Hello Michael,
Thanks for your immadiate response, actually I have really been looking for it, and when I saw your advert I was hoping you will still have the 82 Z28 Camaro SST/SG Stick car!! Street Legal . Asking price is okay, but presently I am off the shores of Scotland where I work as a contractor overseas. I will have to instruct my colleague in my hometown state to send you an International Money Order since that is the only means of payment I can offer now due to my present location. Please send me your address, fullname and telephone number so that I can instruct my colleague to send you the check to enable me get it on time. Do not worry about the shipping I will handle it myself. Reply me asap.
Thanks,
Celestine.
Do not hesitate to call my mobile cell phone +447031903891,I will be looking forward to reading from you asap


Well??? What do you think??

[Smartin]

Call her...

Definitely has a stench to it, but I think we've seen so many of them lately, we think they're ALL scams.

:PUZ: sure sounds fishy to me:PUZ:

[David G]

I don't think there's any doubt that it is a scam. A common theme in the emails is that they ask you for information that is already stated in your listing. This one is very transparent, I'm surprised anyone falls for these things. I get a kick out of how they copy this word for word in both emails: "....82 Z28 Camaro SST/SG Stick car!! Street Legal..."

[Mike Atwood]

Next, she will say that she is sending extra money for the shippers and you will need to send her back some of it........... BAM! :BLAST:

[MichaelGarrison]

hahahahaha look who signed it!!! N.B. hahahahahaha he cant even remember who it is he is!!! :DOU: ok time to start forwarding on these to the KBI :SPANK: And what does England have to do with Africa ?? He must think Im uninformed!!!



Hi Michael,
Thanks for your reply. i will now instruct my colleague to send the check to you immediately. I just spoke with my shipping company on phone and they advised that I send there shippingcharges together with your payment in the check I send to you. Because if I send them a seperate check it would take about 30 working days to clear the check in Africa while it takes only 5 working days for the check to be cleared in the United States. So I would have to instruct my colleague to send you a check of $21,000. Then you will deduct $15,000 for the payment, send the balance back to my shipping company in other for them to come over to the USA for the pick up from your house and other items which they are suppose to ship from my house in STATES. Please I would need you to do me this favour to avoid any delay. I will be compesating you with $20 after the transaction,so you will have to deduct the total of $15020 after the check might've cleared in your bank.Thanks for your understanding.
Kind regards,
N.b,
The reason why the shipping cost is very high is that my shippers would also be shipping some goods for me from India to my house in the states, so far i'm presently in scotland i can't make payment to him, so i decided you help me do it.

DEAR BElOVED ,


PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.


I am the above named person from BAHAMAS. I am married to Dr.RICHARD DONALD, who worked with SHELL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION in GHANA for nine years before he died in the year 2001. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians.Since hisdeath I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $7.5 Million (seven Million five hundred thousand U.S.Dollars) with a SECURITY COMPANY in Europe.Presently, this money is still under the safekeeping of the Reserve SECURITYCOMPANY Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next SEVEN months due to my cancer problems.

Though what disturbs me most is my stroke .Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a christian individual That will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct here in. I want a church that will use this fund on, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relativesare not Christians and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and moreover I am doing this to make sure that nobody knows about this as it is a personal decision. I don't want even my maids to know about this development.With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I forward your personal information to the security company in europe so that they will contact you as the legal owner of this fund before transfering the fund into your nominated Bank Account in your country.

I will also issue you a letter of a uthority that will empower you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you as soon as possible.email to my lawyer mr richard. reply to this email address; issabeldonald@yahoo.com

Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.

Yours in Christ,

MRS ISABELLA ELLIS

how's this for strange???

[Mister T]

I've gotten that one, and others like it, several times as well.

They all seem to tell the same basic story, yet fools keep taking the bait. If only my fishing expiditions were so fruitful. (the real fish with line and hook type angling :LAUGH: )

[Smartin]

I guess that answers THAT question! These guys need another story. The only problem is, people are falling for it!!

[BignastyGS]

I feel so obligated to help....My step-sisters 1/2 brothers,cousins uncle is dying of lymphomatic aerial distress syndrome(aka no money) and needs some assistance to bury his twin sisters father in a vet cemetary and all donatins can be tax deducted from a swiss bank account for tax exempt purposes. If you can't send the money to the account,just forward it to Big Vito.He will make sure you get a improper receipt.
p.s we take Buicks too..

[Buick64203]

You guys should do what I do....send them links to porn sites :LAUGH: Funny, I never hear back from them after that....

When you have an hour or so, check out www.thescambaiter.com , and read up on "Anus Laptops". :ROLL: http://www.thescambaiter.com/FORUM/showthread.php?t=109

Basically, he scammed the scammer into paying over $30K in shipping to DHL for several boxes of junk.

And now the same Nigerian scammer is on the hook for another couple of thousand dollars in shipping...
