Always mix a little jiberish and a few typos into your replies. This way, you can string him along for your (and our) enjoyment.

should have said; 'sure, send me a Western Union, in USD'.

Looks like a good potential customer. Why not give him your bank account number so that he can wire you the funds? A little faith, trust and some goodwill can go a long way with a Nigerian.

AH,the old Chinese Double Reverse Trick !

You Know the one "Real coins,Bogus Payment"

Not related to the coin portion but realted to Nigeria. I received the email yesterday saying that the person's client in Nigeria had 27 Million Dollars that they wanted to put in my bank account so that they could have access to it in the US.

I'd better hurry and get my bank account number to them!!

What really got me was the phone call yesterday. I never expect that.

That's what you get for selling coins to some guy named Frank Chiong

LALASD4 · January 12, 2005 2:30AM

Should tell him you would accept unmarked $1.00 USD bills only, larger bills might be counterfiets

mgoodm3 · January 12, 2005 2:32AM

Tell him that you want the money deposited directly into your account and that you'll give the account# to make it easier. That'll make em drool.

Robgetty · January 12, 2005 2:36AM

Heck, tell him the truth. You must have payment in full before shipping overseas.
You never can tell, he might be serious. (I'll agree that it is 99.94% likely to be a
scam attempt, but if he is willing to mail a money order that clears, then why not
sell to him?)

100proof1957 · January 12, 2005 2:39AM

Wonder if you could open an account for say 50 bucks and have the Bank flag it as "incoming transfers only" ?

CarlWohlforth · January 12, 2005 2:55AM

I don't even bother replying to those. I think if you reply your email address gets added to a "special" list...

Tootawl · January 12, 2005 2:55AM

What is it with you and Nigeria???

Thats what did it for me. He must have heard about the toned dime I got back today. WOW, I forgot I even sent it in.

You didn't want to be on the Nigeria scam list? Sorry about that. I thought you did
