Nigeria scammers, Wester Union method.

So here is the story, I have posted an add on gumtree (UK’s favorite add’s website) and then a guy named Yemy Dizzy texted me and asked to reply through email only. We agreed with the price and then he asked my paypal email adress to make a payment. He claimed that transfer has been completed and an additional £110 been added for postage outside of UK, and asked me to send that £110 pounds through Wester Union for the shipping payment so the courier can collect the item from my address (Bless my brain for it’s perception).
Then I received two emails from PayPal (which already looked suspicious) and so forth…
Anyways the guy was too straight forward.

For more details about it just google this email address that I have got the emails from: paypalcaresteam@emailaccount.com

Here is some pictures to look at, typical stucture:

So he is ready to buy it:

Then he confirms the ‘transfer’:

Afterwards I received two emails from ‘paypal’ (not):

Be aware and stay safe.

NEVER use wire trasfer, money order, cashiers checks or any of that ESPECIALLY when they say they will pay an extra amount of money for you to get it to them. 99 out of 100 times its a dirty faggot trying to rip you off!

I’m surprised he didn’t ask for your credit card number and expiry so he could ‘pay some money into your credit card’. always ensure you use a site that is secure eg ‘https://www.someSite.com’ and as above all that stuff is untraceable and they disclaimer you before you process so they don’t have to recover your money. I work for a bank… you would be surprised how many stupid people fall for it and then expect that the money will be returned.

Pfffft. ANYBODY who sells ANYTHING to a Nigerian online needs their heads looked at.

I’m not saying they are all bad, but when was the last time you ever heard of a good Nigerian deal happening?

Western Union sales are ALWAYS to be avoided. And anything that requires YOU to pay anything at all.

Can’t believe people are still even answering emails from such obvious scammers.

You should start belevieng, cus there are always logical answer for that. In the first place he did not mentioned anything about Nigeria or western union thing, so I though he is like any other person in UK baiscally. Secondly he revieled where is he from when finally agreed to make a deal. Obvious. Anyways this is my first time when I had a chance to deal with this faggot.
