I was not aware of the nigerain scam untill getting half way through a transaction of selling my car. I never knew of such a scam. I know now and I avoided getting screwed BIG time.
I care not for the information listed in the email as everything fits the scam 100%. I did deposit the check and was ready to send what I needed to my financer to cover what I own on the car I'm selling. But Someone at work told me about some scam and then I did some quick internet research and discoverd I was in it but caught wind just in time. The fedex pacage says "Nigeria on it" Yahoo has a warning about Nigera but has no info on what the scam is. Be aware if you dont alread know. So anyone want to buy a 97 Eclipse GS-T? $6400
here is the scam I almost fell for and here is the last email I got from this guy:
"Attention: Glass,
I contacted fedex,and they told me that your payment has been delivered.I instruct that you send down my balance via MONEYGRAM INTERNATIONAL MONEY TRANSFER to my agent. and you are also required to provide the "address / location" of where the purchased property is presently located at the moment, so that as soon as the agents receives the funds and the address / location from you, they will be able to seal-up the contract on pick-up and shipping arrangements with the prepaid-agent, for their pick-up and shipping services to be possible.
This is the AGENT's Details that you would need to send the money via MONEYGRAM INTERNATIONAL MONEY TRANSFER as he will be needing these funds to setlle some fees and tax charges regaring their shipping arrangements and as payment for his services before he can render his services.
