Another form of the Nigerian letter came to a friend of mine living in Nevada. He owns a computer store and here came an order for 50 modems. With a check. He sent the check to the bank and ordered the modems.

The check bounced.

But the modems had arrived and he was on the hook for a modem design that the company would not accept back in their inventory.

Bottom line. It cost him 10,000 dollars and for months the Nigerians demanded their modems. He was even taken to court by a hired lawyer.

Yep, his check bounced also.
