So im trying to sell my Camera and someone gives 315 for it and I can get a TRV14 for 125 so thats nice but now she wants to pay via Moneygram Moneytransfers and I have never seen this site before so I don't know if it's real. Their original website is http://www.moneygram.com. And I received an email from:
Moneygram Moneytransfer <[email address redacted]

Now I am confused.

They send an "official" mail saying the buyer will put 315 on my bank account soon and they ask if the information in the mail is correct (my bank account, name etc).

I find this confusing, isn't that just fucking unsave.. I mean, one typo in the email account and it would be sent to someone else and he could just say, nah my name is this and that and my bank account is this.

Well, I mailed them back it's right and now I get another mail saying I need to show a pic to show that I've sent out the package (they want to see it today but I cant even post shit today), so they can transfer the money and they know for sure that I sent the package. I mean, if it's a scam Im fucked.

So guys help me out, Im sure some of you people must have used this.

Easy, people need to pay first, then I'll send it out.

So if anyone is interested in my Camera, contact me. I'll ship over Europe.

Absolutely a scam. Never do buisness with anyone from Nigeria.

I get these Nigerian fucks emailing me everyday pulling this scam - http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/nigeria.asp

They send you a letter wanting to transfer millions of dollars into your account, all you have to do is wire them some cash for the transaction fee. So everytime I fuck with these guys, giving them false information and shit. It goes on for months. They want me to wire them $150 to Western Union and to give them the password to pick it up. So I tell themt hat I have, and that the password is "uncle gaylord", so they drive down to the nearest Western Union and try to get the money for Uncle Gaylord and the people have no idea what the fuck theyre talking about. So then I tell them "oh sorry, thats the wrong password, what I meant to say is "mother gaylord'"...and it just goes on and on till they give up. Its fucking great.

If you ever get a letter like this one - http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/nigeria.asp - respond and just fuck with them. Sometimes they'll give you their phone number, and you prank call them and talk shit.

Nigeria is notorious for scams. Stay the fuck away from those mongrols.

My brother said someone fucked with them the other way around, they tried the same trick on him as they did on me.

But instead he told the nigerian guy he needed 2000 first for some things to send it away (this was about something worth 15000) so they actually gave him 2000 and he never sent the package out haha so he scammed the scammers, which is awesome :)

He put the 2000 in red cross fund.
