I think I sold my Bronica RF!

[FrankS]

So I got this email. Sounds good, right? :bang:

Dear Seller, I am interested in purchasing your (Bronica RF645) without any further delay. But before i proceed on this transaction i will like to comfirm the following details from you: 1. Do you accept a ( Cashier Check or money orderss) as mode of payment? 2. What is the final asking prize for it? 3 Will you let my shipping company agent in U.S come to your doorstep to pick it up? cuz I would' nt want you to bother yourself about the shipping proble If so, you are to provide me with your NAME, ADDRESS, TEL Number, to mail out the payment ASAP. I will also want you to know that the payment you will receive will include the fees for the shipping company, so you will have to deduct the cost of your sales only from the payment and send the shipping cost and insurance fees in cash to the shipping company agent in U.S through western union money transfer. This will enable me to make a schedule with the shipper to come for the pick-up of (Bronica RF645 ) at your doorstep and they will deliver it to my relative in the U.S as well.

I think that your reply should begin

Dear Nigerian scammer...

Unless you sold the RF645 this for several thousand dollars, this is too much trouble. And I'm not even sure you'll ever see your money !
Oh, and BTW, if the 100 mm lens is involved, I'd be haapy to buy it in a much simpler transaction.

Two words: money laundering. I make a living of chasing them guys out of my employers door

Google "counterfeit cashiers check" for all the details on this particular scam.

It's not money laundering - it's straight fraud. They have no money to launder, the "cashier check" will be fake, and they hope the dupe will send the "balance" on by Western Union before discovering it.

In any case, I'm sure Frank posted this tongue-in-cheek, knowing very well that this is a scam. I mean, glorious undelayed purchase!

Ooops! I am the Anti Money Laundering manager in a transnational biggie, but I learn about AML in RFF. :eek:
