I received a call with a withheld phone number @ 8:15am Very poor connection The person on the phone did not sound like they were from London or the UK. They told me the same thing they would eb sending me a cashiers check this week with further details on the Trip.

Now what I am waiting to see is if a cashiers check arrives How much will it be for and what the instructions will be? Probably something like Cash this check and send what not needed back via western union! Well I will wait & see!

More to follow later this week.
 
I've got 8 cashier's checks totaling $100,000 from those nigerian bastages. I collected them when I was trying to sell a car on autotrader. They would call me using the internet operator connection setup for deaf people so you didn't hear their voice and you thought you were dealing with a disadvataged person.

I found a website that had a whole list of ideas for screwing with these guys and even had some audio from people who were leading the scammers on and screwing with them. Some pretty funny stuff.

I didn't really have the free time to get into detailed pranks with the scammers so I didn't mark the site. A google search for nigerian scams should produce a gold mine of ideas if you want to play with their heads.

They do deserve it.

Wait! You made 100k off those guys???

I believe that he has just collected the fake checks, not cashed them. Too bad, though.
