Hello everyone. It is gonna be a short one, but I wanted to post so you can know that it it's a scammer 100% and can begin to have fun with her.

The story happened some weeks ago before I was into this baitscam thing by the way, lol, so I am not playing with her in any way.

The story :

I wanted to sell my computers online in a Swiss site. And got a mail from <[email protected]>. She wanted to buy my computers at a good price, but since the Swiss site takes a little fee everytime we sell/buy something, she wanted to avoid that. Me too.

So we chatted by mail. They are all in german except the last one. And since I am not native german I am not gonna translate everything :
But in the mails we arrange the price and everything :

And I ended up selling my computers 480CHF (~475US$) to her. Which was a honest price for me. She also was about to give me 90CHF extra for the send costs.
When we were OK with the price. She sent me the adress where I needed to send my computers. Which is :

Tosin Meier
69 Bakare Estate,Akure
Ondo State
Nigeria
23434

I must say I wasn't confortable with this women since the first mail. And now I must send the computer to her son really fast, in Nigeria since he is studying there. (Who the fuck studies in Nigeria...)

She sent me a mail I just saw a few days ago that was in my spams, it's the only one in english i got.
I copy it here for you guys :

So before this mail I already searched for her and her son and found that it was a 419 scam.
I told her she was scamming me and sent her the links (It was still before knowing to not teach anything to lads).
She never answered, but I still got some spam mails from Lloyd Banks.

The funny part is that my boyfriend is from UK and worked with so many banks in UK being the CEO, he never saw this kind of things done by such big banks lol.

I ended up reporting her to the Swiss selling site so she will not be able to post anything from her computer ever again. Don't know if this is gonna do much..

Hope you guys had some entertainement with my story. Now I became a real scambaiter. Ben Dover is gonna get some milions in his account from his dead uncle, and I also need a loan for my company, obviously. Wink

Kiss everyone!

Hi there Not Ben Dover,

Welcome to eater n glad to hear you found out about this guy being a scammer. I mess around with the scammers from this swiss site since half a year already. If you like to chat about those, you can send me a PM.

^^^ That has classic ship scam all over it. There a lot of lads that do this type of scam. There are usually 2 angles with this scam.

Angle 1. The scammer will give you money to pay for "shipping fees" usually with a stolen credit card. (Report those numbers to a mod you will score a black pig in your sig) When baiting them I try to get them to cough up more cards. I had one claiming to do laundry that gave up a bunch of credit cards. Eventually they will want you to Western Union or Money Gram the shipping fees. Typically these lads move fast and want to get there money before the Credit card is reported stolen.

Angle 2. The scammer will buy cell phones and computers using stolen credit cards.

Good luck with that one. If you need anything give us a shout.

Thank you for the luck!
But I will not get any further with it.
She got my real emaill since I first thought she was serious about buying my computers. She also got my real address, the full name of my boyfriend and my boyfriend's number account.
So yea, my boyfriend just gonna call the bank and tell them that they must be careful with his account, if there is any movement they need to immediately call him.
The only thing the lad can actually do, is, either give us money deliberately, or just send a letter to the bank saying he want to close the bank account and sign it with my boyfriend's name. Anyway, the lad need to know what's my bf's signature and the bank will call us o make it sure since they will extra careffull. Wink

Since we live in a very big city I don't mind her having my address, she probably already forgot it, and if the lad comes to me, he is gonna run away really really fast.
I'm gonna send the lad's account number to see if a moderator can help with that. Even if I think it's a false bank account since she only wanted the computers. Thank you.

I seriously doubt that the account is real. It's there just to make a victim believe the money has been put in escrow. The real goal of the scam is simply to get free computers sent to Nigeria.

^^^^ Correct --- the bank details are invalid

I imagined that. Since she had nothing to do with the bank.
She still have made this big false eMail with number phones and other emails so yea. Still reported. Wink
