She claims that she is now in UK and want me to send the camera to her nephew, currently in in west africa working with British American tobacco company. Then, she wants me to send her the total cost of the item with the shipment cost via DHL Courier service. And she will be making my payment via Bank to Bank Transfer for safety and seurity measure.

Your contact Number

A very strong feeling on this one. haha. all the emails are from Jully Chan ([email protected])
help me out guys. Im pretty sure this is a scam, what do you think?

You have good reason to be suspicious. The scenario you are describing is very typical scam.

I'm not certain from what you have written if this person is claiming to be British, but the English tells me "she" clearly is not. Even the small sample of "her" English that you provided is consistent with an African author, and of course scammers often claim to be physically located in one country while demanding items be shipped to another.

If you can post the full headers here, we can see if they reveal a true location--but even if we can't, I would NOT recommend pursuing this sale.

Hello Jarrod!

No need to apologize for your English it reads perfectly well. You are correct this is a scam. The scammer will send you a fake bank transfer notification telling you that you need to send them the tracking number for your item. Or they will tell you to send the shipping cost to "DHL" which will just be the scammer playing another charecter. Either way it's an attempt to steal your item and/or your money.

Did the scammer send you any websites for the "bank" or "DHL"?

TQ Dotti.

Justin. Hmm Havent but I dont think there will be any chance for him, because I told him to get the fuck off, 5minutes ago.

Hi sam123,

it is 100% scam.
Sorry you are emotionally involved, but you must drop contacts with him. The only thing he wants is your money.
He feels nothing for you. No love. No affection.
