A friend of mine who got one of these Nigerian fraud letters was working with the secret service to stop them. This was quite a few years ago. Guess it’s back again!

I took her up on the offer... Jeneba and I are living it up jet setting around the world. She is really beautiful, a wonderful cook, great dancer, speaks 12 languages, and is a VERY passionately young woman. Thank you all who did not take her up on this offer. Oooops, gotta run, we need to cash some more of these gift cards.

Back in the days before email and text, this scam was perpetrated by post, and the favorite method of robbing you of your hard earned, was through Western Union Transfer.

My sister found a rental house on AirBNB. She talked to the owners several times and they sent her an official looking contract. They asked for a deposit by money order. Right away she should have known they weren’t legit, but really wanted the house as it was right on the Gulf. So, she sent the deposit. When she showed up, the security guard informed her that he personally knew the homeowners and they weren’t renting their house, but had been contacted by several renters wanting their money back. The scammers simply took photos off Zillow as it had been for sale in the past. This same thing happened to a friend of mine who advertises his Montana cabin on VR—. A scammer duplicated his property listing and was renting it on Craig’s list. He had renters showing up declaring they had paid a deposit by money order. One was a lawyer who had put down a $4500 deposit for 3 months. When my friend called the number provided on Craig’s list, the scammer answered the phone even using his name to perpetrate the crime. He then had to call his own lawyer to get involved and stop Craig’s list from allowing this to go on. My sister had to do the same by calling the FBI. Neither AirBNB nor Craig’s list was going to take action.
There are many scams out there. Please be careful. |
