Are the Chinese becoming the New Scammers doing 419?

Question

I just received this scam email in my inbox and want to warn people not to deal with Chinese "sellers" promoting goods at cheaper prices and asking for payment via Western Union or Money Gram:

"Dear friends,

I am appreciate the products in the www.ebeybjolympic.com , such as Laptops, Digital Cameras, Videos, GPS, Cellphone, Mp3, Mp4, electronic guitar, its price reasonable and competive,not only this, they always try their best to give the best service to every customers! The customers can get what whey want to !if you need someproducts, you can click www.ebeybjolympic.com

i am sure that they will make you be content!you could add their MSN:[e-mail] "

If you send them any money you will get nothing in return. It seems that unscrupulous Chinese people are now becoming notorious as Nigerians in conducting online and Western Union fraud.

Answer 1

what about those unscrupulous american soldiers in iraq, eh?  those ppl who take advantage of poor iraqis in haditha?  american soldiers...tsk tsk.  

its the same thing, innit?  ppl can be unscrupulous no matter where they're from.  the vast majority of our armed forces are wonderful, brave, patriotic ppl, but there's some who'd stoop to disgusting levels (see abu graib, mahmoudiyah, mukaradeeb).  and thats giving the entire armed forces a bad name.  just like you are with the chinese and nigerians.

and im sure ppl are smarter than you give them credit for.  if you think it's a scam, most other ppl would too (or otherwise, all those unscrupulous american doctors telling me i have a penile disfunction really do have my best interests at heart, and i should probably visit those websites they gave me)

Answer 2

wow, you need to not label these chinese people and Nigerians as a whole...cause its not only them who send these scams out. You dont have to be a genious to know that those emails are a scam.
