About 419 Fraud

Ever get an email, letter or fax from someone in Africa promising you millions in return for allowing them to use your bank to transfer funds?

Well, it's a scam!

It is called 419 "Advance Fee Fraud" and thousands of people around the world have lost BILLIONS to these bastards. Don't you be one of them.

One of the latest things they have is purchasing high dollar items through Ebay, along with many other auction sites then sending a good looking counterfeit cashiers check usually $2,000.00 to $10,000.00 over the purchase price. You are overjoyed to have sold your item and, since it is a cashiers check, you don't have a problem wiring the excess money back to Africa or other parts of the world.

The thieves don't want the car, they'll never pick the car up but they will take you money leaving you dealing with the bank (and law enforcement authorities) over the fraudulent cashiers check.

This is happening all over the globe even in the USA and don't kid yourself, it is happening a LOT!

Remember, if it sounds to good to be true then it is.
