Nigeran Scam

[HIDDEN]

Cupert,

I guess some people are just not good with money. 

Just amazing story where the target became suspicious and was still had.

hi, spider,

Yes, very interesting. So the main scam was not in the buy/sell arrangements on eBay, and via PayPal, but in the seller receiving a phoney scam compensation amount from a failed scam attempt.

G'day Scott,

Yeah.  A twisted Ebay fraud that ended in a standard Nigerian Scam. I can see how it all unravelled for her. After consumer affairs told her not to contact them, she should have stopped but I guess maybe she got scared again, and then, all those $$$ appeared and well......as I said Fergie is probably not the only one that can't handle money.

I give 10 points for creativity.

Although it still comes down to the same old trick: you get a big amount but first you have to pay.
Greed is what making this scam work.
