Hi there,

I would sincerely like to thank you for your past purchase from me.

I am not sure if you are interested but I have in stock right now many mountain and road bikes. Got them in a clearance auction.

For every purchase you will get a 30 days money back guarantee.

If you are interested for a quick sale let me know.

Thank you.

Anthony White

So when Leisure Lakes reports tomorrow that their main warehouse has been ransacked and the entire stock disappeared, we know where to send the cops eh!

I'm glad you put the list up because I'm in the process of putting a group order in that will get you an extra 20% of those prices. If you could Paypal me a 10% deposit, gift of course to keep costs down, to my account at...........

this is odd. I'm a doctor, and one of my clients was killed in a plane crash. He had a bike shop in Nigeria, with exactly this list of stock. He had you down in his will, so I want to ship them to you, but I need some money to get them through customs..

Genuine LOL

As I suspected!

Do you know what receiving this email made me think first though...? Just how much the standard of English Language taught in Nigerian schools has obviously gone up in the last couple of years, certainly the language and grammar used now easily exceeds the standards of the average STW forum member!

You keep 'em talking TSY, I'll get their wallets.
I reckon if we set ourselves up as, I don't know, from a less affluent country, off the top of my head, Nigeria. Most people will think that they're smarter than us and it'll be easier to fool them. What do you reckon.

I got the same mail earlier - arrived looking like it was a reply to paypal payment notification. It wasn't sent to my forum email address though.

Ant here (the real one, short with a big nose, and wears bells on my lid)

Looks like they hacked my yahoo email yesterday pm and got ahold of paypal notification emails, so anyone who has bought off me on ebay & xcracer shop might be contacted. How tiresome! FFS. Not sure how widespread this is. Hopefully nobody will be conned. All my passwords have been changed. They are communicating from beilboyant@yahoo.co.uk rather than my real yahoo address. Will no doubt turn into a Western Union style scam.

Hope you get it sorted.

Thought I recognised your name and the email address looked familiar, hence thought I'd post on here not just ignore it.

Sorry to hear of the ballache you're experiencing! Good luck sorting it all out...

cheers Mboy, as you can imagine Yahoo have been useless so far ... it's like going to the coppers with the crim in your car and they don't do anything. I'm trying to not have a sense of humour failure ... some of the comment above have lightened my mood aswell as the my Kielder recovery Guinesss's

Yes, I got this one too, altough mine didn't have the list of bikes on it:

Hi,

I would sincerely like to thank you for your past purchase from me.

I don't know if you're interested buy I have in stock right now many mountain and road bikes. Got them in a clearance auction.

I offer a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee for every purchase.

If you are interested for a quick sale let me know.

Thank you.

Name
Address
Tel etc...

All the bikes are brand new in boxes. E-mail me for bike specifications and accessories included in the box. Different sizes and colors available.

All sounded too good to be true but I remembered your name and went hunting for an email from that address and nothing. Stuck your name into my trusted old friend Google and this was the 1st link I found.

Well done peeps and hope you get sorted AW.

The standard of English taught in Nigerian schools has always been high; you can thank the Irish priests for that. Nigerians all write with the same handwriting as well. The biggest giveaway is their turn of phrase: things like "I will not want you to worry..." and their habit of putting figures in numbers as well as letters: Twenty million Dollars ($US 20,000,000).

It'll no doubt get even better now that the Catholic Church in Ireland is paying more than lip service to child protection...

Lol @ muppetwrangler.

I seriuosly wouldn't hold out any hope of success or even help from the idiots at Yahoo. I've had and closed so many accounts with them due to the ridiculous security hoops you have to jump through.
