I did visit my local branch to see what was this guy going to do with a new account number with zero money in it.
I was told that most likely they would send an amount over the agreed amount and then ask for the over amount to be sent back. They would send a fake $29,000 and ask for the extra back. They send fake or false data and I send the real money back. The details to how exactly they do it is still not clear. Apparently a wire is hard to fake. You have probably heard about this scam from some of the banks. The email is usually unsolicited and lands in your spam box. Gathy was little more devious and crafty.
Either way Gathy Brand or what ever his name is in Nigeria, is still on the move and probably has someone in his sights again.
They pray on email addresses that are listed on car auctions or ads from Autotrader. You have read the generic unsolicited scams but have you been in contact with one because you are selling a car?
