【求助】疑似尼日利亚骗局。请教大家有何可疑之处。
最近在向外租房时,碰到一个类似尼日利亚骗局,不能确定,特发上网来请教大家,具体情况如下: 在向外租房时,收到 一个租客的email联系(yahoo 帐号),声称人在英国,来加拿大工作,要求租房。很快谈好有关情宜,我们就要求预付定金1400元。他通过他的加拿大公司邮寄给我们4500支票(TD开户的), 要求我们把余下的钱用Western Union 寄还给他的海运公司(在非洲加纳共和国),以便海运东西。 我们 10月5日将4500 元入帐,上星期周五问银行,表示支票已经clear了。正当我们要寄钱的时候,看到51一则新闻: http://www.51.ca/news/show,news,22130.htm. 越看越看,觉的很是可疑,就告诉他暂时还不能寄,因为钱未到帐。他又来信说,他现在急用钱,已经向他同事借了700了,我们只要把钱寄到他同事的妹妹那里就行了(地址在非洲尼日利亚)。 想请教大家,支票入帐已经超过5个business days,已经银行已经clear了, 还能够再把支票要回来吗? 我就这事问过银行的telephone service, 他们认为(Think)一般是不可以再要回来了,但是他们不保证(garantee)。所以问请教大家,有过类似的经历吗?支票解付后,还能再要回来吗(注意,这个是公司支票,不是个人支票),除了取消支票之外,他们还有什么别的地方可以欺骗的呢。谢谢。 我将会把此事的发展一步步报道给大家。 |

绝对是骗局啦。 1 他加拿大公司为什么不能支付他的海运费用或者直接把钱汇给他而通过你。你想,一个公司向一个没有任何联系的人开支票,公司里面会计怎么做帐?加拿大的会计守则都是吃素的?要是这么容易把钱从公司账户往私人口袋里捣腾,还用得着每年花大笔钱请会计师报税? 2 既然你的银行不能保证以后不向你要回这笔钱,万一真向你要了你怎么办,你和银行打官司吗? 3 他人在英国却用加纳的海运公司,不奇怪么?即便加纳的海运公司在英国有业务,费用也应该交给英国的分公司,不然人家英国政府怎么收税? 4 向同事借钱就更离奇了。他向英国同事借钱,让你还给他同事在尼日利亚的妹妹?我实在是找不到有什么合理的解释他要这样做。 建议报警,就说怀疑他有诈骗嫌疑。 |

我就有过亲身经历,roommate(是白人,不是国移)偷了我的支票,拿了几百元cash掉跑了。然后我到银行报案,银行把钱退给了我,自己承担损失,当然他们有向我的roommate要钱的权利。 |

Tips for Recognizing and Avoiding Fake Check Scams If someone you don’t know wants to pay you by check but wants you to wire some of the money back, beware! It’s a scam that could cost you thousands of dollars. · There are many variations of the fake check scam. It could start with someone offering to buy something you advertised, pay you to do work at home, give you an “advance” on a sweepstakes you’ve supposedly won, or pay the first installment on the millions that you’ll receive for agreeing to have money in a foreign country transferred to your bank account for safekeeping. Whatever the pitch, the person may sound quite believable. · Fake check scammers hunt for victims. They scan newspaper and online advertisements for people listing items for sale, and check postings on online job sites from people seeking employment. They place their own ads with phone numbers or email addresses for people to contact them. And they call or send emails or faxes to people randomly, knowing that some will take the bait. · They often claim to be in another country. The scammers say it’s too difficult and complicated to send you the money directly from their country, so they’ll arrange for someone in the U.S. to send you a check. · They tell you to wire money to them after you’ve deposited the check. If you’re selling something, they say they’ll pay you by having someone in the U.S. who owes them money send you a check. It will be for more than the sale price; you deposit the check, keep what you’re owed, and wire the rest to them. If it’s part of a work-at-home scheme, they may claim that you’ll be processing checks from their “clients.” You deposit the checks and then wire them the money minus your “pay.” Or they may send you a check for more than your pay “by mistake” and ask you to wire them the excess. In the sweepstakes and foreign money offer variations of the scam, they tell you to wire them money for taxes, customs, bonding, processing, legal fees, or other expenses that must be paid before you can get the rest of the money. · The checks are fake but they look real. In fact, they look so real that even bank tellers may be fooled. Some are phony cashiers checks, others look like they’re from legitimate business accounts. The companies whose names appear may be real, but someone has dummied up the checks without their knowledge. · You don’t have to wait long to use the money, but that doesn’t mean the check is good. Under federal law, banks have to make the funds you deposit available quickly – usually within one to five days, depending on the type of check. But just because you can withdraw the money doesn’t mean the check is good, even if it’s a cashier’s check. It can take weeks for the forgery to be discovered and the check to bounce. · You are responsible for the checks you deposit. That’s because you’re in the best position to determine the risk – you’re the one dealing directly with the person who is arranging for the check to be sent to you. When a check bounces, the bank deducts the amount that was originally credited to your account. If there isn’t enough to cover it, the bank may be able to take money from other accounts you have at that institution, or sue you to recover the funds. In some cases, law enforcement authorities could bring charges against the victims because it may look like they were involved in the scam and knew the check was counterfeit. · There is no legitimate reason for someone who is giving you money to ask you to wire money back. If a stranger wants to pay you for something, insist on a cashiers check for the exact amount, preferably from a local bank or a bank that has a branch in your area. · Don’t deposit it – report it! Report fake check scams to the National Fraud Information Center/Internet Fraud Watch, a service of the nonprofit National Consumers League, at www.fraud.org or (800) 876-7060. That information will be transmitted to the appropriate law enforcement agencies |

是一个网友写的,发生在温哥华: 几个月前,我的一位住在温哥华的朋友也被这样一个骗局给骗了,情节跟flatron提供的案例(警惕:小心“尼日利亚骗局”变身重来)及其相似,而且被骗金额更大一些,大约18000加元,不同的只是钱已经被骗走了,那骗子声称是英国的,还是女的。在她汇走那笔钱后,那骗子又寄给她第二张支票,所幸那张支票已经被帐户所有人止付。 这位朋友也是女性,现在银行在向她要钱,可她自己根本也没有那么多钱。银行告诉她支票当初确实已经clear了,但当她把钱汇出之后,支票的帐户主人说支票是被盗涂改的,钱就又被对方银行要回去了。 这位朋友现在处境很艰难,家园里有没有做律师的朋友可以帮一帮她?如果你能提供帮助,请用悄悄话跟我联系,多谢了! 大约一个月前,在North Shore News看到一则新闻,住在西温的一个人一年前用几张假支票从BMO取走了几万加元,被告诈骗逮捕,他供述的情节跟那个骗局也很相似,但他还不了钱,也无法证明他说的骗子存在,结果被判了刑。 是海就有鲨鱼啊! ------------------------------------------ 所以不要贪便宜上当受骗啊!!!!!! |
