I have about 100,000.00 in counterfiet (fake money orders)from several different "clents/partners" All of them are scams. I have not deposited one cent. As I verfiy funds before depositing. I was burnt once by depositing the funds, they came back counterfiet and my back charges me fees for this. No leagal action was taken as I did not try to spend the money before It cleared. Most of the checks are horrible, you can tell they are fake. But I have had a few that were very good and someone went through alot of trouble to make them. Always verify funds before going to your bank. You can also breath on the back on a water mark should show up if it is real. Or Rubbing certain areas of the check. I have even warned them not to send fraudulent funds as I always check funds, they still send them. Once you try to confrount them, you will not hear from them again.

Subject: Re: RE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!JOB OFFER
Thank you once again for your prompt reply, before I go further I thought I'd inform you of both who you would be working for and what you would be doing. As I have previously already informed you, my name is KELLY NELLY(on Behalf of H & L Art works Limited) 35 years of age, 3 kids, a lovely girl and 2 troublesome kids, and the love of my life. I am a some what multitalented Man and I do quite a lot of traveling and get to meet quite a lot of people. I just resigned my job as a research scientist, but I still work as a freelance consultant for the instistute which gives me very much time to do my own work which is basically being a freelance researcher who could be employed by research institutes to do research projects anywhere in the world. I reside in London, UK and even though I have lived most of my life in other parts of the world, I am fully residing in London. Presently, I have just been granted a funding to head a research project in the tropical regions of West Africa regarding rare and vulnerable plant species and this would be commencing very soon, However my funding were by my American counterparts which sent me the bunch of payments mostly in US based money orders. Getting an accountant in the states or opening an account would have been my best choice but I have a deadline to meet and taking any of those choices would cost me time and a whole lot of other requirements I am not ready to deal with as I would be traveling a lot in the meantime.So presently, assuming you would be able to deal with cash, I would be willing to employ you on contract basis to be my payment representative back in the states, this way I could issue and make these money orders out to you, you could then cash them easily, withdraw 10% of the total amount on these money orders as your commission and then send the rest back to me through Western Union wire transfer. Bear it in mind that we would be dealing with quite a handful of cash and you could be making up to $6000 just working with me in a short period of time. I would be glad if you accept my proposal and I intend to commence on starting as soon as you are ready. If you are interested then we could make concluding arrangements.
Thank You,

Dear,
Would you like to work online from home and get paid weekly ?
MILLER TEXTILES needs a book-keeper in the states, so
I want to know if you will like to work online from home and get paid weekly without leaving or affecting your present job?
It's just that I presently run a textile and fabrics firm I inherited from my late Dad in the UK and we need someone to work for the company as a representative/book keeper in the states.
Our company produces various clothing materials, batiks, assorted fabrics and traditional costume which we have clients we supply weekly in the states.
Our clients make payments for our supplies every week in form of Money Orders, which are not readily cashable outside the United States,
So we need someone in the States to work as our representative and assist us in processing the payments from our clients and we will pay him/her
wage.
ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS RECEIVE THIS PAYMENTS FROM OUR CLIENTS IN THE STATES,GET IT CASHED IN YOUR BANK THEN DEDUCT YOUR WEEKLY PAY AND FORWARD THE
BALANCE TO THE COMPANY DOWN HERE VIA WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER.
Our payments will be issued out in your name and you get them cashed in your bank.
Deduct your weekly salary and forward the balance to the company via
Western union money transfer.
I AWAIT YOUR URGENT RESPONSE.

I know people have the secret desire to get rich quickly - why else, other than the occasional compassion for the "victim"'s unbelievable story, would we succumb to 419 scams?
But, face it... unless you win the lottery or achieve something equally unusual and extravagant, how are you going to manage earning financial freedom without actually working?
I'll be honest with you - I can help you make extra money in a legitimate fashion. Yes, there IS some work involved, but it's a great way to make extra money or even a career if you are very dedicated.
Here's the scoop:
I'm the CEO and President of Custom International Enterprises - http://www.custom-international.com - we are a web design, advertising, and marketing firm that started very recently. No, I am not a 419-er, and no, I will not ask you to forward money from America... what would be the point? I'm an American resident of Gainesville, Florida. Also, no, this is not an offer to become a distributor, and NO, you do NOT have to pay to join. Those pay-to-join jobs are full of it! Why should you have to PAY when you're trying to GET money?!
So, what do you have to do?
Simply find me new clients and earn commission. You get 10% on sites and advertising packages $299 and under, 15% on $300-$499, 20% on $500-$1,000, 25% on $1,100-$4,999 and 35% on $5,000 and over. My average site prices range from $500-$2,000(that's between $100 and $500+ for you PER SITE reference).
If you are interested, e-mail me:
[email protected]
I have contracts binding the name of myself and my company to this agreement, and I pay promptly through a method of your choice: PayPal, check, money order, or wire transfer.

I got an e-mail from "Sus Artwork Inc" and followed through with it. I got sent a check for $20,000 and am still waiting for it to clear and settle before I do anything. It's a completely legitimate payroll check with a watermark on the back and the perforation - as a CEO of a company, I know how to spot bad checks and money orders, and this one went under my radar.
The people I bank with at Wachovia told me it was a real check, too. Before I even deposited it, I called the bank to verify funds, and they were available. Then, I contacted the company directly to ask for the CFO, and it was the man's name on the signature. I was VERY cautious, but so far, I see no reason not to believe this check is, indeed, real.
I requested my bank to put a hold on the check, and I am not even TOUCHING the funds until the end of the month - long enough to allow the check to be returned if it is a fraud.

I have received hundreds of e-mails, all with VERY simmilar verbage, minor details changed, all promising hundreds to thousands of dollars. only a few have come from TRA Holdings, others from people claiming to live in United Arab Emerates, Hong Kong, Japan, etc. I have researched this as far as possible, and cannot figure out why money order cannot be cashed in a foreign country. Some of the e-mails have even mentioned personal checks instead of e-mails. I have seen warnings all over the internet warning of 'stolen' money orders, at places like craigs list and ebay that specialize in person to person sales. they warn that money orders and cashiers checks can be fraudulent.

I have recently been contacted by 4 companies that found my resume on monster.com. One was the SUS Art World that sent $1900.00 in counterfeit money orders and an address in the UK to wire money to.
The second was the TSR Corp that sent over $20,000.00 worth of merchandise which was ordered from Saks, Neiman Marcus, and other stores online, to be forwarded to a man in the Ukraine which was bought with stolen credit cards.
The next was the Gutrans Corp. They "sold" things over Ebay and had the check or money order sent to me to be forwarded to the Ukeraine.
The third was the Crown Oil and Gas Co Ltd in Canada. They sent counterfeit checks to be cashed and the money sent to Nigeria.
I am only writing because I want this to be stopped.

Dear Friend,
My name is Susan Bryant, I am an artist with my husband Tommy Bryant,We own
Susan ART WORLD in London(United Kingdom).
I have recently added designing and creating artwork on the computer, I
have been selling my art for the last 3 years and have had my work featured
on trading cards, prints and in magazines, I have sold in galleries and
to private collectors from all around the world. I am always facing serious
difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to Americans, they are
always offering to pay with MONEY ORDER, which is difficult for me to cash
here in London United Kingdom.
I am looking for a representative in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA who will
be working for me as a par time worker and i will be willing to pay 10%
for every transaction, which wouldn't affect your present state of work,
someone who would help me receive payments from my customers in the states,
I mean someone that is responsible and reliable, because the cost of coming
to the state and getting payments is very expensive, I am working on setting
up a branch in the state, so for now i need a representative in the UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA who will be handling the payment aspect for our company.
These payments are in MONEY ORDERS and they wouldcome to you in your name if
you are willing to assist as a representative, so all you need do is cash
the money order deduct your percentage and WESTERN UNION Charges then wire
the rest back.
NOTE: All charges f the WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER will be deducted from
the money, so you are rest assured that you wouldn't spend a dime out of
your personal money.
If you are interested, N: B, Please send to me the listed information below
to this email add ([email protected])
#Your full name:
#Your full home address,
#Your ,#direct contact telephone number or cell phone,
I will be needing your home address for the shipment of the MONEY ORDERS to
you by my customer’s..
