1 000 000 Thai baht = 29 403 U.S. dollars
I better have a short life if that is supposed to last! Of course if I was dumb enough to fly to Thailand to collect it, I probably would have a VERY short life.
They are renting houses now, too
http://chronicle.augusta.com/stories/2009/07/23/met_541778.shtmlAccording to a warning issued Wednesday by the FBI's Columbia field office, a person identified as Nigerian is taking homes listed for sale on other public search sites and is posting them on Craigslist, stating that they are for rent and asking for up-front money.
"After the posting is listed, unsuspecting individuals contact the poster, who is Nigerian, for more information on the 'rental,' " the release states. "The Nigerian scammer will state that they had to leave the country very quickly to do missionary or contract work in Africa and were unable to rent their house before leaving, therefore they have to take care of this remotely.
The FBI warning states the Nigerian person then sends the prospective renter an application and asks for the first and last month's rent to be sent through Western Union. The renter is then told that if they qualify, the keys to the home will be sent to them.
