Nigerian scam on a whole notha level
 
HNL yo! mad tv style

http://img.youtube.com/vi/Nfi33bdepuE/0.jpg




got this in the mail the other month was gonna post but put it away and thought i lost it, cleaning out my drawers today found it, literally scared of even touching the letter who knows where it came from and what kind of chemicals or germs could be on the paper.
i guess there's still hard working scammers out there who will go the extra mile and actually mail you a fcking letter instead of doing the typical email scam.
this looks to be a scam setup in england, i actually saw a news clip few years back about these office setups where they have dozens of african immigrants working in parts of london doing these types of scam all day long, it's crazy

i resized the pics to 1600x1200 but they might still show up large, photobucket lags

Tell her you shipped the phone directly to her daughter, her daugher has recieved the phone and that you got an nice email from her thanking you.

Then you can write a fake email being Mrs. Diane's daughter and tell the world what a whore you are. :fullofwin:

orange7 03-06-2011 03:36 PM

tell her that you're helping someone import a $40k LFA from the state and that you will send her the tracking details later.

and might as well ask her if she wants you to help her buy one too.

Sorry to thread jack op!

yea craigs list been plagued lately with a bunch of these types of scams, i remember when i started using cl heavily few years back would never get scam offers, now every time i put an ad up i get at least 1 its crazy.

but nothing beats literally getting a letter delivered to your house, i wanna write back and give the scammer props, A+ for effort budday :haha:

Vansterdam 03-06-2011 04:29 PM

lol

craigslist i seem to always get scammer emails when i sell electronic items

LiquidTurbo 03-06-2011 05:07 PM

So any idea where these scammers operate from? Their english is always terrible like that, the exact same grammar style..

Nowaways anytime i get a

"Is your ITEM for sale" without any explicit reference to the item for sale, I just immediately delete the email...

u'd think they learn proper Eng first.

BNR32_Coupe 03-06-2011 07:35 PM

i bet like 0.1% of the people they contact actually respond to it. there's a lot of naive people out there who live in caves and have inherited shit loads of cash from their less naive family

G-spec 03-06-2011 08:51 PM

whats fcked up is, enough people respond and fall for this shit for these scammers to continue doing this.
i mean if the shit didnt work, obviously they wouldnt waste their time with it.

i really dont know whether to feel sorry for the people who fall for it, or just think they deserve it because you would have to be an idiot to actually believe it.
but i would have to excuse the elderly out of this equation for obvious reasons
