Recommended Posts

Guest EricJeter

Hey fellas,

I got this in my inbox earlier, and wanted to share it with the working boys that may not be familiar with this type of scam. It's another "in Africa and need you to do me a favor" type of ripoff.

******************************

Hello

Its good to hear from you.I wish to employ your services as an escort for a period of a week(or more) during My impending vacation I intend having in the states.I couldcome to NYC as lond as you'l be there.I saw your Profile on men4rent,still trying to catch my breath and keep wondering what its would be like having you next to me.

I want to tell you a little about myself.My name is ******,a british by nationality but i work in africa,Nigeria on contract with a oil servicing company.My present contract expires this month and and then i'm heading to the states.I want to be sure i secure your service when I arrive the US but actually I'm a little financially stranded at the moment and I don't get paid my final intallment for my job until the project has been approved and that takes a while.

I have a proposal for you that will enhance our meeting;I have some impending payments to recieve from My clients in the states but they intend to pay in cheques that can't possibly be cashed here.So with your consent,I can instruct one of them to send you the payment in your name.I'm willing to pay $500 as downpayment of your fee.The rest i want you to wire to me here through western union.This would help me facilitate my arrival to the states.

If this arrangement is okay by you.let me know and send me the following imformation

Your full name:

Your Address(where the check will be sent):

Phone number:

On getting this i will intruct my client to send you the check by mail which you would recieve at the address you provide.A house address would only be acceptable so i can be sure you got it.I will let you know exactly when the cheque is to arrive.The cheque would be for $2500.You wouuld take your upfront fee $500 and send me the balance at with the imformaton i would give you in a subsequent mail.I hope to hear from you soon.here's my number:*************.Have a good day.

*********

as always,

Eric

Eric thanks for the heads up. I recieved a scam I believe of a different sorts. Yesterday there was an email supposedly from my bank. Funny thing is that the bank doesn't know my working email account. I didn't open up the email and sent it directly to my trash bin. It is wise if one really looks out for odd senders and subject titles. If the sender or subject line looks fishy well then it probably is.

Hugs,

Greg

Info....please cascade to our members please.

Important reminder about scammers. DON'T GET CAUGHT!

We have had reports about scammers attempting to con escorts out of money

again.

This normally takes the form of the scammer booking a lengthy visit or

overnight stay, followed by the sending of a cheque or other form of money

order. This cheque will appear to clear in your account, but in reality,

the money from a cheque can be taken back by your bank up to 56 days after

it has appeared to clear.

The scammer will normally come up with a story about being owed money by

somebody in this country, or having a cheque for expenses that needs to be

cleared, and will request you to bank the cheque and return the extra money

to them.

The cheque WILL clear, but your bank WILL take the money back out of your

account once they realise it is a fake, but this could be up to two months

after it has cleared.

Remember, any transaction that appears to be out of the ordinary may be a

scam. Most clients will pay you in cash, any complicated arrangements, and

certainly anything which involves you RETURNING a balance of money to a

client is 99% likely to be a scam.

If you have any doubts at all about a client's transaction, please feel free

to call us for advice on 020 8255 0277 and press option 4 between 1pm and

5pm Monday to Friday as Sleepyboy.com takes your security and your privacy

seriously and is always just a phone call away when help is needed.
