Default ------- African Scammers...

I had a Coupe 240SX that i was Parting out after i bought it back from an accident...i had it listed for sale on the web and after a week i have some prospects....a lady by the name of Vera Akew.. and a guy by the name of kelvin *****.....both ID's where Fake.....they both came on as interested in buying my parts for up to 1000 dollars more than i wanted.....they said they would sent certified payment......heres where the thick bullshit starts....

Vera Akew said she would pay 2500 in Money orders from here vacation house in...get this...london.....

i said ok and i never heard from her again.....for a while anyway.....

in the meanwhile i talked to the ***** guy and he sent me a check from a florida chain of banks for get this.........3500 bucks! shortly after he contacts me via phone telling me that i need to send him a grand of the money back for shipping to south africa (supossidly hes a soldier stationed there....yeah right)

Thus this being the scam.....i send him money while i wait like a sucker for the bank to tell me that the certified check is fake...but it all seemed fishy....he couldn't spell a single word right in his emails, nor make complete sentences, nor did he sound white like the photo on his myspace.....

but anyway...the **** calls me up trying to talk as normal as possible....(meanwhile i'm tracing his IP address back to a remote area in south africa no where near where he said he was.) and he's pissed i didn't trust to send the shipping cost to him.....imagine that.....

to make this long *** story short..... i told him to go ---- a lion, and try someone else you ------- retard......

oh and the Vera bitch.....she was the same person.....'she' sent me a brown wax paper envelope with nearly identical handwritind and postage stamp, but with really convicing fake 800 dollar increment WAL-MART moneyorders in it....which i still have......hehe

i got that letter a week after telling ***** to stick his ***** else where.......

moral of this story.....if it smells bad...it is....
