64pvolvo1800 Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 My wife is selling a china cabinet for a client on CL and she immediately got this inquiry. I thought it was only appropriate to fuck with the moron. START AT THE BOTTOM Dear Brian, I am sorry but this item has been secured by a down payment of $1000 from an intersted party in Nigeria who has many more funds than you have offered. They have offered $2500 for the item, plus a $2500 handling fee, in addition to the advance of $2500 for payment to their preferred shipping company. Perhaps if you really are enamored by this particular china cabinet, we could return their deposit and accept your payment in the amount of $15,000 instead. We would prefer to ship this to you instead anyway because just between you and me, I 'm thinking the Nigeria thing might be a scam. Please consider the $15,000 offer and if these are acceptable terms, please forward your full name, physical address, bank account numbers and date of birth for my CEO to review and process, We look forward to your doing business with you. PS it really is a beautiful cabinet. I have heard that there is a secret compartment with some stocks and bonds that were smuggled out of Nigeria for safekeeping and I suspect that's why the Nigerians are looking to buy it back. They must really think I'm some hick without a clue!

I will like to proceed with the transaction asap and my mode of payment will be via Certify Bank check drawn on my bank,The item will be picked up from you by my shipper so you don't have to worry about shipment of the item also the check will be sent with the fund to cover cost of item and also shipment by my shipping company due to company policy the amount i placed with my company can only be written on a single check so that is why i want you to receive these amount and send the difference to my shippers that will arrange the pickup when the check clears at your bank,Once the bank verify and cash the check you will deduct your fund and send the excess fund to the shipping company C.E.O to prepare all shipment papers and insurance for pickup of the item ,i should have handled this myself but i am not available to do this now i am currently away for my company seminar that is why i want you to do this to facilitate the transaction so proceed to delete the advert of the item if my mode of payment is accepted and get back to me asap with your Full Name,Physical address and Phone # to send the check to you on time.

BurgerBob Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Haha, I'd love to see his reaction. It's amazing how fucking stupid those people are. When I was trying to sell some rims I got an inquiry like that, but even more vague. The guy kept saying that he wanted to buy my "Volvo parts," but couldn't tell me where he saw them or what they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 1st clue that Paul's back in the country: too much time on his hands! I get those daily for the cars I have for export, it's pretty sad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ean carr Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I got the exact same e-mail when selling my Wii on CL. Guy offered 50$ on top of my average price if he can use his carrier and every thing would be set I would just need to cash his "bank check" rofl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
