Me too, almost every other day. All the dead relatives with different names than anyone in our family, leaving me millions has also been "rare". Not to worry I have one wealthy cousin and he doesn't appear to be talking to any of the rest of us.  Grin

Whenever I've advertised valuable gear for sale on Craig's List I get the inevitable...I'll send you 500 more than you ask and you ship the camera to my cousin in West Africa...Craig's List should be able to block these MoFos.


No, not like that. You get big transfer or check more than your price. You keep the fee and send back the extra. You get big bonus for favor. But check is stolen and bank hold responsibility for you.
I see. But how can you be responsible for a stolen check someone deposited in your account?

They mail a check to you and you deposit it. The check clears because it is a fake using a real account number of a corporation for example, but appears to be real. You get the money, send the excess to a drop box. (which is usually Wells Fargo for example) Or they have an "agent" pick up a check... one way or another the person who gave you the check and the person who get the money are also duped into handling transactions but not the perpetrators.

Two weeks later the corporation discovers the fake check, the funds are reversed and you owe the money back to the bank.

The person who has the money has vanished.

That's roughly how it works.

The easy part is someone who sends a check for more than they owe and needs you to somehow send them the excess. It's a scam!

I have decided to quit photography and live on all the money I have won or inherited from relatives that I did not know. So far this week, I have recieved 1,000,000 pounds from Coca Cola and 13.5M from an uncle. At this rate I should be able to buy Microsft within two years.
