From where did the email originate?
Also, just provide her with the link, and explain that everything is listed on the website. Then, if she still doesn't get it, what harm would it do to provide her with the details? |

Ask her to send nude photos of herself as a good faith measure.

He/She may want to send you a (forged) money order that is way over the amount you are asking for the truck and will then ask you to send them the difference.
They are hoping you will deposit the MO, wire them their funds, and they will have the money before the bank notifies you of the forged money order. Go ahead and go through with it up to the point you receive the money order. Then give the m.o. and any bank/contact info you have to the federales. -Nuke |

thanks for your mail.I want the three,the price of the three should be 1)$250,2)300 and 3)550 which equals to$1100 is ok with me like wise the condition.i will make shipping arrangement with my local shipping agency.Now i will contact a client of mine in the state and tell him to issue you a check of $6,850 and i will count on you to send back the balance to my shipper via MONEY GRAM MONEY TRANSFER so they can come over to your place and pick up the truck from your location.I know you will wonder why am sending you that much,i would have love you take of the shipping and send the total amount to you but due to clearing of the truck from the west african customs will be difficult for the both of us,especially you bcos of the language both not to bother the shipper will take care of the whole thing. so i want you to give me the following info so i can forward them to my client and make him prepare the payment...The ! exact name you want on the check,your mailing address and your contact phone #.i will be looking foward to hear from you asap. i emailed "her" back with links to the trucks. this is "her" email back to me today.i knew it was a scam. this is exactly the way i heard it would happen. my wife called the sheriffs office to tell them. they said they'd call back, still haven't heard from them though. i haven't emailed "her" back yet. what should i say if i do? i sure as hell am not going to give them my name or home address. |

My job is working and communicating with people from all over the world.
From her typing, I pick up a Russian or old soviet Bloc country accent. Be cautious, but she just may not speak English very well and needs a truck. |

Quoted: Ask her to send nude photos of herself as a good faith measure. Great idea genius. If you arent going to sell the trucks to africa just tell her that. The scam you were hearing about was the "Nigerian Banker" thing. If she is really interested you should ask for a Credit Card purchase, you cant fool VISA. |

It's a scam. I read about it somewhere, but can't find the link now. NUCULAR has it exactly right.

Kooter,
My advice, tell her the deal is on. Search the web and find a link to a website that explains the scam. Email all your emails to and from her along with the link to yahoo, and let them know what she is trying to pull. Make sure that you give her a PO Box, or some other non-residential address. Tell her that her friends that are going to pick up the trucks need to contact you via phone. Give them a cell not a home #. When you set up when and where to meet them, have the cops there with you. Also, hold the MO until the bank checks it out thourghly. Yahoo, will shut down her email. Cops will arrest her state side partners. Too bad you won't be able to contact her when it is over and say!!! FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!!!!! My 2 cents. |
