viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6527Advance Fee Variation of this scam:
The advanced fee fraud variation may be directed at either gender and a romance component may or may not be involved. In this variation, the scammer will tell you he has a large amount of money stashed away and needs help getting it out of the country. He will tell you he got the money through any one of a number of fanciful lies, the most common being: a payment from a government contract or money "found" while on duty.
The scammer will explain that he needs to get the money out of the country by some form of courier, a "diplomatic courier" is a very common lie here.
He will introduce you to other characters which he plays himself. These may include a barrister, a "diplomatic" courier company, banker, etc. In every scenario, there will be fees needing to be paid in advance of completing the transaction of moving the supposed monies.
The scammer will usually ask for these fees to be paid through a cash wiring service such as Western Union or Money Gram, offering you a large portion of the non-existent "stash" in exchange for your assistance.
Like all advanced fee fraud scams, regardless of how many fees you pay, there will be no end to them and you'll never collect a large sum of money. The large fund does not exist.
