Thanks so much for your fast response... The Cashiers Check,money order and bank transfer that will be issued will include the money for the sales of your item + the shipping cost and my commission.I would like to restate clearly that this item will be shipped to Africa and I have a shipping agent who would take good care of this.

All neccesary transfer papers will be dully signed by the shipper on behalf of my client when the shipping agents comes for the pick up of the item.
I will be willing to entertain more of your questions that mught arise and you are free to call me on my cell phone +2348050478723 .If you really show willingness and would really want to sell this item fast,please provide your CONTACT NAME,ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER so that I can have it forwarded to my client for immediate payment issuance.

STILL WAITING FOR THE MONEY ORDER OLU!
THE ITEM IS NOT YOURS UNTIL YOU PAY FOR IT!
DID YOU SEND THE MONEY ORDER YET OLU?

YOUR EMAIL CLEARLY STATES THAT YOU WILL SEND THE MONEY ORDER FIRST.

"You are required to cash the cashiers check, momney order and bank transfer same day you receive and deduct the funds for the sales of your item and have the excess funds sent to the shipper via Western Union Money Transfer at one of their outlets around you in order to schedule the pick up of the item."

THEN I WILL SEND THE BALANCE TO YOU VIA WESTERN UNION MONEY ORDER. THEN, AND ONLY THEN, WILL I SHIP YOUR ITEM OUT.

DID YOU WANT ME TO SEND THE EXTRA CASH WITH THE ITEM? I CAN PUT THE MONEY IN THE BOX OF PRODUCT IF YOU WANT ME TO.


______________________________________________________
Take That!
Send me your "momney order" BIAAAATCH!

I did get the check a few days later.
$2,815.00
Woo Hoo! I hung that bad boy up on the wall by my desk!

I'm not sure what I should do next... So I just wait.
It did not take good ol' Olu long to shoot me another email.

I HAVE ALREADY CALLED THE FBI AND THE FRAUD DEPARTMENT IN LAGOS, SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL WHEN EVER YOU WANT.

YOU SEE OLU... I KNOW ALL ABOUT THE SCAMS COMING OUT OF LAGOS.
I HAVE TAKEN GREAT PLEASURE IN MAKING YOU SPEND YOUR TIME AND MONEY SENDING ME YOUR FAKE CHECKS.

I'M GOING TO POST ALL OF YOUR EMAILS ON THE INTERNET TO WARN OTHERS AWAY FROM YOU. I'LL MAKE SURE TO SEND YOU A LINK TO THE WEB SITE WHEN IT'S DONE!

SO... IN CONCLUSION... YOU ARE STUPID.

HAVE FUN WITH THE LAGOS POLICE!
RUN OLU, RUN.

I don't think I'll be hearing from Mr. Olu again...

Thousands of people get caught up in scams just like this one every year. Maybe if we all made it a little harder and more expensive for the scammers to operate, they would think twice…
