All you really have to do is google search using "sierra leone email scams!!
We had a similar problem about 2 yrs ago using Ebay and trying to sell some of our vehicles! People from West Africa was trying to scam us out of our money by sending us a fake cashiers check to deposit and then very same day asking us to send them cash (only) by Western Union for shipping of the vehicle! Then by the time the check didnt clear, they already had their money! We had received 4 or 5 checks over 10,000.00!! None were good! Either the routing number was wrong, check #, or the amount. The banks listed on the checks did exist! Now how would someone get a cashiers check from the United States that lives in West Africa?
