*Scam Alert*:A New Scammer's Method by Skynet247(m): 1:29pm On Jul 11, 2014
I wish this little post can make front page... To warn nigerians with the latest way scammers had innovates a new way to scam people...
.
I met a lady with the name rita osaze from london on facebook, about 3weeks ago... We became tight friends... With time she tould me,she can help my sister to travel to london... I said but i don't have the ticket and visa fees... She said she will handle all expenses.... I was happy, but my sister insist its was a scam in disgust... So i tould rita that my sister thinks its a scam... So rita tould me she will send me a brand new apple laptop from london, so my sister will believe... That was on monday... Latter on tuesday, she gave me this website to track the laptop www.arco-courier.com with tracker TP3QJB0E i was happy when i tried it on the site, and it worked... On wednesday morning, i recieved a call that my laptop had arrived in nigeria, i should contact one mr tobe [clearing agent]... And i will have to pay 7000 for customs... Thats when i began to scent something smelly in the deal...
.
Number 1. How can some pay 150 pounds for just shipping of laptop...
.
Number 2. How can the domain be 34days old, but the claimed they had been in business since 2001 [thanks to scam adviser]
.
Number 3. Why is this carrying agent mr tobe want to finish my phone battery because of 7000
.
I tould the rita osaze that am being asked to pay 7000 before the laptop could be sent to me... [thank God my token was missing i would have done an online transfer]
.
She said i should pay, i then asked her, you said you have only a cousin in nigeria, where do he lives? She said abuja... Managing two of her hotels name st mary... Just imagine one mr jeff with phone number 08052805628, when i search on google... This number was on topix 2013, with name pst mike for jamb upgradement, which we all know is scam...
.
To cut the long story short, i narrated the story to my trust friends on facebook, and the all comfirmed its scam...
.
.when she noticed i understood she unfriended me on facebook
.
Please share this around... 7000 naira might look small, but it still can help you.

Greed is an underlying factor in falling victim to scammers.
