Hi fellas, got this SCAM message today after putting up an ad on the asylum classifieds:
"Hello,
thanks for getting to me fast. mere reading
your mail, i see how honest you are. haven read your
mail i will contact my colleague who is indebted to
me.so he will be sending you the us cheque. mind you
he will be sending a check of the total amount of
money he owes me which is $1500.when you get the
check,go and deposit it in your account and when it
has been transfered to your account you deduct your
$100 and forward the remaining to my shipping
company in united kindom through western union money
transfer. The shipping company will be coming for
the pickup of the item,that is three days after you
have sent them funds.the funds will be meant for the
shipping and clearing arrangement of the item.
i hope i can count on you for my portion after you
have deducted your $100.i am giving you extra $50
for the stress you will be going through
I WILL NEED
YOUR NAME,ADDRESS AND YOUR PHONE NUMBER FOR THE
ADDRESSION OF THE CHECK. REPLY ASAP.
Thanks
mike."
So the moral of the story is this. NEVER give out your phone number. Only accept certified checks and/or money order payable in US funds. Paypal is fine too of course. Also note his poor grammar skills.
Take care of yourselves,
Anand.
