I would guess those IP's are nearly impossible for the average person to track. I'm sure everything was sent via multiple proxies.

It's funny they sent me a check for 7500 wanted me to cash the check and then send 3000 to the place that was going to ship the truck... They even used a legitamate companies name out of LA to put on the check.. Thank god I am no fool and took it to the Wells Fargo where the check was from and had them try to cash it.. Called the local FBI but they said it happens to often for them to care... Pure shit... Who tracked down Bezerk Fury and got all his info????

I wouldn't bother, you have nothing to gain by chasing some nigerians ;) BF wasn't found via IP search.

How was he found then.. Well I think that they are out of LA and if so, I would love to see the scum buckets arrested or at least get a visit.. I know a few people that live down there and have ties to Law enforcement..  ;D ;D ;D

From memory, I think he was found via searches done on facebook or something similar, nothing high-tech..

The nigerians are in nigeria not the US let alone LA, they're just resourcefull in obtaining information to appear legit.. They have been doing these scams for almost 20 years.

Stupid fuck' is fucked I am gonna do my best to find out who their people are in LA....

Be real careful of that. What they do often do is to send a forged check or money order for say $7000, then have you send them a Western Union for $5000. You think you've made 2 grand, but in reality, the check or money order is forged, the $7000 deposit to your account gets reversed, but you have just sent them $5 G's from your account.

yeah that's why I took it to the bank where the check was from. I do not ever deposti checks in my account except my paycheck. I cash everything else at the bank the check is from.

Check the headers on the emails to get the IP's of mail servers.

Problem is like someone mentioned is, unless they're retarded they'll be using one or more proxies.

You shouldn't have fired the FBI bullshit at him, you should have worked the fucker like a Thai ladybody works pensioner cock.

There's famous cases where people had the Nigerian scammers do ridiculous shit...

Hello,

I need your service for my company.... I came across your advert via internet and due to the level of urgency  for the vacant position which we need to be occupied asap...


We would be appointing you as our Regional account coordinator in the  USA  and you will be well paid in commission terms.  Here are your duties: we shall send you a package of bulk checks and money order  from our district headquarters in africa as our forms of payment to our clients which you will always be issuing to our clients for payments of goods and services within the united state that we buy from them at any point in time...


All the blank checks which you will receive in a package,will be mailed out to my clients via  USPS priority mail since it is the cheapest and will  take two days...So on each checks you will write the clients name and  amount we instruct you to write and at the back of each  envelopes you will write the client's full name and address too and you will get everything  posted out.


I hope you understand how you will get it handled properly though,i will  give you instructions to follow and do not cash any of the checks  personally or without my consent cos you and i must be accountable for all  checks/amount issued or mailed out to clients since we shall both be  reporting to the Headquarters in Switzerland.Very soon,I will be needing  your international passport cos the company might get a Swiss visa for you  if you perform up to expectations.....


I hope you understand every bit of my message completely so we can get  started asap.About your salary,we shall always pay you at the end of every  month the sum of $1200.. NB:As soon as we get started,you will be receiving  the money order /checks  and i will send you instructions on quantity/amount to send to each  clients.


I will give you details on their names and addresses which you  write on the envelopes for perfect delivery..Do avoid any mistake and if  you do not understand any aspect,send me an email immediately to explain  further to you....So go and buy large quantity(100 pieces) of small mailing envelopes shaped for letters ahead of the bulk package that you will  receive....

Also go to your nearest UPS office and order air way bills  of 100 pieces and they will let you know when it will be delivered to you so pls confirm  this from the nearest UPS office....


i will be expecting your response with the below details to get started


Name:
Address:
City:

I've had an incredible string of luck myself in the last year. Multiple Nigerian Dukes, and even a Duchess or two, have solicited my help in escaping. I guess the one that I sent 2500 USD to must have told the others about me. As soon as they all clear customs and whatnot I'm expecting to really cash in. I also hit several international lotteries...and I don't even play the lottery!

But on the chance you were conned, and it wasn't  a legitimate windfall, like my offers, then no, you won't be able to do anything. Interpol, the FBI, major news organizations and every other investigative group in the world is trying to break these con artists, with almost no success.

Unless, of course, you happen to be running around haunted houses in a van with a talking dog. You meddling kids, you.

Niggeria, Benin... always the same.

Why do you need to "track" the ip anyway? The nigerian government has failed a lot recently trying to stop frauds, and since 90% of the nigerian population are scammers, they dont have enuff space @ jail.

Use lc, end of problem.

Something similar happened to a friend of mine, they tried to buy a bike with a $3500 "cashiers check".....it was no good, when he told them the FBI were on the case, they shit themselves and sent him an email telling him he fucked up and he shouldn't do that, that they were going to file a complaint against him for ripping them off...etc...etc....he forwarded the info to the FBI and never heard from them again.

Called the local FBI but they said it happens to often for them to care... Pure shit... Who tracked down Bezerk Fury and got all his info?

Every day, these people find a name of a company, and their legitimate bank account, and then send thousands of 'checks' to suckers who will cash it for them and send them money. They change the name of the company and bank account every few days because once the real company finds out, they put a halt to it immediately, and any legitimate person who cashed the check, the bank will then withdraw the amount from their own bank account. They get screwed either way.

Police wont do crap about it, it happens every day.

Face it people, if it is too good to be true, it is. No one will give you free money.

Why in the world would you even attempt to cash the check?

I would just shred it with the paper shredder, and burn the scraps.

BTW, I have a bridge to sell ya, if you are interested.
