Greetings,
I hope you and your family are in good health! I need a quick and urgent favor from you. I need to get an Amazon gift card for my Niece, it's her birthday but i can't do this now because i am currently out of town and isolated till 19th of this month as advised by my doc. Pls can you get the card from any nearby store around you or Tesco, I'll pay back as soon as i get back and okay. Please let me know if you can handle this.

Thanks and stay safe,

I owe you a lot

Oh, it's already gone, via a report scam method.

Not quite your usual Dr Mumbo-Gumbo with $2gazilion to split...

I once sold some brake calipers on ebay. Guy said he would send a cheque. The cheque arrived but is was for £1,000 , not £100 the brakes were. I contacted him and he said it was a mistake, bank the cheque and send the balance here .............
I took the cheque into work ( Bill's garage) and we successfully lifted a good print. Matched to a wanted guy believed living in Nigeria. The cheque was stolen.
