This came in 1/6/03 from an individual who had an interesting exchange with his potential scammer  

Received 12/22/02 :  A personal letter just for me...yeah right!!

THIS ONE HAS A US CONTACT NUMBER!

This is a hysterical exchange between the scammer and a guy in the US with a great sense of humor (a must read!)

This was received by me from an unfortunate Australian couple who got ripped off.   

This sounds like a great real estate deal!!

A Student Loan???

Received Wednesday 19 February 2003 

I was scammed out of $7000.00 from a guy named Mr. Abbey from Nigeria who claimed
 he wanted to buy my horse he seen advertised on the Internet that I was selling.
 I was asking 1600.00 for the horse plus mare care and boarding fees until the horse was picked up. 

He owed me $1700 for this. He said he had a client in the US that owed him money and 
his client would send a check for $7000.00 dollars with would pay for the horse, 
boarding fees and mare care and for me to pay the shipper when he got here. 
I put the cashier's check in my account and waited for it to clear. About 7 days 
I called the bank and they said it had not cleared yet. 

I waited another day and called bookkeeping. I was told the check cleared. I E-mailed 
Mr. Abbey and told him. He then E-mailed me back and wanted me to send the balance 
to him cause his plans for the shipper had changed and he would take care of that 
himself to send the money western union to him. I didn't suspect anything and did 
as he asked. The next day my bank calls and tells me the check is counterfeit and 
now the bank wants their money. I had to hire a lawyer. A friend told me of this 
site to contact you and let other people know about this scam before someone else's life gets ruined.

From Larry on 01/26/03

I had placed an ad on the internet to sell some cows. I was offered $4000.00
us dollars from someone in Nigeria. We accepted the offer. He later replies
he has a client in US that owes him $9,500.00, he wants to forward the check
on to us and we are to cash it ,take out our $4000.00 and forward the rest
on to him. Everything was to be done immediately or asap. I came across a
similiar story on your site about a car. I e-mailed them back and told them
I would not do this. I think its probably a scam. What do you think?
