"Hello, I'm Mrs Andie from USA.I fortunately came across your Item placed on Craig list very attractive i was referred to Craig list by a friend of my and I'm really interested in buying your item for my Daughter who is on vacation with her Dad,she work for the American embassy in one of the West African Countries,i am buying it for her as a Birthday gift and it is urgently needed,i will be paying via PayPal as its fast and secure payment or through MoneyGram MoneyOrder,get back to me with your PayPal email and the shipping cost Via US Postal Service Parcel Post (Express Mail Service 3-5 Working Days.EMS).I will offer u ($500) for the two item i will look forward for your quick response so that i can make your payment fast as you know that the items needed urgently."

"she work for the American embassy in one of the West African Countries"

- Nigerian scam .. do not sell! - " PayPal as its fast and secure payment" - Noob statement much?

$500 is also way too much and no one in there right mind would pay that much.. not to mention why would he want 2 for his daughter? (Who needs two)

Anything to do with Nigerians or Africans or anyone residing/visiting in Africa is a scam.

If you are selling on craigslist, read their scam post about types of scams, but this is so obvious you shouldnt of even asked

yeah it sounds like a scam, I am not sure how but im pretty sure its going to be a stolen CC and stolen paypal and your going to get charged back. No normal person would type it out like that distracting you with dumb info you don't need at least not to that extreme.

Daniel · 06-30-2008, 12:17 AM

I remember someone from Nigeria tried to scam me. I got a fake transition email saying the money was sent but won't be released to me until the buyer received item. The shipping location was in Nigeria and paypal payment are instant so it was obvious.

unreal · 06-30-2008, 12:32 AM

try to bait the person on if you can with a disposable email. It's lots of fun to mess with the scammers, look at http://www.419eater.com/ and you can see how to successfully scam a scammer.

If you do it, funnel it through a couple Paypals and then bid on a 1 day auction with a fake ebay account then close everything.
