Wasn't sure where to post this, but figured it worth posting.

Received this email:
Yes, I am looking to sell my last mtg collection of 10,000 rares, and 200 revised dual lands, and two beta power nine sets for $4,000. I accept paypal (the address is: mtg_asian_girl@yahoo.com) if you want to buy now. I can be reached at (850) 591-4109 and I will answer the phone if you call me today.



My loss is your gain! … The 10,000 mtg rare cards are all in near mint condition. The 200 revised dual lands are also all in very good condition. I also have two complete beta power nine sets (the 18 beta power nine cards). I think that the value of these cards is well over $100,000 and my asking price of $4,000 is extremely reasonable. Please call me at (850) 591-4109 in advance to purchase. I live in Miami, Florida and I have kept these 10,218 all rare cards (estimated) in very good condition.

From: Patricia Chen <mtg_asian_girl@yahoo.com>Hide Add to: To Do, Calendar To: mtg_asian_girl <mtg_asian_girl@yahoo.com>

Anyone else receive an email from this person?
Keep on the lookout.

Heads up,
Jesse

If you want a hilarious story it might be worth it to fly down there and play along. Make sure to record everything with a hidden mic!

I got it too. I got pretty deep with it though. Sent a phone number and I called it, some guy answered and said "my sister told me someone is supposed to call about a Magic Collection" I just hung up lol.

I said I would be willing to buy if they sent half of the collection first and the other half upon receipt. They declined obv, and then told me to fly down to FL and meet in person. Obviously not doing that, then I stopped responding to the emails.

The phone number is from Talahassee, FL. Said his name is Daniel. The link from Azn's post above seems like its that guy....addresses are from Tallahassee in there as well.

Ask if he has free unopened beta boosters that only cost $10 for shipping. Seems legit.

I have gotten 3 more of the EXACT same original email about the collection today, lol. More was added to the bottom, bluntantly saying paypal me the $4,000 now, and bluntantly saying this is not a scam. This person is seriously trying to email everyone they can in hopes that someone just sends money, lol.

Lives in the ghetto. Hah. Might make something happen. Can anyone link me to specific scams/fraud that have succeeded? Who knows, maybe I can get a police to come with.

I seriously doubt this joker has succeeded. Other than repqcks, gamers arent too susceptible to scams

Wow, haven't heard from Daniel in a few years. You'd think he'd try a different angle, but that's the same one. He's been at it for what around 8-10 years now?

Yeah, I remember reading about this when I started on MOTL. He must be somewhat successful, otherwise he wouldn't be doing this over and over again, would he?
