First Post

Figured I'd create a blog to post names of Nigerian scammers who have tried to scam me. This should turn up when people search for email addresses or names.

The scammers also go by the name of Mark Grade as well. Here is an email that I received this morning. We were almost taken by these guys the first time they tried contacting us.. But now I know what to look for.. Bad grammar, they always want the price urgently, they always sign it -"Respectfully",
The Scammer, and there is always an excuse why they cant pick the item up themselves. Be careful because they will also try calling through a relay operator on the phone, pretending to be deaf. Beware of these scams!! Dont send anything to Ghana Africa.

The same Thing has happened to me and a couple of my suppliers over the last couple of weeks.

The scammers in question are going by the name of Barry Chssis - danlad rabiu [kiticlan@yahoo.com]now and telling me to send the goods via a shipping company called Conbert Express Shipping. CONBERT_EXPRESS_SHIPPING@HOTMAIL.

Barry pays you for the goods on either 1 or 2 cards and then you pay conbert express through western bank.

The total cast was for £4,775.25 and he wanted me to then pay half of that to conbert express through western bank transfer.

I checked out both cards and they were registered in the states and i was given an address below for the card billing address.

I even spoke to this chap on the phone!!

31 Churchill Road,
