just registered cause I recently put up a ad for a roommate and got a nice e-mail from an Irish Girl wanting to rent. Well At first I was open, then I started to get suspicious after a few e-mails. So being that I am by trade a computer security expert, I decided to play this thing out to the end to see what is going on. Anyhow I am now to the point where the scammer has sent me a cashier's check for $3800. Luckily I have a Business account with my local bank so I can get the check verified for like $10. Once I get my Bank to verify it, I will then move onto having some fun. Anyhow here is the latest exchange of e-mails and the origional one
Okay, thanks a great deal. Kindly let me know all the necessary information needed after you are through with the transaction tomorrow.
Looking forward to meet you soon.
Regards.

Hello,
Yes I did miss the UPS man today. Unfortunately by the time I got your e-mail I was already at the office as was anyone else who could have gotten the note up. I will ensure that it is picked up after hours or tomorrow on redeliver. As for my Work schedule, I will be available to pick you up regardless of what time it may be. One of the privileges of being an executive is that I can schedule myself to be out of the office as need be so picking you up is not a problem on my end.
