It is a shame that we have to constantly watch out for con artists
and scammers in our society. I get so angry, I could blow a fuse. The
worst part is; most of them are from the UK and next to impossible to prosecute. I just want everyone to know about these scams, so they don't
become victims.
Back in Feb. 07, I got an e-mail from someone offering me a job. It
even said; ?Monster?jobs. They wanted me to accept company funds
in the mail from their American customers(money orders and checks)
and keep 10% plus the cost of sending the money by western union.
They also offered me $900.00 per month extra but I would have to
sign a contract. They expressed how legal it is. But saying the tariff
is too much, and it's very hard to cash a check or money order in the U.K. I agreed to the offer, but my gut feeling told me to ?proceed with caution?, so I did.
This offer sounded good. They emphasized how
important it was to get the money to them as quickly as possible.
I received a money order from them in the amount of $2,500.00.
I also received a personal check in the amount of $2,680.00. I took
them to the bank and had a hold put on them. They came back.
The money order was counterfeit, and the check was written on a closed
account.
I urge everyone; If something like this comes your way - Run!
If it sounds easy and profitable, ignore it. They will clean your bank
account out, because you took the money out and gave it to them.
