phony scam. we've got a letter in the mail which said we had won $650,000, turns out when i looked up the company it was listed in many of the fraud watch lists.

they ask for your personal info so they could steal your identity. these people are sneaks, when we called them a very charming guy said he'll give us the money if we do this and that. dont fall for it.

There was a thread on here before where someone went to buy a printer off Craig's list from Africa, sent him a fake check for 3K, and said he would be sending one of his "associates" to pick it up by plane in LA. So IIRC, the OP kept messing with the African guy saying he already fronted the money from the check to a car dealership, that it would be a good "investment", and strung him along. Good stuff :)
