Hi,

I posted my advertisement in www.mudah.com.my, and later, 1 lady emailed me, showing interest to purchase my stuff.

First, she asked for my best price.
After I replied, then she asked me to ship it to her son, whose currently studying in Nigeria.
She also claimed that she is also currently working in Ase Insurance Company at United Kingdom.

So basically, what she wants me to do is; go to local post office, confirm the shipping fee, then get back to her with account number so that she can proceed to bank in the money.

Email pasted as per following;
The funny thing is, if she really working oversea, why her English is .... well you guys know what I mean.
And, take a look at her son's name; doesn't sound Malay at all.

So guys, should I ignore this kind of message?

Thanks smile.gif

Wow it's upgraded. Now scammer used Malaysia as origin, and working in other country. This must be illigitimate son. xD different name ftw!

anyway, yes, it's 23412412% scam. So just put it into spam folder.

If you have a lot of time, just continue play, in the end, she will send you email of some bank proof sort, and it will tell you to send the stuff out, and then the money will only go into your bank. Remember it's fake, no matter how real it is. So you just give him random Tracking Number and tell him/her , thank you and pleasure doing business with him/her.
