Nigerians at it again, on craigslist....fuckers.
 

My guess is they send you a check, request the wire as soon as you deposit it & the poor assholes get stuck with a bad check?


Hello,
My name is Frank Robinson.I am in my early age of 50s and I am an european . I come to the states often mostly for business purposes because I deal mostly in Furniture. I furniture to stores in the states and europe . Infact that is my family business coswe are from UNITED KINGDOM. I bought a house last year in the states cos i love it there .It is peaceful and with a loving neighbourhood.
Unfortunately my Father passed away on the 7th of April 2007 and as the only son in my family i have to go and take care of the family business back in UK and i realised that it will be very difficult to supply goods to my clients again in the United states while am away and it will definitely cost me alot to come over to receive payments cos they pay mostly in checks and money orders . Running the business from there it will be difficult and will be impossible especially the aspect of payment and i dont also want to lose my clients or customers there . So what i intend doing is that i am looking for some one to stay at my house free of charge. I dont want to sell the house cos i just bought it and i will have all the rest papers by August but i have ALL the keys now. I am simply looking for someone that is honest and trustworthy and clean for two reasons:
1. to maintain the house when i am away
2.To help me receive payments from my clients within the USA on my behalf in his/her name and have it cashed cos they pay mostly checks and money orders and have the funds wired to me here in UK thru money gram transfer/western union transfer . You dont have to pay me for the accommodation. its just for the purpose of keeping my business going on in the United state.and if you wanna keep this assignment as a job let me know so i can allocate 10% on each payment that you receive if at all you dont wanna live in the house or if you are far from the house.
The house is a great one,living room,bedrooms,bathroom,parking space e.tc furnished as well . If you want i can email you more pictures and if you are interested i will send the keys to you via courier so you can go and see the house. It is a very lovely house and there is no way you wont like it.
If you are interested in handling my business in the state and keeping the house neat, please send me your full name and address with your phone numberand also for me to be able to no how far the place is from your present location.You can contact me at [email protected] and you can also get intouch with me on this phone number which +00-000-000-0000..

Thanks
Frank Robinson ..


Block Nigeria from the web someone.....please

If they put some of that ingenuity into something legit they would make a killing....

they ARE making a killing

No shit!!:thumbsup
They got the marketing down.

Seems like a spam lol.

They'll keep at it until we nuke the country!

I heard these asses were hitting ebay really hard...Can they be stopped? And can we do anything?

cant really stop them....they will always find a away to scam people online...

I agree with g$$$

Just glad you weren't sending WesternUnions to get hookers to show up again... :pimp

Or they'll keep it up until Darwin's theory of evolution starts to reapply itself to the human population.

there are still more American, Russian and European scammers then Nigerians.

We still have Spyware and Trojan driven programs represented here on GFY and most of you still call them "top notch"

People who are dumb enough to get scammed by these Nigerian fools deserve what they get.

nahhh...why would i need hookers now, i got cheetah's right up the street from my new pad :winkwink:

but I'd thank you not to bring up that incident again :pimp

I agree...

in the past 2 weeks or so, they invaded the cars section of every city on craigslist. just look in your city on craigslist in the car section and look for cars that are unusually low priced. they pulled this shit all over ebay and now they are ruining craigslist. :(

Nice to know Frank Robinson's found a job since the Nats fired him after last season... ;-)

Sure it's a Nigerian scam, exactly that, they sen you a check that looks like for real, just that it's a fake, and in the en you'll cash no money, but it takes a bit until the bank calls you for that, that it's a fake, and in the meanwhile if you send them money via western union or money gram, bye bye money, it's gone for good. Any advance payment or wire payment against check payment, is lost money for you.
Another thing they try is to tell you they want to purchase goods from your online site, by check, they need a proforma invoice, and if you send them that, they will fake it in the future to steal your identity to scam other people. Of course, you'll never ever see any money from them, maybe just another fake check.
