Thread: Moneygram/Western Union scammers

Scammers and spammers are scanning the forums for people to rip off.

I made a post looking for various parts I need and listed an email address. This douchebag responded:

"Please let me know if you still need item/parts as listed in your ad. Also
advise what else you might need. What's your phone#?"

2nd response:
"I have '05'-'06 parts in stock for sale. I have the requested parts in
stock for sale. I am asking a 200GBP for the top center bin, 05-06
shifter boot with ring and passenger sunvisor. The price includes
shipping via UPS on a 5 days delivery and payment will be accepted via
Western Union or Money gram. What's your complete shipping address?"

Obviously scammers. Reporting to gmail and sending a fun message.

EDIT: My bad. apparently it was b15sentra's forums.

oh whew... still good info to aware people on the forum though.

Wish I had read this last yr 3000 out the door for this very thing

On this forum?

come on, people should know that if one request western union or money gram, itll be a scam of some sort.

if people do decide to purchase using that kind of transaction, you deserve getting scammed. sounds eff'd up, but its truth.

It's amazing how people justify these things when faced with saving money.

Greed will only make you lose money in the end.

Reminds me of this:

FROM THE DESK OF MR COLE JOSEPH
47 HILTON AVENUE,
VICTORIAL ISLAND,
LAGOS NIGERIA.

Dear Friend,

I am a director in the foreign affairs department of the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). I got your email during a
personal research on the Internet and wish to use this opportunity to
notify you of the existence of a certain amount we wish to transfer
overseas for the purpose of investments and importation of goods from
your country.

In May 2001, a contract of sixty-six million United States dollars
($66,000,000) was awarded to a foreign company by my ministry. The
contract was supply, erection and system optimization of supper polyore
200,000-bpsd, system optimization of 280,000-monax axial plants and the
computerization of conveyor belt for Kaduna refinery. With only the
consent of the head of the contract evaluation department, I over
invoiced the contract value by thirty four million United States dollars
($34,000,000).

The contract has been completed long ago and the foreign company fully
paid off. But in the office files and paper work, the company is still
owed USD34M representing the over invoiced amount. Because this amount
is derived from the award and execution of a foreign contract, there is
no way the money can be paid locally. That is why I contacted you so
that we can do the project together for our mutual benefit. We have
concluded every necessary arrangement to transfer this amount to a
foreign account as the final phase payment for the said contract. What
we need is your bank account into which we can deposit the money and
after we shall come over there to share the money with you.

We sincerely need an honest person to work with and have agreed to share
the money in the following percentages, 70% will be for us who will
effect the transfer and 30% will be for you whose account is used to
secure the funds. There is no risk involvement because applications
will be made to the concerned Federal ministries and parastatal with
official approvals given by the Federal government before the Central
bank of Nigeria will be officially empowered to wire the funds to your
account by telegraphic transfer.

If you are interested, contact me by Email through osmund@2by2.net
indicating your full names or company name and address. Your direct
telephone and fax numbers. The name and address of the bank you will
like us to deposit the money, the telephone and fax numbers of the bank,
your account number etc. Everything has been arranged and I will send
more information about the business transaction to you as soon as I hear
from you. For obvious reasons, please keep the proposal top secret and
highly confidential.

Kind regards,
Cole

That's the saddest excuse for a story I have ever seen

If you do make sure its not as "gift" at least you'll have some chance to dispute it, otherwise your SOL.

In person, live, cash on hand is best, but you still run the risk of getting jumped, stabbed, shot, run over, choked, body slammed... etc lol Im kidding.

I tried to buy a 2004 Acura TL from a lady on craigslist for $4,250. She said she got it in a divorce settlement. I said, "ok great!! When can I come look at it?? I'll bring cash.". She says, oh that won't be necessary, I have a delivery service that will bring it to you upon payment.

Lmao ok 1. Pay for it and have it delivered??? Ha! No thanks.
2. Buy a car before I see it especially not having driven it?? Fuck off scammer!!!

If you call them dirty Nigerian cunts, they don't like that. Ask me how I know

How do you know?

I tried to buy a Supra LMAO.

Every single city that he claimed the Supra was in, I had ties in. Finally he said it was in London... BIG MISTAKE LMAO.

"Perfect, I have friends about two miles from where you said. Just to let you know, I never wanted to buy anything from you, I always knew you were a dirty nigerian cunt! How does it feel to know that I have wasted your time? I hope I saved some innocent people from being ripped off. I hope you die, go fuck yourselff"

His response.... oh man I wish I could remember exact;y what he said... but it as funny as hell. It was something along the lines of "Fuck you you white bitch" hahahahahahaha.

Rofl white bitch. Kill whitey!!

You know they actually have some faggot jungle tunes about the 419 scammers, right?

This shit is like a culture. Ripping off 'rich white people' in Europe and the US is perfectly normal.
