fishy email

Should never email or play with these guys. They can only get so much info off of if you dont respond.

i sent them an address that isn't mine, but i can still pick up mail there. so let's see what happens.

yeah i was so stupid to almost believe this. oh well. i'll have a little fun at least.

The biggest giveaway that it's a scam is the misspelling and poor grammar

Good stuff out there specifically geared towards messing with them. I wish I had as much imagination as these guys...

It certainly has all the typical bad grammer and spelling errors used by the traditional Nigerian scammers. Another tell tale sign is the sign off with "God Bless".

I've heard about this.. you charge 1,050 then they send you a check for 1500. Then say oh my mistake can you deposit that and send me back the 450.00 asap....

I wouldn't waste my time with them - ignore them; life is short and you and I have better things to do with the days we have here.....

Even if it was legit, I think it would be a pain to deal with someone who writes so poorly.

And don't be fooled by the check being okayed by your bank, sometimes these checks can bounce 2 or 3 months later. The really sophisticated scammers use real bank accounts (someone else's of course), and sometimes those accounts actually have the money to cover the check. When the real account owner notices the unauthorized check go through, they contact their bank and go through the process of disputing it, and you lose out.
