This is the first occasion where I have experienced someone trying to scam me personally. Incidentally, I didn't fall for it, as I mention in the blog, as it was quite clearly a scam. However, some people do fall for it which is a shame. Not everyone has their eyes peeled for scams all the time. <BR/>I feel your comments are a little bit harsh, but they are welcomed as I enjoy a little debate from time to time. My 'sad' me-world is my world, so I don't want to get out of thank you very much, I am quite enjoying myself! (this is what blogging is often about, btw, sharing experiences from your own life with others.) Perhaps it comes across as self-indulgent and selfish, but I don't care,and I would be interested to read your own 'me-world' experiences if you would let me (ie. not post as anonymous all the time!)Girl on A Trainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04089639212090196810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875257343870857954.post-88178995162310035242007-03-08T17:55:00.000+00:002007-03-08T17:55:00.000+00:00If you send something without checking your accoun...If you send something without checking your account you deserve it. Get out of your sad me-world and pay attention to what is going on around you. The papers are always full of tales of scams.

But then again it is a country with public corruption issues and I don't have much to base my opinion on except for these minor Ebay incidents affecting my life. It's a shame. These few people are really giving Nigeria a bit of a bad name. Oh well. They can't get me!<br /><br />Hello OE!

This cost for a 3 week stay was £1200 and they sent 'by accident' a cheque from their uk company (Solicitors cheque) for £6k, asking for the difference. Smelt a rate...they were a 'Canadian couple' and emails came from there...until you run a 'tracer program' that finds they were in Africa. One call to Solicitors and oh yes we had our cheques cloned and we have close the account.<br />Very close shave...felt so foolish...<br /><br />Happy new Year Scammers. It was good to hurl abuse at them when they tried to ask for the money!<br />Have framed the Cheque. police not interested.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875257343870857954.post-25764497835946024832007-01-06T11:31:00.000+00:002007-01-06T11:31:00.000+00:00I've never heard of that one before but have heard...I've never heard of that one before but have heard of others to scam money from ebay sellers.yorksdevilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09178024703114221535noreply@blogger.com
