Got a message from an OLD ad (Capacitor Tester Rohde&Schwarz).

IP Address 41.217.68.64 goes to Lagos Nigeria and shows up on 3 blacklists.

The single work response in all caps was: "AVAILABLE"

The name was Yi Xu and call sign APP

I'm reminded of the classic line "Let's just say I'm skeptical".

Kindly get back to me with your NAME,ADDRESS AND CELL PHONE NUMBER for the immediate payment...Awaiting to read from you."

I was almost had by this guy. Same as others replied to older post took forever to pay then when payment did arrive It was a Navy Federal Credit Union Cashiers Check. then I started getting text instruction to cash the check and buy gift cards and send copies of the gift cards. I called Navy Federal and verified the Cashiers Check was fraudulent. The return address of the envelope was:

BETASEED ENTERPRISE
209 N ALDEN ST
PHILADELPHIA, PA 19139

So now what. Navy Federal Credit union was not interested in pursing anything, who do I turn this over too?
