am going to do;I have a client in the US who is owing me US950 i would instruct him to make out a certified check to you in that amount and as soon as it clears your bank. you can now deduct your money from it and send me my balance,i will using part of the money to pay for the shipping and other expenses .you will then send my balance by via western union money transfer.Although the value of the check is more than the asking price but i think i should be able to trust you with my balance. The reason why i am doing this is that it would take a check sent from over here in Nigeria 21days to clearover there,whereas a check sent from the! US would clear tops within 48hrs. So i would like you to deduct the western union charges from my balance.So pls get back to me if my terms are acceptable to you i require your full name, address and phone number so that i can instruct my client to make out the payment to you. Pls get back to me as soon as you get this mail so that we can round things up in a timely fashion..i will be trusting you in this business transaction. get back to me.Thanks in this regardsam"
