Re: scam tactics (litevette)

w are you today?Thanks for your response.I was even thinking you lived very close to my location in UK not Until when I went back to the site thai I saw you live in US.I would have loved to come to US Myself and view it but the nature of my job will not permit me.

Anyway as a matter of fact for the interest I have in it,I will get in touch with my associate that is based in US and also an american citizen to issue you a cashier check of $2500 whereby you will deduct your own $275from it and send the remaining $2225to my shippers via money transfer after you might have confirmed the payment in the bank. The balance is meant for payment of their service inorder for them to convey it to my location in UK.This is just to hasten the transaction cos I dont always have time.I am always busy with my jobs.
Before the above said can be done,you will need to give me the following information:
THE FULL NAME THAT WILL BEAR THE CHECK,
HOME ADDRESS,
PHONE NUMBER.

As soon as the above asked is supplied,the payment will be got accross to you ASAP by my Associate.

I look forward to the info ASAP to enable me forward it to my associate.
Thanks.
Kelvin.

HERE is the scam!!
