I received this same email, except for the wife's name and email address were different. After being told that my application was excepted and where to send the money, giving me their banking info in China. I got suspicious and nervous about sending money with no proof of availability. So I googled the address and found that it was a 3 br house for sale. Then further down in google I found your scam warners post. Thank You so much for posting this and helping myself and others out from losing our money.

Hi ParnelliJo5 and welcome to ScamWarners.

Thanks.

His name is Dominic Hoan Pham This is the email address that original contact came from: [email protected]

Hope this helps others. I am very grateful that I googled the physical address and saw the scamwarners post on this listing.

I can't believe I almost got sucked in... names used from ad found in Vancouver, BC craigslist: Dominic Pham and Nga Nguyen. I also made a photobucket album to post the pics they sent me...I got lucky and realized it was all too good to be true.
