Couple of bogus emails - Alerts Forum

Unfortunately, I think that I have received to bogus offers. They both
seem to be scams regarding overage payements drawn on foreign banks.
Here are the messages that I have received:

"Happy to hear from you and thanks for the information for the check
payment to be sent to you.I would have love to conclude on phone but my
cell is having a slight problem. The payment will get to you in
certified US bank check of $12,000 within some days .So you are required
to deduct cost of your car $5,000, as soon as check clear in your bank
account kindly refund balance of $7000 to the shipping company via
western union money transfer for them to be able to offset shipping
charges and to clear my goods in south korea . shipping company will
arrive immediately for the pick up and drive to a prepaid shipper and
the car shipped to me while title papers and other necessary documets
will be handed over to shipper at the time of pick up.

Please Confirm this and provide Name to be on check, Home or office
address and Phone Number, check payment to be delivered to you via
courier service."

Sincerely Yours,
Denis..

AND:

"We've just finalized payment issues with our client this evening for
the vehicle and he has informed us that he is expecting a refund payment
of a vehicle that he had earlier ordered and paid for about a month ago
but the order was later cancelled, because when the agent went to pick
up the vehicle, he inspected the order and discovered that the vehicle
was not in any good condition,so the order was cancelled and then he
filed in for a refund of his money. My customer now intends to use his
refund to pay for this your vehicle that he now wants to buy. Due to
company policy and book keeping,this refund payment which he is
expecting, can only be made out in this one whole amount, that is the
full amount which he paid before,because the company policy only allows
a refund payment in one cashier check, so he has to instruct for the
check payment to be drawn to you.So he has informed me that payment will
get to you in a cashier check.He is expecting a refund payment of
$12,700.00USD,so when the payment gets to you,you are required to deduct
the cost of your vehicle which is $5,400.00USD and return the remaining
balance of $7,300.00USD back to our client for him to be able to offset
shipping charges,tax and other commission charges.After all payment has
reached you and balance sent back to our client, the agent will come for
pick up, while you send other the receipt and other title papers to our
client via courier. You are required to forward your payment information
(1)Name,(2)Address and(3)Phone number for payment to be made to you
immediately.Take care and remain blessed.Make sure that the address is
correct to avoid the fund entering in any wrong hand.We will give you a
call but that should be when the shippers must have started coming for
the pickup for you to direct them on how they are going to reach
you.Please one more thing you are required to remove the ads of the
vehicle in the web.Awaiting to hear from you so that we will finalize
everything about this transaction.
Regards,
Management,
Jane."
