This is just to alert ppl doing business online of the scammer using the following details: Name: Clement Caminus Address: Agbowo IU, City: Ibadan
State: Oyo
Zip Code: 23402
Country: Nigeria
Phone: 2348094720643
[email protected]

I sell laptops online to buyers in Nigeria and i advertise for free at dealfish.com. It was from my ads on d site the idiot with the above details contacted me and was trying to get me to send him 6 new laptops and that he was going to send the payment to my account. Each time i tell him the requested laptop was out of stock and xyz was the one available, without hesitation he suddenly wants to buy all of xyz!

Initially i was not suspicions but i have done lots of business with Nigerian and the like to see what they are buying before parting with cash but in this case "Clement Caminus" or whatever his real name is was too keen about making payment and me sending the laptops... so i became suspicious and googled his name but nothing came out. But when i googled the address "Agbowo IU, City: Ibadan State: Oyo Zip Code: 23402 Phone: 2348094720643" it came up in scamwaners! "simlinks on Wed Dec 15, 2010 7:46 am" gave a notification that a different name but with the same address was engaging in scamming activities on gumtree.

I called the number "Clement Caminus" provided and said i was was looking for Dave (a name i made up), he said he was Dave, from the mail we had sent each other just hrs b4 where he told me he was sick and in a place called Enugu i asked if it was Dave in Benin and he said yes! but he refused to carry on any further communication because my number was hidden.
Hence i decided to get registered on this site to make people aware that the scammers are still alive and well and looking for more victims.

Below is some of the communication i've had with him:

Hi, the last communication i had with u was on June 12 which is 4 days ago. since i did not hear from you i assumed you where no longer interested so i sold the laptops off to other interested persons...
If your are still interested and prepared to wait a bit I will soon take delivery of some Toshiba laptops as well as ACER laptop...
Cheers
