Scam???

[ranchhand]

The English as a second language is a pretty good hint that it's actually coming from a scam operation. Did you read all the posts in that thread? Several came back to say nope, not legitimate and the SEC has shut them down. You got "phished" somewhere online.

I kept asking her for the address of this company and she kept replying that I need to email them and find out. So I am emailing this yahoo guy LOL and find out for sure if it is legit.

I'm going with my gut feeling........its still a scam. I'd rather pass that amount of money than trying to pay them back if it is a scam.

Next reply from her: Just make sure that whatever they ask you to do make sure that you do it and add them on your yahoo messanger list and talk to them direct

Another reply from her: Yes i did pay for ibc shipping fees same day that i got the money send to them sure they deliver me too same day

I think she got suckered!

I asked her how much........

her reply: i pay them $650

 

[EweSheep]

As soon as she paid them the money, they gave her the first round of checks............SCAM!

Are you sure you are actually corresponding with you friend and no one has hacked into their e-mail address? I had mine hacked a few months ago and apparently I was asking my friends to send me money in England because I got mugged
