Scam Money Transfers
Example - "
I will like to purchase some product from you to my own company in lagos Nigeria"

If you have a website, you'll probably receive this scam email sooner or later. The scammer writes that he "wants to purchase some product from you".  We chuckled at CFR when we received this one, as we don't sell anything!

Aside from that, it is an ordinary scam. If you contact them, they'll either use a stolen credit card, or simply file a false claim.

Just another scam. Here it is for your entertainment.

Pls let me know if everything is accepted and get back to me with your web site address so that i can email you back with the items and quantity needed.
