Re: Definitely OT: You'd have to be a "morone" to do this!



Hi!

That doesn't bother me. I'd only wire them money after I got the
money orders, cashed them, and waited for them to clear.

That's just it. I don't think they ever will.

I still don't get how the scam would be profitable for them. Is (s)he
collecting ID's which (s)he can then use to forge other ID's, or use to
charge my accounts?

What you do is cash the money orders, or deposit them into your account.
While it's very unlikely that any bank would let you out with that much cash
in your hand, there would be no problem depositing the instruments into your
account for later use.

At that point you'd wire the money out as instructed. Then you never hear
anything back, except from your bank, who has now determined that the
instruments presented for deposit are phony and worthless.

As far as the money goes, it's probably gone at that point. From what I've
heard, wire fraud of that type is very difficult to recover from.

Thank for your mail. I am not happy with you because I don't
deal with people who are double minded. Please, my web sites
which content my information's is under construction.

I don't like this. I read it and see "scam" all over it. I'd hazard a guess
that if you check the internet headers on the e-mail, that you'll find it
coming from Nigeria or somewhere similar.

Dan, in all seriousness--I don't think you want to touch this with a
10-foot-pole.
