That's true, I just think it could be funny. I mean, they sent me some sort of fake check, or a real check from some stolen account or something, and now want me to Western Union it back to them?

LMAO at the check.

Yeah, I was hoping the Jesus thing would show them how not-serious I was, but apparantly not. Now I can't cash it and send them back the money! Curses!

Either way I'm off to work, so no YIM tonight I guess 🙁...kinda a bummer, I think they went offline cause they aren't responding to my last email either.

Maybe that figured out that there is no way they are going to scam you so they are moving on to another potential victim.

Actually I did get a response after I left, with the following:

hello
and i want you to know that im not stayed in nigeria i stayed in califonia in colton but i wan not in the state now i was in china for bussiness, and the person that need the car stayed in us also but he used to purchase this car and resale it there in frica ,so i dont know why you are talking this way.

So he's not in Nigeria, he's in Cali, but the person that needs the car wants to resell it in Africa lmao
 
Well, it's been 5 days, and the last thing I heard was a desperate email asking me to send them the money back. I called their bluff on the scam, nothing since 🙁...OP updated with the emails.
