(Okay kids, here's another famous Nigerian scam and the way it works is if you have an item to sell, and you post it on the inernet the Nigerian scammer will email you as if he is interested. He will then ask if he can send payment in the form of a very good fake cashiers check way over the asking price. A friend who was trying to sell a computer on-line received an email he thought sounded odd so he brought it to me to see what I thought. I knew it was a scam and told him to let me go after the prick. Read along and see how I deal with this asshole.)

****THIS IS AN AUTO RESPONSE*****
Dear Family and friends,
Well, I finally did it, I sold everything and moved to
Las Vegas. Sin city yeah baby. I moved in with Romeo.
I know nobody thought I would do it but I did.
Midget Dave, I am sorry to tell you this but size does
matter.
Frank, you are a shit.
Carol, I'm sorry but I sold the laptop computer.
Kenneth Lay will be in charge of the entire operations
of got mike industries until we move it to Las Vegas.
I will then resume my CEO roll to expand got mike
industries into third world countries. You know our
motto, "If there's money to steal we want to steal
it."
My new address is:
Luv ya,
Susie
****THIS IS AN AUTO RESPONSE****
(Time to let him know he's the luckiest scammer in the world)
Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2004 11:19:32 -0800 (PST)
Hi, and sorry I didn't get back to you but I think I
did tell you I was moving. I wasn't there to get the
check and don't know who signed for it but I left a
forwarding address and they sent it to me.
Now here's the real exciting news. I deposited the
check into my savings and withdrew the $4100.00 to
send back to you when my boyfriend Romeo talked me
into playing a slot machine we used up around $2,000
dollars and then WHAM! WE HIT IT BIG. YES, $400,000.
I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING EXCITED I THINK I AM HAVING
AN ORGASM!!!!!!
I am sorry for using your money and for doing this I'd
like to give you 10% of my winnings as it was really
your money. So I am sending you $40,000, but I
probably won't be able to send it until Tuesday or
Wednesday so I hope that is alright.
I'll send the money through Western Union so what bank
do you want me to send it to?
Susie
(Here they are Romeo and Julia and look how happy they are. I intentionally made the got mike look sloppy. I got a bigger laugh out of it this way.)
(For some reason he stopped emailing me. Perhaps he thought I'd know by now that the check was no good. Or he didn't have any money to pay for computer time at the internet Cafe. Let's see if I can bait him back.)
Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2004 12:05:10 -0800 (PST)
Dear lame brain, I need to know what bank you want me
to send the money to. I need to get this done as I
have a business to move to Vegas and don't have time
for this.
Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2004 01:52:53 -0800 (PST)
You will make it payable to my personal asistance via western union money transfer to
I am aware of the charges at the western union,plz you can deduct it from the balance.
(Okay, let's see if we can get this dude to run all over Nigeria)
Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2004 10:51:56 -0800 (PST)
Dear Mr. lame brain, I'm sorry but Western Union will
not transfer $40,000 so I had to send it in $5,000
increments. A bit of a hassle but I did get it all
sent. I used the same test question at each bank to
make it easier for you. Also, I had to go to 8
different Western Union branches to send the money as
they would not allow me to send more than $5,000 in a
single day. Did you know this because I didn't. If you
did know this you should have told me. I wasted a lot
of time.
Here's all the info you will need to collect the
money.
Bank number #1 Zenith International Plc , Lagos
Control Number # 3119558303
Bank 2 First Bank Of Nigeria, Lagos
3. First Bank Of Nigeria, Benin City
(I won't list all the other banks, but just know that the total number of banks is eight.)
The computer should arrive to you on Friday.
Thanks again for buying my computer and I hope you can
use the $40,000. It was your money that won me the
money so it is only fair I give back to the one giving
to me. Any questions send me an email.
Best wishes,
Susie
THE END

He has been owing me for a while now,so he will be issuing out payment to you via a cashiers check or a money order drawn from a US bank.the reason why am doing so is that a check sent from here in africa takes 30 days to clear,while a check within united states clear tops within 24-48 hrs.
if my terms are ok by you.
kindly let me have your contact name (to be on the check)and address where payment will be sent to. payment including your phone #.
get back soon so that we can round things up in a timely
fashion.
