Paypal twist on Nigerian check scam.

[The Buddha]

They are now sending emails that look like what come out of paypal. Make sure the $$ is in paypal.
There is one very frustrated fool I am dragging around somewhere in Nigeria.
Cool.

When I get the ones that want to send a check and me send money back, I play with them and give them the address to the police station here

Thanks for the heads up

Tx for the nod. Been a bit of paypal scam stuff floating round Oz recently. Graphics were looking good, but the language of the text!!!!!! Late last year was able to step-in and, with maximum effort/persuasion I tell u, managed to prevent one of my Pakistani students jetting off to London to do bank work with "a lovely, religious Nigerian girl" he had met on the net over a year ago. Without talking to anyone in his family, he had already sent her what you could call significant details of his banking arrangements.  And he isn't a "poor wallah", has plenty of the dinero in the bank. Sometimes, with these types, you feel like a dad, sometimes u just want to weep at the naivety.
