@upallhours9 oh yea indeed! I had them do some pretty humiliating things. I told them I would not trust them unless they sent me those pictures. I had the men wear dresses and hold umbrellas. oh man It was great
The new scam on CL involves Jershey Shore Rentals. One ad had a rental for $1400 a month, in an area that goes for $3000 a month. They have balls, these scammers. They post a real estate company's name. Usually they tell the victim to send money to some acct, probably overseas. Then they tell the victim to pick up the keys at the office. Of course the real estate office is like wtf are you talking about? It's not so much greed,as it is stupidity. People are so trusting, and used to
@MrBlackguy28 u are so so right? I'm a full blooded Nigerian. Its quite insulting tagging every scam with "NIGERIAN SCAM". Even the so called WHITEGUYS are scammers, It is in this same UK that some bloody whiteguys took £300 off me after trusting dem thinking that the WHITES are not thieves. The fact is trust no one, any person brought up in a good home with good manners will not become a scammer. NIGERIANS ARE GOOD PEOPLE. Bad people exist in every society.
My apologies on behalf of everyone in the UK.. We are ashamed of these fraudsters that think that a UK address is 'trust worthy'.. These scammers are fun to bait though, aren't they?
@upallhours9 Oh yeah!! Got one on the hook right now!! Soo much fun, will keep everyone posted if anything interesting happens. Keep up the good work my man!! :-)
If you are scared, go to your local police department and tell them the situation.
Say you are in fear of your safety, bring the emails and cheques down to the police station. File a report for fraud. Ask them what measures they recommend.
Perhaps have a friend stay over at your place, just for comfort.
Tell this person to stop calling and contacting you, and you reported the fraud.
It's not the mafia. This is criminal scum. Mafia doesn't deal in this in kind of activity.
that if its a mafia then its risk to go against them etc, so i was really afraid of wat to do next, but after talkin to many people and see some videos im kinda relieved now bt i think im gona be kinda aware of anythin weird happening just in case, i think im kinda paranoic now that someone cud do somethin to me!!
ive never planned to cash the cheque actually my dad is a police office bt im in a different country so i called him n xplained to him the situation and we all agreed this wasnt normal, so i talked to this guy n told him i wudnt cash anything coz i cnt accept money from a stranger!! he got pissed off and i kinda freaked out coz i read many stuff n many people told me different stuff like not going to the police coz they might be watchin me and do something to me,
i received a checked too and i was scared what should i do? i told the guy not to send me anything coz i dont receive things from strangers especially money! bt he never listened to me!
@toyitask88 Whatever you do, DON'T CASH THE CHEQUE! If you do, the bank will clear it, and you will be notified days or weeks later that you owe on the cheque.
You will assume responsibility for the cheque, and then have to pay the bank the money.
I kept the cheque and showed it off to the tellers at my bank, then the police station, where I filed a report to the Fraud Division. I gave all my emails,etc for them to process.
I AM REALY OFENDED DIS THE TITLE OFFENDES ME " NIGERIAN SCAM" HE'S TRYING TO SAY EVERYONE FROM NIGERIA IS A SCAMMER I AM NIGERIAN AND I AM NOT A SCAMMER AND STOP ASSOCIATING NIGERIANS WITH BAD THINGS CAUSE A FEW PEOPLE DID SOMETHING BAD DOESNT MEAN ALL NIGERIANS DID SOMETHING BAD.
@upallhours9 Right back at ya! Anytime I have had the misfortune to encounter any Nigerians in my life whether at a job or somewhere else I noticed that they all are very ignorant and demanding! They act like they are entitled to everything FUCK'EM!
I checked out the address and the postcode - they don't match. I entered '123 Strand London' in the Royal Mail search, and it told me 'too many results' 'WC2R 0DZ' is for 456-458 Strand London Luckily British postcodes, like Canadian postal codes, pinpoint streets and buildings, not just towns and suburbs. That said, the Strand is a pretty prestigious address, so unless the scammer had a mailing address there, it'd look fishy.
How DARE you automatically label this to NIGERIAN scammers??? The address was from the UK!! dont be so IGNORANT!
AMERICANS are known to be oil hungry and greedy, It wouldn't be fair to label all of you that when we know its just a minority.... so DONT do the same for Nigeria. Its ignorant!!
Its sad if some people will keep on tarnishing the name of country because not all nigerians are scammers,I blame the fucking government for the rise in fraud:Its their own making.
@upallhours9 I understand what you mean,Iwas just trying to make you understand that in a society : there are lazy and hardworking people. Our criticism should black out the lazy ones that are fraudsters to join the hardworking ones to rebuild the image of the country not naming us to be the same because I go through with the activities of this nigerian fraudsters but i don't act like them or do what they do so why should I be tagged with them! You know its really frustrating.
I don't think is greed, it's just that American's are too nice and giving people, is why some do fall for it, and you got to realice that they are Voo-doo practisioners, and I do belive in that stuff but sooner or later it will reverse on anyone who practice it! I meet some guy on line last year, and the mother fucker wanted me so send him Via Western-Union $20,000.00 (20K), in three paymnets, so I fool him I said I would and turn him to the F.B.I. mean time I kkeped him going. LOLOLO.
@dahlia007ification : Why people think American's are generous ? They gave things out for something in return or claimed it back on income tax. I still repeat it, only greedy will fall into this 419 scam. This has been going on for long as i can remember in the late 80's before internet exposed it to the world. Internet make it easy to target individual but back then, it was big corporations that fell in the trap. Accepting offer to help someone lifting money illegal is greedy.
I almost got scammed by this Nigerian fellow, at first he told me he was Greek, then it turn out when I talk to him over the phone it sounded like a black man's voice, so I turn hes black ass to the F.B.I. He wanted $20,000.00 (20K)Dll's. matthew1960_martinez@yahoo.com, matthew1960_martinez@facebook.com, matthew1960_martinez@mysapce.com, akinz_odunsi@myspace.com, akinz_odunsi@facebook.com, chiefakinzodunsi@yahoo.com, akintunde@yahoo.com, omotbabatunde@yahoo.com. I hate Him!
Only greedy people will fall in this kind of scam. Nigerian is just a scape goat for this type of crime, shit happen all over the world. Eastern Europe such as Russia, Ukraine, Poland , Bulgaria are all doing the same thing even credit card and phone companies do the same advance fee fraud (AFF). What do you think your credit card or phone company try to do when you received $10 check from them? If you cashed it, you already authorize them to charge you for some kind of monthly service.
i got money orders too they are fake for a mystery shopping job man i got mad people are dum they want to steal your money they need to work stop scamming people dammmmm man ... hey your right what type of person gives strangers money hahahhha not right people right,,,,,,,dont fall for it ......PLEASE BE AWARE
It is a scam but don't judge it by the address. I am sure that there are many people that live at 123 Something Street and The Strand IS a street in the City of Westminster, London, England. It starts at Trafalgar Square and runs east to join Fleet Street at Temple Bar, which marks the boundary of the City of London.
People who are greedy, ignorant people deserve to lose their money to get "free stuff" or "Huge amounts of money". Although, not your case, people are so selfish to even believe this crap sent out from low-life Nigerians.
oh yes ive herd of it and my mom was also almost a victom twice but she did the same thing as you :) she asked the bank and they told her it was also fake and the money would have came from her account. lol my mom loved yelling at the two men who thought they could fool us
An idiot will wake up one morning and stay in his bed with cam without whooshing face and call Nigeria then post it to YouTube; looking at his eyes you will know that he is a criminal. Am not in support of scam but any fool, man or woman, boy or a girl should know how he or she addresses NIGERIA because Nigeria is not a scammer. Call the name of the scammer not a name of a country. Anybody that calls that country scam holly ghost fire will consume him or her to ashes.
I have a question, someone just bought my laptop for 214$, and they sent me a message saying they want to send it to their boyfriend in Nigeria working at the British American Tobacco Company or something. They want to include 100$ more for shipping... is this a scam? Here is the address:
Fuck these people, The nigerian people are scum, Turn 2 keys and press the fucking button!!!!! these assholes made it impossible to use ebay whatsoever now ive been phished 5 times but never fell for it.
@koffinkat666 -use your brain if you say the "Nigerian people" thats a collection of 150million people,your just being obnoxious because there loads of nigerians that buy stuff of the ebay genuinely. I curse all nigerians that do all this horrible things on the internet.
@soulkeeper2200 i post them all my spam . send them hundreds every time you get there e,mails bom bard them with all your crap. just keep fucking with them .
i had the same problem. the guys personal information said he was located in kentucky and i got a message from him saying he would pay me 100 extra bucks to ship my ps3 to nigeria for his son who was doing volunteer work. i was stupid enough to fall into his trap and shipped it. no money comes in to our account so we call paypal and ebay. he deletes his ebay account. we r fucked. i call usps and the box was already flying over the atlantic. never saw the ps3 again. lesson learned.
i put my iphone on ebay and someone bought it and then they said that they wanted the shipping changed to nigeria.WOW im not stupid. And now they keep sending me emails to ship it and i have never received any money. RETARDS
@blackhawk2040 Same thing happened to me on ebay when I was selling an expensive phone. It looked real until the person started saying "I am god fearing" and "this is real" and then I got a fake e-mail saying I'd been paid, when I checked there was nothing in my paypal account. The best thing to do is stop people bidding who have no feedback, scammers feedback will always be zero.
they have friends in the uk to post things to try make it look real like when they do the western union scams its sick and all aid and trade should be stopped to nigeria and ghana untill they stop the scammers
people on here are so funny they are saying im educated and didnt fall for it , like as if the scammers are rocket science degree holders that u just over came.
You lodge the check, they ask you to send back a small amount. The bank says it is cleared but a couple of weeks later is bounces and you are out the amount you sent them back. I know it looks legit. They usually use genuine looking bank drafts that fool your bank into cashing them.
that probably wasn't even from Nigeria, it had no link to Nigeria from what you've shown. There are other countries in the world with cybercrime, you know
i used to get many such letters on my e mail and i played those dudes for suckers like crazy....it must have cost them a b undle just to keep up with me.....then all of a sedden i dont get ay mails from anyone ....ocos these people pass my e mail around wirth a note of dont bother to call this guy he is a sonofabitch....
my 419 Update....Now, this scammer is threatening to call the Fbi if I dont send him his money. I called the bank and confinmed that he sent me a bad check..so, now Iam still toying with him. He dont have a leg to stand on now..haha..hes pised cause he spent money on an overnight package..btw, the street address he gave me was "565 Texts blvd"...texts blvd? cmon.
If you have some time on your hands (iam unemployed) you should begin toying with these idiots and make them chase their winnings. There is no doubt that they think Americans are greedy and stupid, and will cash these crap checks out of greed, but too bad, they're wrong. And if you 419ers are reading this, GOTCHA!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I told him that I sent him the money..so he went all the way to the Western Union office, and found nothing..haha...then, later, I sent him back again, and nothing!!...then he wrote me back, and was very irritated, so, I told him I sent it again, and he went back to the western union office AGAIN!!..hahaha..Best thing to do is to waste their time, and money (he sent the check via UPS overnight which can cost $40.00) plus all the trips to WestUnion,so this will end up costing HIM!!!! hahahaha!!!!
Iam having fun with my 419 Scammer!! He just overnighted me a check for $1950.00 even tho my asking price for the "bath fawcett" i was selling was $450.00. Now, he is asking me to send him $1500.00 back. Yea, ok!! I contacted the bank that it was issued from and they told me it was a bad check (duh!). I reported it to them anyway, but Iam sure nothing will be done. "Mr Voight" (the scammer) has another thing coming..
Yeah i really hate the scammers. I mess with them non stop.They are stupid, i give them stupid address and they go for it, really who really falls for 123 sesame st 90210 but they do. i also call them and just be as crule as i can and this dumbass keeps an picking up his phone
bcos they make 500 000 dollars some months from less than 4 individuals, they have nothing to lose it thier job. The person at loss is u. to be honest caling them all the way in nigeria. Who is getting the fone bills. U only ocupy a few minutes of their day.
They give me us numbers i give to my friends and we all call. i also leave them voice mails they need to listen to al of them if they want to make money. I also offer to mail them computers in place of money and mail rocks or pictchers of my butt cod to them taking them for 63.000.00 dollars in shiping does take from them. not all of them make that much money most only get a small cut of that and i waste houres of there days i have pissed them off so bad there bosses get on the phone
i hate these bastard scammers, honeslty they steal people money and that person is anticapting a parcel. not only does it waste your time but it get your hopes up for no reason, i brought smething recently so i dont know whether this person is scamming me god willing ther not, anyway they havnt givin me confirmation saying they sent the product, im i being hasty or have i been done:) :(
cheers mate, spoke to the seller on the phone, there are frm uk as am i, hope that its just slow post even thought it was supposed to be next day delivery (dnt knw if u have that in us), i sent it to her bank so hpefuly i should be able to get the money back should it be a fraud (god forbid). I cant belive you get frauds from UK tut tut, that was a realy big shock.
As long as you have a reference number of some sort, you should be okay.
One important thing, Paperwork! Keep all paperwork of these private sellers until you receive the article, then still hold onto the paperwork on file somewhere (just in case).
yeah hopefully it should be okay. ive sent you my email address, not trying it on with you lol before you start thinking lol. keep in touch mate. ill tell you how goes hopefull good news
@mqasim7866 yo say that shit to my face people like you is the reason why African screwed ya dumbass. King Leopold, scams are scams fool, you the nigga. Go to any hood in America with that demeanor and I bet you get dealt with
Hey u are kinda funny... 3:25 u got it all screwed up. But on a serious note now that Nigerian scam is well known it should be difficult for people to be duped.
Just let the scammer pay big bucks to send you the check cause Iam sure it will cost at least 30 or 40 dollars to send an overnight envelope, then tell the scammer that you send the money...keep his ass running back to the western union office..maybe then if we all scam them, this will stop. The govt does nothing to help stop the problem. Watch yourselves. Dont become a victim. Especially have to watch your elderly/aged naieve prents,grandparents, cause that is really who these losers target
Funny, I got the same type of scam run on me. Since Iam already educated about this kind of thing, I did nothing. I did however make the guy PAY for the overnight Fed Ex to send the fake check to me(costs like 40 bucks), then he kept buggin me to cash it. I was toying with him and never cashed the check. I notified the company and bank that the fake check was drawn from. then I kept telling the scammer to go to Western Union cause i "sent the money"..over and over again..i had fun with it.
I encountered a form of this fraud on Facebook. I logged in to see "myself," telling people that I'm stuck in London/robbed and for them to send me $700 Western Union to get back home. I'm not going to condemn an entire country, but these scammers need to die in a fire.
sorry but i did not mean it. 386bigDee was the one that said that to me. im not greedy. its not my fault people have the guts to scam people and not care.
It's all good. These things happen. Too bad it happened to you. The scammers give people hope- and these are people who may be at a hard time in their life (financially).
they want you to send a part of the money via Western Union to Nigeria. They want you to cash the check. Usually the victim will deposit the check into their bank account, withdrawal the money and send it. Of course the check turns out to be fake and the money is already gone and the bank demands to be paid back so you're stuck holding the bag, and most likely thousands of dollars poorer
Yeah I received a check for like 4800 from a secret shopper. I had signed up for one in the past so wasn't sure and was very naive to the fraud check scam. I was suspicious so I decided to test it, I deposited the check but didn't take out any money just to see what happens and sure enough a few days letter, the money was taken out, that was a few years back and my bank still treats me okay. I think if I had taken the money out, if woulda been a different story lol
That's a fair bit of cash. The big losers are the ones that get in the hole for stupid amounts. There is a lady that sunk $400,000 into nigerian scam. Check it out by seaching nigerian scam stories on youtube.
i had the same thing ...i knew the cheque was fake...took it to a bank to verify that it was, then handed it over to the local police, including all of the emails back and forth...i had a little fun with the scammer...i let him believe that i was falling for it...when he realized i was on to him, he put a strange african voodo type curse on me
that was 3 years ago...i'm still alive and in excellent health and unlike him i am honest and don't hang out at internet cafes sendig emails all day
I was scamed by a so called company named "Jayskyl Bay". For anyone out there DO NOT BELIEVE THIS COMPANYY. IT'S JUST A BLOG IN MANY WEBSITES . The person or man is the so called MR. FISHER ZIEGE. This is a scammer working in the UK and Nigeria.A another man to avoid is the so called head custom agents that has our package "Mr. FASH YALE GARETH".
They offer top of the line electronics,cellphones,game consoles,digital cameras,etc.
I get like 5-6 emails like this in a week, good thing is that my spam filter catches 90% of them. When I was trying to sell my camera or mobile phone, amongst local buyers there were always some strangers from England, Canada and of course Nigeria, all of them were fake. I actually played along and told them wrong information and stuff, it was fun. I never were a victim, yay! :D
I just made the same experience as you exept that they wanted to buy my art.. and guess what, I got a cheque from South London too... that might be their location... Anyway did the same than you. Went to the police and my bank :-) So people out there dont cash anything which comes from strangers.. do it via your bank. If you give them your IBAN and SWIFT code, they cant rob your account.
I let scammers send me fake checks all the time. Then I tell them I wired the difference but give them "wrong" M.T.C.N. I run a CL ad in Denver, Austin and S.C. for guitar lessons. They email me in poor grammar and are incapable of following the instructions in my CL ad. "Serious Inquiries Only" doesn't mean there's a choice that you can reply to my ad without starting guitar lessons. So I lead them around with Western Union/Moneygram promises. Finally I curse them and remind "Serious Only".
they try to scam me, to send them my ps3 and send them the tracking number then i will recive the payment... the only thing i will send to nigeria is a ups box full of shit
Anybody should be able to see this is a fake check. The routing and account numbers are not even written on the check itself. Am glad more people are being exposed to the tricks of scammers
oh wow. my friend got the same kind of check for 2,000. & he was so tempted to cash that check. he didnt believe me, so i told him to talk to his bank about it. so he did, the bank said can we have a copy of this check, he said keep it. haha. i told him so(:
Actually Strand London WC2 is a legitimate London area and postal code. This is not to say that it wasn't a scam, just to point out that it wasn't South African.
I got one of those Emails and I had alot of fun scamming the scammers they never cought on that I knew

Now, if this scam originated in Canada or U.S.A. it would rightfully be called Canadian or American Scam.

I don't think is greed, it's just that American's are too nice and giving people, is why some do fall for it, and you got to realice that they are Voo-doo practisioners, and I do belive in that stuff but sooner or later it will reverse on anyone who practice it! I meet some guy on line last year, and the mother fucker wanted me so send him Via Western-Union $20,000.00 (20K), in three paymnets, so I fool him I said I would and turn him to the F.B.I. mean time I kkeped him going. LOLOLO.

@dahlia007ification : Why people think American's are generous ? They gave things out for something in return or claimed it back on income tax. I still repeat it, only greedy will fall into this 419 scam. This has been going on for long as i can remember in the late 80's before internet exposed it to the world. Internet make it easy to target individual but back then, it was big corporations that fell in the trap. Accepting offer to help someone lifting money illegal is greedy.

Only greedy people will fall in this kind of scam. Nigerian is just a scape goat for this type of crime, shit happen all over the world. Eastern Europe such as Russia, Ukraine, Poland , Bulgaria are all doing the same thing even credit card and phone companies do the same advance fee fraud (AFF). What do you think your credit card or phone company try to do when you received $10 check from them? If you cashed it, you already authorize them to charge you for some kind of monthly service.

It is a scam but don't judge it by the address. I am sure that there are many people that live at 123 Something Street and The Strand IS a street in the City of Westminster, London, England. It starts at Trafalgar Square and runs east to join Fleet Street at Temple Bar, which marks the boundary of the City of London.

You lodge the check, they ask you to send back a small amount. The bank says it is cleared but a couple of weeks later is bounces and you are out the amount you sent them back. I know it looks legit. They usually use genuine looking bank drafts that fool your bank into cashing them.

Just let the scammer pay big bucks to send you the check cause Iam sure it will cost at least 30 or 40 dollars to send an overnight envelope, then tell the scammer that you send the money...keep his ass running back to the western union office..maybe then if we all scam them, this will stop.

I notified the company and bank that the fake check was drawn from. then I kept telling the scammer to go to Western Union cause i "sent the money"..over and over again..i had fun with it.

they want you to send a part of the money via Western Union to Nigeria. They want you to cash the check. Usually the victim will deposit the check into their bank account, withdrawal the money and send it. Of course the check turns out to be fake and the money is already gone and the bank demands to be paid back so you're stuck holding the bag, and most likely thousands of dollars poorer

I was suspicious so I decided to test it, I deposited the check but didn't take out any money just to see what happens and sure enough a few days letter, the money was taken out, that was a few years back and my bank still treats me okay. I think if I had taken the money out, if woulda been a different story lol
