longball Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I saw the exact same letter on another site. I don't remember what exactly he was trying to purchase but it was the exact same letter. It has to be a fraud of some sort but I don't know how it would work. Glad you caught it so you didn't have to give first hand experiance on how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Yeah, it's a standard letter. I've seen it and received a few like them in the past. Before I received it, I noticed his name all over TU trying to buy stuff up. I guess they figure they can scam a small percentage of the people. I'm still waiting for my $14,000,000.00 they have hold for me in a bank in Nigeria! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

criggster Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I wondered why he was replying to a thread that was a couple of months old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
