GOOD NEWS.....YOUR VEHICLE

Hello Dennis,
How's everything going with you. I know you must have been expecting my mail because this one will surely make you happy. Although I never knew that it would be this way, but we are still going to do it since it's for both our sakes. As i learnt from my secretary today, my customer sent me a Cashier Check for your payment before travelling for some business. From her message, it seems like it was urgent and important and since then, i have been trying her line but i believe it's switched off. Now we have a Cashier Check which is made out in your name and for your vehicle but the amount on it is bigger than what you are supposed to be paid because she explained that she can't write different Cashier Checks.

However, we shall carry on because i feel you could be trusted. I have already contacted the clearing agent to be ready to come to your destination for the pick-up and delivery. He has agreed but on the condition that we will have to speed up everthing 'cos he has so many jobs waiting at hand. His estimated waiting period would have to be one week.

Now the Cashier Check made out by my customer will get to you as soon as possible. The amount on the check which you know is not all yours is $19,500. You are required to deduct cost of your car $12,800 when payment gets to you and then send balance of $6,700 to her agent through the means which he would prefer. This amount will be used to offset pick-up, shipping and delivery charges . Please you are to send to the clearing agent the aforementioned amount. He would come for the pick-up and you are to make sure that all title papers and other necessary documets are handed over to him at the time of pick up. We are to tidy this up so we would not loose the services of this man, 'cos he is the best that i can get and trust. Please Confirm this ASAP and provide Name and Address for Cashier Cheque payment to be delivered to you.

Now in case there is anything that you would like me or my customer to sign, please send it to my fax number-----------425-732-0285

Thanks for your understanding.

Mike

That one has been going around for a long time.....and he has a 425 fax number, but is from Mount Prospect (Chicago), that would be a 773 or 847 area code.

Run, run, run!!!!!!

Not to mention his otherwise crappy grammer.

425 is a Seattle area code I think. I can drive right over to his house on PINOAK on the way home and ask him if he is a Nigerian Scam Artist.

Seriously, can we scam this guy in reverse? I'll help!

flyin8

I Live in the 425 Area code, let me know if you need any help with anything.

there is nothing wrong with cashiers checks, just make sure it clears the bank before you give the car or anything in return...

hit me up with an e-mail if I can help you out at all mikekippen@comcast.net

PaulW

This is a very well known internet fraud, don't even consider doing it

PaulW
