Scammer alert: "henri_jose01@yahoo.co.uk"

Post by K5WW »

Greetings all.

I was contacted twice today by this character, regarding my advertisement, asking about shipping, etc. to the United Kingdom, where he said he lives.

After a closer look at the details of his emails I found that this person is not in the UK at all, but in Nigeria...

His emails revail that they were sent through the servers of the Direct On PC company, Plot B Block 1 Ilupeju Industrial Estate, Lagos, Nigeria.

Needless to say I didn't fall for it; I've read about so many scams already. But I'd like to remind everyone to check out who you're dealing with - check the email origin right away!

Oh, and "Henri Jose", if you're reading this: what gave you away immediately was your poor English. My dog speaks better English than you! Nah, just kidding; I don't even have a dog! :lol:

Safe trading all, 73,

Gert - K5WW
