Then I got 6 MO....for $ 850 each,what really made me worry was that tha name of the person who mailed them to me was different then the name of the person who purchased the money orders...so I got suspicious...and emailed back this:
hi there,yes I did receive the money orders but for some reason I feel that this is not kosher for me.I will mail your money orders back to the sender today.
It just does not feel right to make that kind of money for doing soo little.I am sorry but I do not wanna get into any kind of trouble.The money orders will be sent back to the p.o box that were sent from.Let me know if u want thouse sent somewhere else.I am sorry but ,please dont send me any more.I reallly feel this is not for me.
Corina

what about money orders from bank one are they fake too????
2005-12-27 11:24:45 -
Here is how you deal with them. Tell them you cashed the check and it got returned 4 money orders got returned and that they owe you $100 and demand your money from them when they call its so funny. You yell at them on the phone " Where is my money send me money!!!" meanwhile never cash their checks just keep asking to send you the right one. Or you can send them $5 and alert the local police to wait for these guys at the western union. I bet you they are dumb to show up and get arrested over $5 dollars.

I received a letter from London a couple of days ago. There was no return address on it and in it was four money orders. Each are 1,000. each. They were purchased on 08/10/2005. I talked to some one at the beginning of this month about babysitting there kid while they were in town. They said they were from Spain. I thought that some how it was connected.I e-mailed them and asked what was the status on the baby sitting job and I nee the dates they were going to be in town. They replied me by asking me if I received the check. I told them no but I still need the information so I can plain ahead. They then told me to take 750.00 out of what they sent me and then send them the rest. I never told them I received any money so now I know that the money orders were from them. I know they are stolen.What do I do now and how can I get them back to the oiginal purchaser or can I even do that.

Well guys to prevent these guys activitie is simple dont engage them its useless to frustrate yourself and antagonize em no thats not the answer. When dealing with them be a gentleman or ladylike and be very nice to them put them at ease and at carelessness and just where ever this email originate from write to the email server admin and tell them about the fraud and let them trace this guys. Let the police handle. Also the mail you get from these guys try to handle it by the edges put it in a plastic bag and give it to your local police department maybe they are able to take some prints of of it and catch these guys.

I talked these people and they seemd so business like. Im so glad that another person placed and aid on craigslist.com to warn it of a scam because I was going to cash the check as soon as I got it. Now I'm just going to ignore them and then if they keep bothering me, I'm going to report them. Good thing for sites like these because my suspicions after the scam alert ad on craigslist.com led me here.
2005-12-22 18:08:19 -
I would like to know if anyone knows how to report these scams because I also have be contcted by susart. She calls her self Shannon Bryant: [email protected] also [email protected]

I also have recieved money orders with no return address and no name of the person sending them, however I recieved this from some woman I urge you to BEWARE OF THIS. If you know any further info on this person please contact me.
Dear Friend,
My name is Susan Bryant, I am an artist with my husband James Bryant,We own SUSART WORLD in London(United Kingdom)I live in London United Kingdom, with my two kids, four cats, one dog and the love of my life my husband James Jones. It is definitely a full house, I have been doing artwork since I was a small child That gives me about 23 years of experience I majored in art in high school and took a few college art courses Most of my work is done in either pencil or art brush mixed with color pencils.
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.
But the problem i have is trust, i have made arrangement with the FBI in Washington,that if anybody gets away with my money they will definately get hold with the person,and the person will go to JAIL for LOOTING my funds , you are to receive the MONEY ORDERS PAYMENT which will be sent to you by the FEDEX or UPS from my business partners, which would come in form of a MONEY ORDER then you are to take it to your bank account to enable you cash it and send the money cashed for the MONEY ORDERS to me via WESTERN UNION OR MONEY GRAM.
NOTE: All charges of 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, please get back to me as soon as possible via email.
N: B, Please send to me the listed information below:
#Your full name:
#Your full home address,
#Your age,#Occupation and as well your #marital status, and your,#direct contact telephone number,
I will be needing your home address, so that I will send the MONEY ORDERS to you via FedEx or overnight shipment.
Thanks for your assistant and God bless,

To stop the Nigerian/Mexican/UK scam mails, play around with one. Go along with the story, get your fake money orders, tell them you cashed then, tell them a bunch of lies, give a cell phone number that you can change easily. Once they think you have cashed a check, they will call non-stop.
Then you tell them off. Give them the website address of this site, send copies of your messeage to them to all the other scammers. Keep all the e-mail names & address's in a file. Each time a new scammer writes, send them all the e-mails of the others. Tell them to work it out with these other people who have too much money also.
That is what I did with the pet buyer scammers. I was getting 3 to 5 of them per day. I haven't had one in a week. I think they probably have a office of business. Once a scam business finds out you're on to them, they will take you off their list.
