Of course that is a scam. tell him cash or no sale! Or even better, make him think you don't know any better and go along with it. it'll be hella funny!

Lol wow he would go from new york to la for a lei. arowana?

 

[~THEO~]

haha, yeah. I get scammers like this everyday at work asking me to send them generators and they try to pay with 50 different credit card numbers. I usually play along with it. But its easier to just ignore them.

It means some idiot in New York has too much time on his hands. Here's a suggestion, write a check out to him. Don't use a real check though. Google image search "sample check." Here's an image I found.http://images.google.com/imgres?img...mple+check&gbv=2&svnum=10&hl=en&safe=off&sa=G

Chances are this joker has never even been to New York.

 

[oii]

I would write him..

"Dear spear chucker, I'm sorry your country is poor and stupid but you're not scamming me for my hard earned american money. If its money you're looking for maybe you should try your luck at blood diamonds. I've attatched a photo of me rolling in a pile of money.

now go find a job you piece of garbage."

I always get emails like this. It is usually some "lawyer" stating his client was a dignitary from South Africa, Brussels or Kenya. He says, "my client has passed away, and he has no living heirs. I have been instructed by the Gov't to write you a check for $28,000,000. All you have to do is cash it, keep half for yourself, and give me the rest. All we need to begin the process is your SS#, DOB, DL#, Bank Routing number and your mother's maiden name." Yeah, OK, let me get right on that. What a joke....
