Nothing on sccollections, but got you on Chuck Welch. knew it was fishy since the opening line read:<br />"I am Chuck Welch and I'll like to order some items from your gallery/store but before we proceed I'll like to ask the following questions." We've received plenty of these approaches from African scammers who don't know the difference between "I'll" and "I'd" future or future perfect. All Australian would (not "will") inherently know the difference. <br />thanks for the alerts.<br />-thom edelThomas Edelhttp://galenawerks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334260376400900106.post-58880715225053567202011-04-19T11:01:29.154-07:002011-04-19T11:01:29.154-07:00I got one today too!

Here is his last letter...Had a little fun with him!<br />Here is his last letter.<br /><br /><br />Thanks for waiting to read from me and for your effort on my order.<br /><br />The total cost of my order is quite correct and OK by me but I just got a response from my logistic agent that he cannot receive payment via credit or debit card from me at the moment. So I want you to help me charge another $980 to my logistic agent who is going to pick up my items from you.<br /><br /> The $980 that will be sent to my logistic agent is for the shipping of my order in your store plus some other items I have ordered from other stores around your locality which will be deduct from my credit card. Also, I'm compensating you with the sum of $250 for the transfer fee and for your efforts. Please note that I should have given the shipping agency my credit card for him to deduct the shipping funds but he told me that he doesn't have the facilities to charge or debit credit card, so that's why I bring my vote of confidence in you and I don't want you to betray the vote of confidence I put in you. So I want you to transfer the funds to him after you have make the charges and the money charged from my credit card is in your account, then you can now make the transfer to my logistic agent via western union. I will have love to do this myself but there no western union here around me. So the charges you'll make on my credit card will be:<br /><br />Order fee: ($1,263)<br />Agent fee with shipping fare: ($980)<br />Transfer fee plus your compensation: ($250)<br />Total: ($2,493.00)<br /><br />Note that my credit card will be charged for the amounts above. Please do get back to me if you are in the office right now so that I can forward my credit card details to you, then you can charge full amount and transfer the agent funds to him via western union but make sure you email me after charging my card details so that I can give you my agent details to send the money to.<br /><br />Hope to read from you as soon as possible.<br /><br />Warmly Regards<br /><br />ChuckAmerican Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261521349558983431noreply@blogger.com
