09/28 Love Scams?
Quote From: dgbent56I just had to share this. Two years ago I was scammed by a Nigerian. It cost me over $11,000 and a bandruptcy. I did everything that I was told to do but nothing could be done. I almost lost the business where I had received the counterfeit cashier's check. I have done all kinds of reading on these types of scams and others and I don't want to see anyone go through that.
I have had countless folks ask me for prices for my products and they were going to outfit their stores with my products and pay by credit card. There credit cards are phony! I know to not answer any emails that come from Nigeria or any other foreign country. It is a waste of my time.
Please don't do business or anything personal with these people until you check them out, thouroughly!!!!!
Now, I feel better! And thanks, for letting me share. Cashiers checks, money orders, or credit card numbers are no longer as "safe" as they used to be. Any business you conduct outside of the U.S. should carry extra precautions: merchandise will not be shipped until payment has been verified, even if it means waiting 30-45 days before you ship. I'm sorry you were scammed.
