SCAMMER on gassavers.org

VX

These Nigerians are infiltrating every corner of the internet now, not just craigslist. This is the first time I've gotten a PM from a scammer. Wow.

He messaged me under the username "relly" and he has 0 posts.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello

I am interested in buying the VX that you have placed for sell now, and I would want to enquire about the present condition of the above mentioned, as well as some detail about you. I expect this timely enough.

As for the payment, I would need you to get back in touch with the last asking price as I will be paying with a certified cheque.

Lastly, please forward to me your full company's (or house address, telephone and fax) details as I will subsequently prefer reaching you through these facilities.

Yours interestingly,

Raymond Griffiths


Should you need to reply to me, Please get back in touch with your
details to me at:tex000144@yahoo.com.co for a quick reply.





WATCH OUT FOR SCAMMERS! THEY'RE IN OUR OWN BACKYARD NOW.

I've seen Nigerian spam in posts, but not in a PM. That member and their IP should be banned immediately.

I googled him. Surely it wasn't this guy- http://www.raymondgriffiths.co.uk/

Did he ask if it was right hand drive?

Doesn't sound like it...it seems this person has done some rather interesting things to the Queen's English...

Yeah- I knew it was a fake name- I just wanted to see if there was anyone on the web with that name.

I've played along with one of those before. I mailed him a box with bricks using his shipping label and I kept asking where my check is and it never came. Then, I got this e-mail from him saying I was going to prison for fraud and such and I asked once again "Where is my check?"

Never heard from him again.
