I rang the first telephone number and spoke to a very busy gentleman with a Nigerian accent who told me the first $15,000,000 would be ready for me to collect in Amsterdam next week.

I will of let you know how things go - though if it all comes up trumps it may be in some quite future time.

I have now received a cheque - from a school in Cardiff, who of course know nothing of it. OK I was a fool to have gone this far, but while I was well aware of all these scams I didn't know they operated in the property rental area. And do all your clients have good English? Mine usually do but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't.

Perphaps there are some other people in this forum who are not aware of these scams. This may be useful for them.

Welcome to the forum LodeveLibrarian, scams are created and morphed because they work occassionally. You were right to post it I think, (even though it looks fairly obvious) . Over time you will see which subjects get covered constantly, and you will get plenty of disapproving or barbed comments. I think it's part of the fun.
