SCAM REPORTS
I just mailed you a letter with the US Postal Service about a Scammer
that frequents your Web Site. He claims that right now (During Christmas!)
he's at a conference and has no access to his personal funds. He really wants
to buy the seller's item and later emails you that his PA Assistant has
accidentally overpaid and he wants you to Western Union the excess funds. He
claims that his name is Jamie Lewis (Fake no doubt). I checked the
whitepages.com) and he's from from SD. I knew right away that it was a scam
and I reported it to my local police. I will also will make a compliant with
the FCC and FBI site. Jane Sanders.

The radio was an orginal purchase by my grandfather in 1941.It has been in
this house since that time..When I moved in back in 1991, I found it in storage
and cleaned it up, and set it out in my living room.I am selling because I am
making changes in my house as well as I would like to make a little extra money
on the side. The wood is in excellent condition and the electronics can be fully
restored to work. I don't have any photos - I don't have a digital
camera..yet..I am asking $200, since it is a family piece and I really would
like to make that much on it. Cheers!, Jane L. Sanders, Warsaw,Va.

12/20/05 - I posted an on-line classified on Washington Post to sell an antique chair. "Graham" grahamstores2001@yahoo.com responded and said he would pay by money order. However he was going to send me a large money order in the amount of $1000 where I could deduct the amount of the chair and send it back to "him". I finally received 4 money orders in the amount of $850 each. I believe these are fake. The money orders came from an address in CA and I was instructed to send the money orders on to an address in PA after deducting the amount of the chair and related fees.
Then I saw your web page.
After refusing to sell him the chair I got this email from fbi_scams@yahoo.com:
"Hello Tina Kinney, We did receive an email from Graham Bells Jr. notifying us of a breach in contract between both of you, he stated that hes buying a chair of $250 and you have agreed in selling it to him based on agreement and trust and he had to issue money orders of $850 each (4 pieces), and he informed us he had to issue the money orders in your name and have it sent to your full name and address stated below: Tina xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Your corresponding emails with Graham Bells have been recorded into out system and we will be waiting to hear your own view of the transaction before necessary measure will be taken which may include: 1. Coming to your location to confirm if truly you have the item listed for sale. 2. checking if you have cashed the money orders or checking your account if you have a new deposit Please endeavor to reply back asap Yours Faithfully Smith."
I contacted yahoo email services and washington post of this scam. Tina Kinney
That second shot e-mail is the most amateurish attempted scam that I have ever heard of. Thanks for sending it. I'll add it to my scammers page
10/12/05 - Sir: I know you have nothing to do with the people who answer your ads but you might want to be aware of a recent scam. And warn your advertisers to check out all buyers, before they deposit their money or cashiers checks into their bank account. I advertised two small occasional antique chairs on your site. Total $300.00 I received an immediate offer for them from a buyer in Sidney, it was a huge scam, he sent me a money order for $3200.00, wanted me to cash it, go to Western Union, and send the difference between the price of the chairs, the cost of the money order etc., to some person in Nigeria, who would handle the shipping. I smelled a rat immediately. Wrote back and said no, then I received another email assuring me it (the cashiers check) was 100 percent okay and to send the money to someone in England. Took the money order to my bank, and yes, it was bogus. No such Citrus Bank in Orlando Florida existed, the name had changed. Evidentially someone had gotten hold of a lot of their money order forms and were using them. They were all handwritten, which also raised a red flag. Just a warning. the bank said that 500 of these money orders had tried to come through their bank. So buyer beware. mdg1945@cfl.rr.com

Hello Aio ,
Thanks for the email.I appreciate it a lot.I am happy that you have recieved the
payment in good faith.I am planning on a trip to visit my ill wife so i want
this sales to be completed as soon as possible.Please i want you to send the
excess funds to the shipping agent so that they can prepare the necessary paper
works and documentation and the shipping arrangement can countinue.
They will only charge you for the cashing of the check and transfering of the
excess funds to the name and address given to you by the Mr Brown.
Please i want you to deduct all the charges of transfering from my money
and send the remaining balance to the shipper.
Please note that you will tell them at the western union office that you are
sending the funds to your sister so that they will not charge you more and
double for bussiness transaction.I hope you understand me i want you to make use
of it.
Please as soon as the funds is sent out today let me know with all the transfer
details so that i can meet up with my plan of visiting my sick wife this week.
Here waiting for your response
I am counting on you please dont fail me.
Thanks and God bless you as you do so.
