How To Turn £200 Into And St205 Gt4

[dosenöffner]

Simple. Take one housing benefit cheque for £200. Scan the check and print some blanks. Perforate the edge. Fill in the new amount (remember to put the units in the right column unlike this dummy) and send the cheque to me pretending to be a buyer for your associate based in South Africa.

Will let you know how I get on with the police tonight. Have arranged for him to be here tomorrow to take delivery of the car.

Shame I know something he doesn't think I know. It's a Scotland Yard job since the cheque is made out for £10,000 in one secton and £100,000 in another.

How stupid can some people be?

I like wool as much as the next Kiwi (the cheque actually originated in South Wales ) but it'll never be pulled over my eyes.

Hopefully the prize for muppet of the year award will be prison but probably not. :( He contacted me through an ad on www.findit.co.uk so be careful.

Right from the start I picked him as dodgy so he only ever got a hotmail account and a work address. I never gave him the registration either.

Been so long since I heard from him, cheque arrived today by DHL, that I've sold the car elsewhere and it goes Wednesday. :P

Never release a car without the funds cleared people. Golden rule number 1 when selling.

The car is not at risk. The guy is after the remainder of the money as he sent me too much in the cheque. The cheque would clear as the Council would not pick up the error until month end due to the type of account and the money volumes that flow through it.. This gives him 5 weeks grace this month.

Below is the email I recieved last night. He also phoned me which I let go to answer phone. Waiting for a response from the Police. I will take this to court if need be.

Hello Glen,

My client contacted me that the check has been delivered to you today and I

want this transaction concluded on time because the shipping agent has scheduled

to leave Africa for U.K soonest and I want to avoid the shipping delay.

Don't forget that the balance of the excess funds will be needed to prepay the

shipping agent before coming for the pick up, the funds should be sent to the

shipper's senior accountant via MONEY GRAM TRANSFER AGENT located at:

WAL-MART #2366

1470 S WASHINGTON STREET

NORTH ATTLEBORO, MA 02760

Phone: 508-699-0277.

The shipping agent is familiar with their services and they want the funds sent

via a money gram transfer agent,I'm aware of the interest that will be charged

for the transfer so you can go ahead to make the transfer ASAP.

RECIEVER'S INFORMATIONS:

MR. JOHN ADEWUNMI (SENIOR ACCOUNTANT)

25-30,HOPEWELL PORT ROAD,

TIN CAN ISLAND,LAGOS.

NIGERIA 23401.

And the following informations will be needed to recieve the funds from the

bank.

1.Sender's full name and address

2.Refference # for the transfer

3.Test question and answer

4.Total amount sent after the interest charged for the transfer.

5.And any other relevant informations regards the transfer.

You can as well contact the shipping agent Mr.John Adewunmi for further

development.

Counting on you to do the transfer ASAP to avoid shipping delay.

Thank you for your understanding and hope to do more business with you in the

nearest future.

Best regards.

Robert.
