I scanned a copy of a Nigerian scammer check that I
received this week for a friend's BMW I'm helping to
sell. I loaded it the SCAMMER folder. It is
absolutely a real check, unfortunately it is just
worth the paper it was printed on.
The asking price for his bike was $3400 and he sent me
a check for $6400. He had no details about the bike,
I never sent him a photo and I never revealed my
telephone number, and he sent it to a POB, and it has
a different name from the Dr. Jewell who I was
corresponding with to get this trophy. On and off Dr.
Jewell was confused about whether he was buying a car
or a motorcyle. He got indignant when I told him I
hadn't received the check after a week and he was
going to sell it to someone else. He said he was
going to be in my town on business and I told him I
would love to meet him and see the smile on his face
as he rode away on his new bike. He wrote back
immediately to tell me his manager had cancelled his
business trip and he was now in Belgium.
I did all correspondence via a sockpupet email
account. The check is made by a company called
www.qchex.com that will automatically mail out a check
for 70 cents to whoever you want. Presumably you
don't even have to have funds to cover the check.
Also it was post marked in the same zip code where I
live. I don't quite understand how it all works, but
you can order blank checks from their website.
I got about a dozen email replies to two ads and not
one was legitimate. All of them wanted to pay an
excess amount with a cashier's check with the excess
going to their shipping company. I'm baiting everyone
of these guys for the trophy check. Now I'm going to
email the good doctor and tell him my mailing company
needs $50USD in cash to send his bogus excess funds to
his shipping company.

What an awesome idea, please keep us posted. Also,
there are many websites devoted to getting these
f***kers, make sure you stop by a few of them, and
give them more ideas. There are many good people out
there who dont know this is a scam, and cannot afford
to get ripped off...

I read an article yesterday about this company. Apparently scammers
can steal money from you just by taking the account and routing number
from the bottom of your checks, then printing checks through this
company. Check it out:
