Zacznę od istotnej puenty:
Nawet, jeśli dostaniesz już pieniądze na konto - to nie znaczy, że
wszystko jest OK (przeczytaj angielski tekst poniżej).

I pytania: gdzie się wrzuca takie przypadki?

Wczoraj zagadnięto mnie na Skajpie, odpowiedziałem, pogawędziłem.
"Osoba" bardzo nalegała, abym dodał ją do kontaktów.
Przedstawiła się jako Juliet Ntola (Kumasi, Ghana), którą wylano ze szkoły.
Przepytałem ją(?) wstępnie z wiedzy o Ghanie i przeszła test pozytywnie ;)
Od typowego, opisywanego N.Sz. różniło się to tym, że prosiła wprost o
pieniądze na czesne, nawet niewielkie kwoty nie obiecując nic w zamian,
żadnych milionów dolarów.

Poszperawszy trochę trafiłem na tekst:

"I had an experience which I would like to share with others. I was
lucky and lost no money, but the method was so good that I fear it might
affect many people out there. Would be great if you could post my report
on your great website.
Was chatting to a lady I met in one of those friendfinder matchmaking
sites. She told me she was a model (which I believed of course due to
the attractive pics she sent). She lives in Nigeria...
After a few messages she needed me urgently for a special 'transaction'.
Her model agency from UK booked her for a shooting session, but they
only pay via cheque. Since the poor lady does not have any bank account,
she cannot cash-in the cheque. So she needs me as her "agent" to cash
the cheque to my account and send the money to her. Via Western Union
(!) A little experienced of scams, I doubted all of that. The lady began
to ask me to send her some money in advance (never do that!). I waited
and was totally sure I will never receive any cheque...
Big surprise, I received an international mail with a cheque enclosed,
5000 Euro on my name! Wow this was the first time I thought that maybe I
was misled and this poor lady was really serious and trusted me so much
that she sent me 5000 Euros through her model agency!
Brought the cheque to the bank and asked them whether it was valid. They
said it looks ok, and submitted it. One day later my bank account
received the 5000 Euros! Wow I was feeling bad to have mistrusted this
beautiful lady, and wanted to get the 5000 Euro to send it to her
immediately via Western Union.
Thank God my bank told me that having the money on my account does not
necessarily mean that the cheque is valid! A foreign cheque needs at
least 7-10 days to get checked. So they advised me to wait at least for
that period.
Ok I waited (had a hard time because I feared that I kept this money
from that nice lady for myself without trust) and on the 10th day,
exactly when I wanted to send the 5000 Euros via Western Union, the bank
called and told me that the cheque had been refused because it was a fake!
Oh wow this was close. So this was a typical scam from Nigeria. No idea
whether this lady is really existing, or if she maybe has just been
used. Regardless, whover was behind this fake, they almost made me lose
5000 Euros! Ok I did not get damaged, and especially the Nigeria Scam
sites on the Internet helped me a lot and warned me to be careful -
that's why I wanted to post this experience to all of you. There are
lots of poor nice sexy African ladies out there in the Internet, and I
still hope that most of them are for real (NO, they are not! - J.W.)
But if you ever get a cheque from them, please be careful and wait for
verification. You might save a lot of your own money!"
