Just by discussing it here you prove that you are well above the type of person sought by these trash emails! ;) It's just a numbers game. Send out 1,000 (or 10,000) and get 1/10 of 1% response and you score. Unfortunately, I've yet to see anything that is effective to discourage them. Just deleting the messages does not stop some from answering and encouraging more of the same. :(

Yes am still intrested,but to make this transaction asfter that is why i was asking for your credit card okay.How much is your item each and how many do you have for sale?

Matt.
----
The ribbon is 90 inches (2-1/2 yards) by 4-5/8 inches exactly. Fabric is 120 inches (3-1/3 yards) x 45 inches.
If you want both together that will be $35, inncluding postage. They almost exactly match. If you want either alone it will be $20.

Hello Terre Schill,
Yes am okay with the prices,and if you have more for sale,let me know i will order them from you,but do you have a credit card,cos i want my client to transfer the fund int your credit card for faster payment.
Matt.

I will settle for slower payment, Matt. I do not give my credit card # out under any circumstances. Will send my address for money order or cashier's check if you still want the ribbon and fabric.

It looks like this guy is in the Netherlands by his IP address.

I'd report him to yahoo for what looks like attempted fraud. I'd also forward this to the FTC because it sounds like a bad attempt at phishing. I've seen a number of scams in my e-mail originating from there.

From the FTC website:

Deceptive Spam
If you get deceptive spam, including email phishing for your information, forward it to spam@uce.gov. Be sure to include the full header of the email, including all routing information. You also may report phishing email to reportphishing@antiphishing.org. The Anti-Phishing Working Group, a consortium of ISPs, security vendors, financial institutions and law enforcement agencies, uses these reports to fight phishing.

I told him I wanted $100,000,000 for my books on tape, called him a piker and he still wants my credit card number! I loved the letter Crystal's fiance', a financial frauds investigator, sent the guy....it still has me laughing. Sorry, I know the communication is what he wants but it's just too much fun to let it go! On a serious note, though, I'll be a good citizen and make a report to the FTC as well.

thanks, Kimberly for those two email addresses. I forwarded all five messages as attachments to both addresses, and I hope everyone else who has had dealings with this person will do the same! Thanks for help, everyone.

My fiancee's letter to him:
Mr. Hart:

Upon reviewing your email conversations with my wife,
I understand that you are adamant about obtaining
valuable, private credit card information to proceed
with this transaction. Upon reading your initial email
to my wife, you stated the following, ” i will be
making my payment via (Money Order or Cashier Check)”,
now you are stating you must have our credit card
information and that is the only way you do business.
My question to you is this: which one is it? She
wasn’t falsifying her statement to you when she
advised you that she doesn’t have a credit card, I
have credit cards, but, I will not give this
information to anyone via email or the internet,
especially to someone I have never met. If you truly
want to do business with my wife, you can email me
back a telephone number so that we can discuss this
issue and come to a resolution. Due to the fact that
so many people are involved in the theft of credit
card information(one aspect of my job is the
investigation and prosecution of fraudulent activity),
we are going to need more information from you before
we do anything involving my credit cards. Should you
refuse to supply me with a valid telephone number,
refuse to email me back and/or decide that you
absolutely must obtain our private information without
more information, I will assume you are fraudulently
representing yourself and I will be forced to intiate
the investigation process and possibly (depending on
the location in which your ISP states you are
located), get agents from our local FBI office
involved to investigate this as fraud. You must
understand that we are taking these actions because of
the amount of fraud out there. I am sure you know that
Yahoo keeps a log of all IP addresses and routes
between to ensure integrity. I hope you are on the
level and we'll soon find out, one way or another.
Again, my apologies if you are truly wanting to do
business, but, this whole situation doesn't sound
right.

Thank you

His reply to my fiancee:
(spelling is exactly like we received. Nothing has been changed roflmao)
Hello Man,
Thanks for your mail and how is your wife, hopw you had a wonderful time with her,i want to let you know that am REAL and i i don't have anything bad in me,you don't have to say tat to me,cos am a well know man here.


I want you to know that i have a clean business with you and your wife,and beside not all your credit card info i needed from you,just little of it,cos i want the transaction to be more faster,i believe that Money Order or Cashier Check,will take a loger time before it get to you,that is why i want my client in canada to transfer the fund to your credit card.


Do you know that,this is what my client will transfer into your credit card,and am willingly to giev you or your wife 10$ from it,cos my client will transfer $5000 to you and you will send me my balance as soon as you have deduct your 10% from it.


You going to make a lot of money from it,cos all my money that my client is owning me will get go thru you,but you have to trust me,and i can tell you the info's i need from your credit card,think about it and get back to me.


Matt.

Classic "419" scam line! :rolleyes:
They think that everyone is as greedy as they are. Unfortunately they need to be correct only a few times to stay in "business". :(
