I have taken out names just to protect the other forum.

I am here to let you know of my scam experience. It started about 3 months ago. I got an e-mail from this guy who said he was very interestead in my horse trailer. He just wanted to know the price and that was it. At first I tought something was wrong because the gram and spelling that was used was very poor. Here is an example.


Dear Sir
I am (name) I am interested in Buying your horse
trailer, Please give me the total cost of buying only and I will instruct my client to pick the vehicle up from its location as soon as the cheque/money order is cleared. I want to know if you accept a casher's cheque/money order.If that is okay by you get back to me as soon as possible because I need it urgently. If interested you can as well reach me as soon as
possible with your full names, contact address and telephone number.

Regards,
(scammer)

After me telling him the price he e-mailed me back and said he would be buying it. He told me that he had sent the cashiers check. After it not showing up I e-mailed him and asked what was wrong. He then e-mailed me and apologized for the delay. The check he sent was issued on the 1st of December. He e-mailed me back on the 5th of December and said, "I just sent the cashiers check out it will be there soon. One day I was on the internet and checking my e-mails and recived this message.


i guess by now you should have received the check. amount on the check is $5200.difference is for my shipper whom will be coming to your location to pick the trailer up from you. waiting for your response.


It was on the 15 of December, I tought it was kind of odd that he was send me $2,700 dollars to pay for his shippers. So I went and got my mail the cashiers check was there. I asked the postmaster to read the postmark and he told me it was from Africa. The stamps on the envelope were from Nigera. Also the envelope was not sealed. I took the check down to the bank they told me it would take about 12 days to calear. I e-mailed (scam name) to let him know, he was upset and wanted me to send the extra money to his shippers immediately. I talked to him on the phone to try and explain the whole thing but he was very rude. Almost every day he would e-mail me or call wanting to know if it had cleared. Many times he told me that I was lieing. So one day I called the bank to find out if the check had cleared and they told me that it was counterfit. That very night (the scammer) from (business scam name) called and I told him the cashiers check came back as counterfit and he told me he would fix every thing and send me an e-mail. I had the show me some of the things wrong with the cashiers check. So I will turn all of the info I have over to the law enforcement. I almost forgot today Dec 27 I got another scam e-mail and it was from (other scammer) in the United Kingdom and the wrote just like (1 stscammer) and asked for all of the same things just like him.
