Man this world is filled with some real scum. It sucks that you can't do anything without having to worry if you're getting screwed over or not. You've got to always be vigilant and do your homework in all aspects of life.

Hairdude1 · 19 March 2013, 04:01 AM

Wow. Thanks for sharing this info.

MrPhatKatt · 19 March 2013, 04:12 AM

Sounds like the guy got several lines hooked on to some fish for sure.

mmmmp · 19 March 2013, 04:18 AM

First red flag wife in hospital, Second red flag introduction of sister, Third red flag Introduction of third party bank account. Add it up and it seemed doomed from the start. Just calling it the way I see it

The next email would have asked you to send money to Nigeria!

Cuts33 · 19 March 2013, 06:20 AM

I can't believe he forgot to mention that should you send the money, the Prince of Bahrain will in turn send you $4,000,000 US funds since you were named in his great uncle's will.

mrbill2mrbill2 · 19 March 2013, 07:30 AM

Did not know his sister the humanitarian, who is hadling his finacial transactions while his wife is in the hospital, was in Syria???

While I'm MrBill I'm not guliBILL.

swomariner · 19 March 2013, 07:31 AM

I don't see the issue. Sounds legit to me...

I also would like to point out that I am a Nigerian prince in need of assistance with a money transaction....

Scammers are all over that WTB thread. Be careful folks. I personally would never post there. You're better off sending PMs to 4-5 trusted sellers, and let them do the hunting for you.

No problem with posting in WTB section, just use common sense. That scam is one of the oldest out there...

Big red flags are people claiming to be from the UK. Sadly many African and Middle eastern scammers claim to be somewhere in the British isles. For this reason alone I am very cautios buying and selling to the UK for this reason.
