Today I received the usual bunch of emails promising the usual share of sum x despite "our deal" didn't work out as planned. I usually mostly delete them but this one caught my eyes:

I've checked online, the MTCN seems to be valid.
Has anyone else come across this? Did I just miss something and this has been discussed before? |

He is using a payment of another victim to assure you he is legit.
I thought WU stopped at $3.000 ? but that could just be wrong.
Not new, just not often that a lad is doing so well that he can leave it there for a few days.
Tricky, but doable I think, you have the number so phone WU and ask who the sender is, that might be a real victim! I'll warn a mod, just to be sure I'm not going over the line here.
EDIT : Hold that thought , moderators might want to do that for you |

We are seeing quite a lot of these at the moment, the lads might send a minimal amount like $1, but of course, the victim can't see how much has been sent, if they tried to collect the money, they will see there is a hold on it, which of course, will require you to pay the lad a fee to progress blah blah blah, also used as a sweetener to get a victim to think about sending banking information, whereby the lad can flash the victims account or transfer deposit funds from a phished bank account to victims account, and the victim sends it to the lad via Western Union blah blah blah.
[edit]
just a note, as with fake passports and ID's, if you receive an MTCN from a lad, don't send it to other lads, they will simply re-use it on their victims as well. If you receive a MTCN, feel free to send the details to a mod and they will pass the details to an interested party, whereby the MTCN will usually be cancelled within a couple of days. |
