I got this in the mail today... <SCAM ALERT>

Nigerian 419 scam???




In case you can't read the letter- here's the summary:

 

We somehow obtained your name and address and probably other private info about you and are sending you this fake check.  We would like for you to deposit it and send us back only $3320.00.  The rest of the check will be your reimbursement for thinking that we really are interested in hiring you so we decided to just send you this big irresistable check.  The catch is that you have to send us back the required funds of $3320.00 within 48 hours.  This way your bank won't have time to tell you that you are a dumb-*bleep* for depositing a fake check.   Then you will be broke and pissed and we will be laughing our asses off.

Well, they can kiss mine.

I got one of those a few months ago but it wasnt the same people. I sent it back to them and they sent me 2500 bucks and i havent heard anything from anyone. So you might try that haha. Good luck.

lol, had a friend do that. Got hist check cashed every payday. Got a check like this in the mail. Cashed it and got aaway with the money. Wish that would happen to me

[ownerofnoobz]

ok.....umm this is my first post (yes I know.....) That check up there.. if the dude is telling the truth they sent that too him. Then this is a scam... (sorry) I went on other sites and they've done that too i followed with them...... and they gave me $3,000 Dollars and they said... give us back 2,600... and i mailed them back. the next day i looked at my bank acc.  It was a fake check..... I lost 95  dollars becuz it was fake check. before it got mailed (talking bout the 2,600 i went to my bank and got the check.)   So.. my point is.....If 1st guy is saying the truth... this is a scam. (ill update everbody if i get the same letter or not.... (i hope not )  ... im smarter now anyway .. . out Good luck to all

[channiechan562]

i receive something like that too but it seem fishy to me so i checked it out online and there were so many of this that were fake. so i rip up everything.

[ownerofnoobz]

I don't know I hope somebody clears this mess out....

[coreyl37]

I received a check a couple a years ago and cashed it at my bank for 2500 and a week later my bank came back to me and told me that the check is fake. So now Im responsable for paying them back so be carefull people

I heard that some of the authorities in Nigeria now want the folks that get scammed out of money to be prosecuted, because had it not been for their greed of thinkin they were gettin somethin for nothing...they would not have fallen victim to the scammers...damn wouldnt that be the final kick in the azz?...lose ya money an plus end up prosecuted..

[ownerofnoobz]

Talking about fusion cash or the nigerian check  ......... ---> he doesn't like scams lmao  ... anywayz ... im on  $12..... i joined 2 days ago ....I don't think im gonna do the cc required things or free trials ... till i get my first check.. if i do get it  ... Well... then ill start doing some >.< i need netflix anyway LOL

[NotDrPhil]

This is definitely a scam. I get emails similar to this almost daily. Too bad they're not real - otherwise I'd probably be a billionaire by now!

[blondeshorty85]

I got a check like that.. and MY LETTER SAID THE SAME THING.. CRAZY.. and yes its a scam

[dexterjrh]

Everytime i get those checks i turn them over to the bank thats on the check. Lot of those checks are coming from canada

[Kymberli0529]

Obviously that is a scam.  I got the same sort of deal for a 2000 dollar check.  Cashed it, thinking I could get away with it, than had to repay my bank.  Not fun.   

Although, we did have a darn good vacation off that money.
