Ok, I was able to spot this scam before losing some serious money, too. I have been conversing with this person about my craiglist sale posting and today, I received two $2,500 in Money Order today which was waay more than what the agreement was for. Obviously, this screamed, "SCAM ALERT" loud and clear. I found this to be very dumb and unprofessional. At least make it for the right amount... then it may seem more credible.
From hotmail, you can turn on the "Advanced Message Headers" to look at the IP address and determine where your message is coming from. I was able to trace the email coming from the following IP Address:
80.179.251.3
Using an IP Address Locator, I was able to trace this back to Lagos, Nigeria. A definite indicator that this was a Nigeria Scam to me.
On the money orders (which were TravelerExpress MoneyGram - International Money Order), it states, "Payable Through WF National Bank South Central Farlbault, MN", which does not seem to exist based on searches from the Internet, however, it did give me this link where I found this forum.
The money order also lists "Issuer/Drawer: Travelers Express Company, Inc", but does not list an address. I found that to be odd.
I have to admit, the money order does look genuine and it even has a small area where it states, "To Authenticate Rub Here", which does not seem to be do anything.
Another indicator that something suspicious was going on was the envelope. The postal stamp says "Espana" and it looks like it was sent through (by way of the location stamping) Murcia, Spain. There was also no return address on the envelope.
There was also a sense of urgency in the emails from this person and it started to sound really fishy. They mentioned things like, "You are not to send the rest funds via paypal but western union ok...After sending the money via WESTERN UNION,my shipper will come around to do the pick up ok..again,do not send the difference thur paypal but via western union ok...?" I mean, how can you read that and not know that something is up? It sounded very routine and demanding.
Does anyone know where/who I can report this to? -- or where I can send the fake money orders to? These money orders are too rough to use as toilet paper.

I keep getting e-mails similar to this one I just recieved recently and they are all about the same just different people.
Greetings to you Mr Edward ,
l am Dr.Mrs Judith Mokoulou , senior Accountant working in a bank here in Republic of Benin West Africa.lknow my mail must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners.I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you. Like I said, I have a transaction that will benefit both of us, as your assistance is required as a foreigner.
I use to head the Accounts department in my bank head office, but last year October I was transferd to one of our Bank branch in Cotonou because the person in charge of the branch here passed on, so that was how I became the present head accountant in the bank , during when I was auditing all the account As I resumed duty,I discovered a fortuned,l discovered an account with total sum of $28.1,000,000 million(twenty eight million one hundred united states dollars) that has not been operated on for the past years. From my investigation, I found out that this account belongs to one Late Dr.George Brumley Jr from Atlanta, a retired physician , also an Oil dealer, who unfortunately lost his life including that of his entire 3 generations family in a charter plane crash in kenya in July 20th 2003
YOU CAN VIEW THE SITE BELOW;
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html
I have kept a close monitoring of the account since then and nobody has come forward to claim the money as next of kin to the late Late Dr.George Brumley Jr ad fromfurther investigation l found out that he died alongside his whole family members leaving nobody with the knowledge of the fund,and as a matter of fact I cannot directly take out this money without the help of a foreigner because this is occasioned by the fact that the deceased customer was a foreigner and also a Beninois cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for an assistance to claim the funds and share it with me. As the head accountant bank in my bank branch, I have the power to influence the release of the
funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the account, with the correct information concerning the account, which I shall give to you.
I am seeking your co-operation to present you as the next of kin to the account. There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.If you accept to work with me, I agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account,10% will be set aside for expenses incured during the business. The 10 % will go back to you after the transaction.and 60 % would be for me. There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Contact me as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work together, so we can go over the details and I will send to you by email the text of the application.Please, treat with utmost confidentiality. I wait your urgent response
Regards
Dr.(Mrs) Judith Mokoulou

I recieved this e-mail a few days ago and had reason for suspicion, because I know there is a Susan Harrison-Tustain who is a famous artist. This is not her.

Hello,
Good day to you, my name is Susan Harrison, I am an artist , and the
owner
of Susan Art World .I live and work in London with my two kids, 2 cats,
one
dog and the love of my life ,my husband James Harrison. It is
definitely a
full house.
I have been into artwork since childhood. That gives me
years of experience. I majored in Art in high school and took a few
college
Art courses. Most of my work are done in either pencil or airbrush
mixed
with color pencils. I have recently added designing, ancient
antiquities and
creative artworks on the computer. I have been selling my art for the
last 3
years and I have had my work featured on trading cards, prints and in
magazines. I have sold some of my art works to some private companies
in
United States of America .
But I do face some difficulties when it comes to Payment , because all
my
customers in America always offer to pay me with U.S
POSTAL MONEY ORDERS, and I find it very difficult to cash the U.S
POSTAL
MONEY ORDERS in London, This is because the British Government does not
permit the usage of U.S POSTAL MONEY ORDERS in Britain.
Right now, I'm searching for a representative in United States that
will be
able to cash the MONEY ORDERS in America and wire the available funds
to me
in Britain.
Who to trust are my problems. I’ve series of arrangements with the FBI
in
Washington, in attempt for anyone to make away with my funds;
definitely the
law will cash-up him, and definitely will face the consequences.
You are entitled to 10% commission for any transaction(that is for any
money
order cashed ).This transaction is risk free and legal from the
American
Government.
Please get back to me with your Complete Name,Residential Address and
Telephone Number if you are interested.
Once again this transaction is 100% risk free and legal from the United
States Government and the British Government, so feel free about this
transaction and get back to me with the required information's to
enable us
proceed. Thanks for going through this proposal.
My warmest Regards and thanks for your anticipated assistant,
Susan Harrison-Justain.
