Hi Laurie , Thanks for the mail, getting back to you was a bit late because of church programmes. Anyway,how was your day? Mine was splendid! having read your mail, I contacted my client who told me its takes just 24hrs for a cashier's check to clear the bank in the US. so, he'll issue a check in your full name while you send the detail information .Meanwhile, my client is owing me some money I've just instructed him to include $3,000 on the payment, so, you should be expecting check of $4,400 while you wire back the balance to me via western union as soon as the check clears the bank. I hope i can count on you for the balance as I'll use it for settling shipping agency and other custom problems, while the shipper will come to pick the bike without giving you any stress. I hope to hear from you while you send me the detail information on how the check will get to you. Regards dammy We received this letter from a Cat Breeder: Below is a similar case to note on your site about it happening to cat breeders also. A friend of mine received the counterfeit check this morning., 2-3-03: I have been communicating with someone about purchasing a Ragdoll breeding pair to be exported outside the US. This case is a SCAM. The email address of the crook is cattrader@consultant.com , with the name Mark Johnson. So if anyone gets correspondence from this email address, please do not reply. I am in communication with the US Secret Service about this matter, being referred to them by my local FBI office. Here is the scenario so that nobody gets "ripped off". I have not sent any cats to him, just in case want to know. So I'm not out anything but my time. The FBI told me that they have a joint task force with the US Secret Service set up just for fraud cases from Nigeria. Here's what happened. Contacted by someone looking for breeding cats to be exported. A few communications later, I'm notified they are to be exported to Nigeria. Writer claims a "creditor" owes him money, and this is the party that wants the breeding cats. He is acting on their behalf.. Writer then claims the interested party will only write one cashiers check. He wants to know if I will send him the balance "over " the amount quoted for the cats so that he can recoup his money from this person. |
