So please, as soon as you receive the check, go and cash them immediately, deduct the money that accrues to you, and send the balance to the Head Office of the company that handles the shipment via the nearest WesternUnion agent in your area.Deduct the Western Union charges from the balance and send the remaining immediately . The check will be in your name to make it easier for you to receive payment, deduct your money and send the balance via Western Union as regards my earlier direction, please reconfirm your details one more time. I will give you the details of the Agent that you will send the balance of the money to once I get a reply and agreement that you will send the money via Western Union money transfer immediately you cash the check.Once the money is received by the agent, the shipping agent willcontact you immediately to arrange the documentation as well as the pick up immediately.

They never give up. Did it come from someone in the U.K.?
I received the same type of offer on a condo I have for rent. I just politely told them to go intercourse themselves. |
I received an email thru OSO yesterday asking to buy my business. I kindly told them where to go

You guys are going about "getting "them all wrong. I use to get this crap all the time, but now only once in a while. I guess they tell each other of the experiences they have dealing with people. What you really need to do is "PLAY" them...and I mean milk it for all its worth. Make up several stupid questions, but only one question per email all the while getting their confidence up that you have bought their bull****. Now the really fun part is...if you are computer savy...go on the hunt and trace the emails. Some say that it cant be done...wanna bet? It takes work and know how but eventually you can get their IP address...and in some cases you can also get a physical address...then its GAME ON. But if you dont know how to go about getting someones IP addy...just lead the scamer to the trouth and let him drink...while you sit back and have a good laugh.
