Hello all,
I just wanted to warn you all before some of you fall into the same trap and make the same mistake that I did.
To cut a long story short I had an _expression_ of interest for my laptop by Sandra (sandrawills1976@yahoo.com) At first there was regular communication and then an email was sent via her supposed financial institution onlinetransfernotification@ bankofamerica.com advising that if I provided a traking number and sent the laptop then the funds would land in my account.
I then received an email stating the following;
Dear Customer,
We are sorry to inform you that your money is ready to be transfered into your account for the past three days but unfortunately there was a problem with our system during the transaction from Mrs Sandra Williams account we mistakenly transfer over what we surpose to transfer from her account which is ($250), so when we contact her she let us know that she need the money to be send to her client in NIGERIA for bussiness purpose so we are using this opportunity to appologised from you and to please assist us by sending the rest of the money to her client in NIGERIA via western union money transfer so that the whole money can be transfered into your account because we can not refund the money back to her account due to some problems we are facing for now, so pls kindly send the non refundable money ($250) to her client in NIGERIA so as to have your account credited with immediate effect we are very sorry for this and for any inconvinience that we might have caused you pls we will appreciate you do this as soon as you received our message.
Thanks for your corporation.

Perhaps in my haste to sell the laptop and pay off my credit card debt I missed the obvious. Perhaps I placed too much faith in someone who I knew little about. I do know this, that I am to blame a little as I sent the laptop to her. I am now out of poket one perfectly functioning notebook and an additional $149.00 that I spent in order to send it to the U.S.
I have sent Sandra William's multiple emails and have received nothing but excuses. I have a snowballs chance in hell of ever seeing that money again.
Please don't make the same mistake that I did. Believe me, I've called myself an idiot everyday now for the past 3 weeks.
Take care.
David.
