I put an ad up to see some bike parts and have been getting one or two of these each day since. I guess when the ad said to contact “Allan” they weren’t able to figure out that Allan and “sales” are not the same person :slight_smile: I can’t figure out WTF they’re actually asking me.

Here is the email I received …

… maybe he’ll buy the Profile fork for 6 million US dollars if I send him a check for $5000?

Yeah, I had a friend ship rims for his BMW, and lost 2000 bucks in it. We laughed him out of the room when we found out.

Delete, delete, delete, delete.

Or respond with a simple “fuck off”. Either way is effective.

We do a lot of business with mr. john from Lagos. As a matter of fact, we are expecting a $10 Million US wire transfer from him to our bank account…

Yes, I understand he has a credit reference from a “Mr. Chin.”

Sorry, had to be done.

I’ve had people book rooms over our web site for 7-14 days from Nigeria. After we cancel the reservation we email him and tell them that we only except 100% non-refundable deposits for international reservations. We ask them to kindly send a money order for $10,000 and we’l refund the remaining amount upon arrival.

Am I doing something wrong? I never hear back from these potential guests!! : )

Oh…I forgot…I do have a fake money order for $21,000 for a $3,000 bike I sold. The guys carrier never showed up to get the bike!! : ) It was Mr. Lagos, guess the carrier got lost!!

Maybe I have too much time - but I like to tell these emailers that I love them and that I would like to visit them. After a few emails, they stop
