    I just got a PM from kate69. Did anyone else recieve one or know what the fuck she is talking about? Probably just a money scam.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hello Owner,
    My name is kate johnson i am.28.yrs old,i am single with no kids,i based in England(London}i will be coming to the state in few Weeks time from now .Let me know how much it cost per month plus deposit.
    I am interested in the Apt,but am presently in Africa for a modeling i may be in the state 10th Aug,2005..i will like to rent the place for 1 year lease.I hope this is ok by you.i will be paying for 2months for now in advance.
    As regards payment,this is what i am going to do. I have a client in the US who is owing me US$4,800 i would instruct him to make out certified check to you in that amount you can now deduct your money from it and send me my balance, Although the value of the check is more than the total price but i think i should be able to trust you with my balance.The reason why i am doing this is that it would take a check sent from over here in Africa 21days to clear over there,whereas a check sent from the! US would clear tops within 48hrs..Please let me have your full contact address where the check will be mailed out to.,also i will like to know the full name the check will be made out to. so that i can instruct my client to make out the check to you.Pls get back to me as soon as you get this mail so that we can round things up in a timely fashion.you will email or fax me a copy of the reciept after payment as been recieved.i will send you a copy of my pics.
    Thanks in this Regards

    Probably just a twist on the standard Nigeria Scams. Send the details, and then suddenly they also need a bank account # from you, etc etc.

      Claims she is from UK, but living in SA, but ISP for IP is neither. Message has all the characteristics of a money scam.

            You could forward all relevant information (with ISP) to these guys and see what they do with it.

              It will be a scam. International cheques work in a different way from local/national ones (at least here in the UK - this information is wrong, but I woudl guess its a very similar system in the us).

              If I bank a cheque from my country, it goes through the banking system, and I dont get my money until it has been verified that the other person has enough funds in their account, otherwise it "bounces" and I get nothing. So once I have that money it is in effect guaranteed.

              If I bank an international cheque it takes much longer to send overseas, back to original bank etc, so my branch of my bank will credit me with the money of the cheque whilst its send off and checked. If it comes back (maybe weeks later) that it bounces then the bank just take their money back out of my account.
              It looks like you have the money, but in reality later on the bank will take it back.

              So you get lots of money (or at least it looks like you do), send off her share of it. Then the bank come back to you, say the cheque's bounced and take all their money back. You are left out of pocket for whatever you sent to her.

              This is why it works internationally and not within your country.

                This can work within the US as well from another "bank". You go and get checks printed up with bank account number and routing number encoded in correct format. You then send check for 10k to victim, victim's bank cashes as the bank numbers and routing numbers check out for _some_ bank. Same thing, you send money, bank finds error, you are out the money. Local news did a story on it a month or so ago, happening to a lady out here.

                  They're good, but I prefer these folks - 419eater makes them do silly stuff, but thescambaiter actively seeks to screw them over.
