The creative way of defraud
I m selling my old car at the moment on mobile.de&autoscout24.de ( car-internet-markets in germany) and get some mails by interested people. Sometimes people just try to tell me that they ll buy the car if i send money to their account...
But this one was such a funny story(some had spend time...) that i thought, i should share it: Quote:

I have a friend who was selling a horse, some poeple in madrid wanted to buy it, sent him cashiers checks... he deposited them. The the people called back and got my friends wife on the phone, said there was a medical emercency and they needed the money back, and to wire it. They even let them keep a percentage for their trouble.
Well, my friends wife wired him the money since it was such an emergency, and then a few days later they get a notice from the bank that the cashiers checks were fake... and the money was taken back out, since they had enough in their account still to cover it. failure. |

Yeah, same thing happened to me. I was selling some tickets on craigslist when I received an email sounding like the one the OP received. Two tickets for $300. Well this "guy" emails me. Anyways, I give him my address and a couple days later receive a cashiers check....for $5000. I told him I'd call the police if he ever tried to contact me again.
Are these people actually in/from nigeria or is it just the name of the scheme?
