Default Scam

Mike Lane has a Hurricane for sale on CobraCountry. After a few email from a guy in Nigeria, Mike told him to send the check. He received a cashiers check. Of course the check was more than the price of the car and was drawn on a bank in the U.S. Mike faxed a copy of the check to the bank and they said it was a counterfeit. They turned it over to the FBI. The scam must work sometimes because they keep doing it. A couple of email and a bad check for $7000 profit. Not a bad business. I hope Someri split the profit with his new cell mate.
The best scam is 10% of 6 billion dollars, now that the one I like. hem, Kirkham and I could pay cash.
