I've received a couple of these for a motorcycle that I have listed on an online classified site. One was recent but another was a few months ago, so it seems it's been around. Somehow I don't think anyone in Africa would want to bother shipping a 1982 Yamaha from the US. The latest was: I \'m interested in purchasing your advertised Street Bike and the price is okay by me. Please let me know if you ship to Lagos Nigeria in Africa and if I can pay with a certified cashier cheque drawn in america bank. If this is okay with you do get back to me immediately for me to arrange the payment.I await your timely response.Best regards makjones Contact Information: makjones makjones@private -----Original Message----- From: owner-crime@private [mailto:owner-crime@private]On Behalf Of Jeff Bryner Sent: Monday, December 16, 2002 1:17 PM To: crime@private Subject: CRIME Nigerian Net Scam, Version 3.0 Nigerian Net Scam, Version 3.0 (Culture 2:00 a.m. PDT) http://go.hotwired.com/news/culture/0,1284,56829,00.html/wn_ascii In the latest iteration of the Nigerian e-mail swindle, scammers pose as buyers interested in big-ticket items for sale on the Net.
