I WAS RECENTLY RIPPED OFF BY ABBY HARDING IN RESPONDS TO A LAPTOP FOR SELL ON CRAIG'S LIST. I WAS HARASSED THROUGH NUMEROUS EMAILS...
Recently a group operating in Oyo State, Nigeria has been trying to defraud sellers on auction websites in Japan.
Their method of operation is to send a message to the seller in the auction and offer a large sum of money for the item and asking for it to be shipped to Nigeria. The group seems to primarily target sellers of mobile phones.
If you reply to one of the messages from the group and offer to sell your item, the Nigerian group members will send a fake email from a bank saying that the funds have been transferred and that you must provide proof of shipment of the item in order to receive your payment.
The group uses the following email addresses, and probably many others:
[email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected],
