Oh abbeysue, DON'T DO IT! Call U.S. Customs. Don't be surprised if the woman says (in broken English) that she will mail you a certified check and that you need to HURRY and cash it and send the money to her and that will take care of it. She will say that she will add EXTRA money to it so you can take your share OUT OF IT. Call your bank, they will tell you that you cannot even trust a money order any more....you still have to wait as long as you would for a check to clear because there are so many fraudulent ones. Wait and see, it is all a part of the scam!
See, when you HURRY to cash it, (she'll probably want to send more than $1,000) it will be coming out of your account because it will B O U N C E ! Chances are though, you'd never get it because Customs intercedes everything coming out of Nigeria right now. |
