Guest trancepriest Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 I listed a camcorder for sale on ebay today and this is the email I got from what seems to be Nigerian scammers:Dear trancepriest,Hello friend, Am DR. MELVIN MARTINS, I stay here in US, i will like to purchase 4pcs of your item, and i will like you to send it down to one of my clients who had recently travelled for a project in west Africa Nigeria.I want you to email me if you will be shipping the item to that location,and email me with your selling price, And include the shipping cost with FEDEX EXPRESS to that location. I shall be paying you shortly.i will email you later with my client's exact delivery address. Kindly include the mode of payment, Thanks MARTINSThank you,martinsboboLOL... standard generic email that they send to everyone I guess. His email address is melvinmartins1@lycos.com if anyone wants to have fun with him. I have to figure out away to reverse scam em... like letting them pay for shipping, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JMT Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 i assume he hopes that someone will be dumb enough to send the item before they get payment? he doesnt actually come out and say it directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest macboy Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 For those scammers I say FedEx me cash in US currency for the total amount. That usually stops the emails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
