Can ya float me ten bucks, my brother?

I get stuff like this all of the time. The first one I got was years ago when it wasn't happening so much. I decided to play along, cautiously. I spoke with them on the phone, was FedEx'd a package with paperwork and a check for around $1500. I was told to cash that check and send in the $ to cover "taxes" and what not. I took the check to my bank and they said it looked legit. They ran it through the little check machine and everything. I talked to the manager before proceeding with the deposit and she assured me I would not be held responsible if the check was bunk so long as I did not pill out any $ from it. So I deposited the check and waited for it to clear. A few days later I got a notice from BofA that the check was bunk and I was forced to pay some fee's for their troubles. Sucked, but everything seemed so legit! Good thing I was cautious.

Did you pay the fees?

[aich75013]

You're so lucky.
I used to get mail all the time from the Nigerian Prince, but now all I get is pharmaceutical offers.

I paid the fees to BofA for the bogus check. I think it was like $50 or something of the sort. I paid nothing to the people that sent the check though. That would have been a major error on my part.

This scam has been around the block for years

http://purportal.com/spam/2492/

the best thing are the craigslist scams. when you sell an item sometimes you are contacted by a nigerian who will send you a check for thousands of dollars more than people are asking for and you are supposed to send them a check for the difference. My roomates and I make a game out of messing with these people. We currently have a check written out to Mike Hunt (say mike hunt fast if you dont get it) for 2500. The best thing is when you are apprehensive with these people and ask to talk to them on the phone and then just mess with them even more. They get sooooo aggravated.

Noting the grammar and spelling in that account; anyone who would actually fall for this is a moron and probably has a cumulative family IQ of 85.

It's interesting to see where these come from. Mine had a .cz suffix-Czech Republic; Tom's is .sk- Slovak Republic. Vely intelesting. These countries have absoluetly NOTHING to do with the messages sent- a quick way to know they're bogus-- as if you didn't know already!

Nah Hugh, you got it all wrong.

That is where they keep all the money. I mean, come on, who would ever think to look in a broke ass former Soviet Republic?
