Well, here's another one for you. My nephew was trying to sell his Xbox and got caught up in the kijiji-Nigerian-paypal scam like everyone else here. We figured it out before he shipped, thankfully. However, almost a month later, I get his phone bill and realize he sent 68 text messages to US numbers (we're in Canada and he learned his lesson a year ago about text messaging area codes he didn't know...and he swears he was given a local area code phone number to text to about the sale of the item).  After googling the phone number he supposedly text messaged (Rogers was kind enough to provide it to me), I found this forum and everything now makes sense. So, for those of you just looking at your phone bills now, if you text messaged with this Nigerian scam artist jerk about selling your items, you're in for a rude shock and hopefully your mistake will only cost you $20 in text messages like my nephews cost me.
I wanted to add this on this board because everyone's posts about the scam helped me realize what my phone bill was..and hopefully will help someone else out there as well. Phone numbers 2013401578 and 7623590812 are what appeared on his phone bill, FYI...I really hope these people get caught!!
