Variation on the typical African scam

[ling_dtua_khaao]

Here's a description of an African scam that doesn't follow the usual pattern of millions of dollars being offered to you.

she tells you that she is from Alaska but is working as a model in

Lagos on a short term contract. Once she has got familiar she asks for a

postal address to write to you and then a bit later tells you she wants

to visit on her way back to alaska. Then she asks if you will cash the

check from her modelling contract for her so she can spend some of it

before she goes. A few days later a large cheque (5,500 Euros) arrives

made out to that person drwan on a bamk in France. This if banked will

appear to clear through the banking system and then he cash can be drawn

and given to said lady. It is not for a couple of weeks later that you

get notified that the cheque was a forgery and the money is removed

from your bank. Hence she gets the money from you.

I have received a cheque and have had it confirmed as a forgery prior

to banking and have sent the original to the bank head office.

The TF member who wrote that (thank you!) was talking about user brand_005, who claimed to be from Alaska but only ever had IP addresses logging in from Nigeria.

collinsxyy was another TF member claiming to be from Pennsylvania but only ever using exactly the same IP addresses as brand_005, from Nigeria.

Both have been banned, but please stay aware of this variation of the scam too!
