Re: Be Careful Selling on Trader.

There are tons of scams like that for everything. This guy from work got this email from this fucker in Africa saying that he had a huge inheritance that he was going to get but he needed to be in the USA to get it and he needed some financial assistance for lawyers fees and other legal fees to get the money. The person even talked to these people on the phone from here to fucking Africa. He sent them 1000 dollars "western union" (fucking stupid). They picked up the money, and he never heard from them again. It was some big fucking sob story too, his dad died and all this shit. Them fuckers really played it to be real, they actually talked on the phone numerous times setting everything up.

When it came right down to it. There was nothing the person could do about it from over here. If you send the money, its your ass pretty much. There has even been stories of people giving there address out and having people come to their houses and rob them and even kill them. There are some crazy fuckers out there and theres a new scam everyday.
