I'd hate to hear some "Nigerian prince" ran off with your money.

I don't know the response rate but it's probably lower than that of the "former Nigerian Oil Minister's" emails, lol.Ryan, come on, we've got the best legislators money can buy.

Internet Rental Scam: If you have a property listed on the internet, you must read this..If you currently have your home listed for sale and/or rent-to-own on ANY popular website (CraigsList, Rental Properties, Buy Owner, etc.) please be aware of a scam that has been making the rounds for most of this past year.This specific scam is originating out of cyber cafes located in the little known Republic of Liberia (you are probably more familiar with the Republic of Nigeria to the east, and the popular e:mail scams that promise huge payouts from the Nigerian lottery, or requests from a Nigerian diplomat who needs assistance in moving cash out of his country).

They say they are royalty from an African country (dont want to name it) and are P'd off that I would want to run back ground checks. ...Let me guess: Nigeria :)Another variant on the Nigerian scam!

I am almost to the point of just emailing them for fun.... like Nigerian email scammers...

@Yoshimi B.Version of Nigerian scam.

bottom line is they talk a great game give you terms that you think you found a fold mine..etc.. nothing more than a sophisticated Nigerian  prince scam.

Anyway, without a plausible explanation of WHY he MUST be cashed out by the end of next week, plus all the other issues, I'd refer him to Dangboo, the son of a Nigerian prince who needs to deposit millions of dollars in your account...

@Karl Krentzel  on another thread that was going around yesterday there is a bunch of fraud going on right now with bogus buyers and sellers trying to snake small dollars out of investors.And for that reason alone many Realtors chimed in that their brokerages now require verified prequals before they will show property or write offers.. this to keep agents from getting abused and others getting ripped off by this new wave of Nigerian sucker stuff.And again along with the reality at least in our market No prequel and your not going to buy much if anything..

@Morgan NilsenAm a Nigerian but presently working in the Uae.
