    Rodney, he claims to be in the UK, I would guess he's more likely in Nigeria.

    In one of the messages he sent you, you can look at the message headers and identify what IP address his hosting site originated it. More than likely, it's not in the us. This site helps break it down and easier to read.

    https://mxtoolbox.com/EmailHeaders.aspx and paste in the headers. Then analize

    Scammers rank right up there with thieves and the death penalty wouldn’t hurt my feelings one bit.

    At work we have an IT department that when not busy they have the phone numbers of scammers and our phone guy can call using a bogus number. I heard them today call some scammer saying he was with the SS office trying to get a credit card number. Our guys carry on with them until they realize that they were being hood winked and the scammer talks sh.t back to them. I asked our guys why do you do that and their answer is as long as they keep them on the phone they can’t be screwing with someone else.

    Small world. Turns out I actually have an uncle in Nigeria. Sadly he recently passed but it just so happens that I'm his closest living relative. Once I sent Nigerian customs their pittance, I'll be in a good spot.

    That's a new slant on an old scam.

    I got the same thing. I asked him where he lived and his phone number. He did reply with Alaska, but gave me a LA California phone number. He never responded again. Weird scam.

    I'm giving my info for a heck of a center console at 1/2 price. They deliver the boat and I have 5 days to look it over before ebay releases the money to them. I cant wait for it to get here!

    As soon as a get my inheritance from a guy in Europe with the same last name as me, that died with no family around, an insider at the bank found me on google. I'll say I'm kin and we are to split the millions once the deal goes through. I'm going to go on a spree and buy all kinds of toys.
