Here's my story, This guy Jimmy Cole from the U.K. (United Kingdom), offered to buy a manifold that i was selling. He tells me that a friend that owes him money, $5000 to be exact, is going to send me a $5000 money order and he wanted me to send the change back, $4000, through Western Union along with the manifold i was selling. Well a week later, i got a 1st National Bank cashier's check for $5000 from Nigeria from a guy named A. Daniels, but the check was in a different name, which i dont have infront of me. Anyways, i went to my bank to go cash it, but they were having problems with it. The check scanner wasnt reading it and the teller tells me that the numbers dont match. So the bank puts an 11 day hold on it to see if it clears. A week later, i checked my statement and it says that the check did not go through, ofcourse i did not send him my manifold until the money cleared. Another member here on H-T got scammed by the same guy and ended up sending him $4000, which he is trying to fight through his bank... he will remain nameless.

Here's Jimmy Cole's Hotmail account, which is the only info i have of him jimmycole_2000@yahoo.co.uk

So guys, beware of Jimmy Cole and A. Daniels, if someone is sending u an obscene amount of money from Nigera and U.K. and asks u to send his change back, make sure the check clears and go to the bank where the money order came from!

There is one problem it isn't just one guy it is probably a couple thousand people + all over the globe if you do some research on the Nigerian scam on a search engine you will find that there are many people who are wanted for this scam has been going on for years and years now. They have identified some of the main people involved but i doubt they will ever find them. Or if they do i doubt they will find all of the people. Also this is a smaller scale for their operation they mostly scam people out of 10's of thousands of dollars. not saying that 1 or 2k isn't a lot but this is on a smaller scale.

 

this deserves a bump!! beware of this scammer!!
