I haven’t got one also, but there were countless ol’ version of these Nigerian scam type.
I agree on using PayPal, less hassle and very practical. I once responded to the scam and ask them to send the fund using e-gold instead :p ..

Good post. I’ve had these scammers actually send me a check that I never even asked for, then send me an email about how I owed them the difference. Right.

BTW, I found you through iBlogCup – voted for ya.

I haven’t receive such kinds of offer before or maybe I had, but it just falls into the spam section of my e-mail account.

Anyway, I won’t get tricked after all since I always check and recheck the details with my advertisers and I only accept PayPal as a method of transaction.

Also, I am not able to issue any cheques. Perhaps this is the reason I am not getting such scam mails.
