Ah the classic Nigerian scam. I own a classic Mini and have dealt with these scams for over 2 years. It seems that once you have a car that they want they will send you these letters.

OH and be sure NOT to give your address. I had some people in the Mini community come home and it was robber and car was stolen. if you give them your address this might to happen. So DO NOT give your address away.

I've been offered this twice for my paintball guns.

I've always thought about giving them the police station's address and have a setup

yeah i filed a report with the police station and my uncle is in the fbi and it has been file with them as well. i guess this is getting to be a big thing.

Just make a setup so you can get the guy arrested. Perhaps the police station can help. Say like, go along with the whole scam and have a different address which you can use. When the guy comes to pick up the product and give the fake money order, the police ambush him

seen people fall for it..

but really, how much common sense does it take?

4k for a paintball gun to then be "entrusted" to send the rest back...

"Victims of the Nigerian cashier's check scam should also contact the U.S. Secret Service at (303) 866-1010. "

good number to have
