I was triing to sell an item on recycler.com. I was contacted by a [email protected]. He said he wanted to send me a money order for $3500 and that I should send the remaining money ($2200) via western union to a shipping company. It sounded to good to be true that he was willing to give me $1300 when I was asking $700 OBO. Anyhow, I agreed yesterday to him sending the money. Today a friend of mine told me how his brother got scammed by a guy over the internet from the uk. Then I searched the internet for info. and here I am. I'm sorry to hear about those of you who did get scammed. I'm also greatful for this site for giving people info. on the matter. Please let me know if there is a special agency I should contact when I do recieve the money orders wich I'm sure after reading these letters are fake. I'm in Los Angeles.

Hello Dear,
My name is Kathy Smith,I am an artist with my husband Johnson Smith,We own Century Art World in London(United Kingdon)I live in London United Kingdom,with my two kids,four cats, one dog and the love of my life my husband Johnson Smith. 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 airbrush 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 states who will be working for me as a partime worker and i will be willing to pay 10% for every transaction,which wouldnt affect ur present state of work,someone who would help me recieve 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 state who will be handling the payment aspect for our company.
These payments are in money order and they would come 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,But i have my way of getting anyone that gets away with our money,i mean the FBI branch in Washington gets involve It wouldnt cost you any amount,you are to receive payments which will be sent to you by fedex or ups from my business patners, which would come in form of a money order then u are to cash it and send the cash to me via Western Union or Money Gram.
NOTE:All charges will be deducted from the money so you are rest assured that you wouldnt send a dime out of your personal money.
If you are interested,please get back to me by sending the following

I have recieved 4 Travelers-Express Money Grams payable through WF National Bank of Feribault Mn for a total of $6,000. I was selling a vehicle through CARS.COM for $2500.00. This is an overpayment of $3,500.00 and I am skeptical so I an having my bank run a check on it to see if this is on the level

First, I would like to thank you for the reply.
Now, here is more detail--I hope nobody becomes a victim of online fraud.
Name: Richard Ottis
"German" Company: Document Data Pro, Inc
Email (Which he doesn't reply when you want to find out more info): [email protected]
I found his "job" posting on Craigslist. He made it sound like a legit "Sales" position which is the only reason why I showed interest.
Hope this helps.

I was one step away from taking an online job receiving 10% commission for processing money orders. My first red flag was international shipping companies dont have to use money orders they have bank accounts. There is no way money orders could automatically account for the currency differences.
$50 dollars does not equal 50 pounds or 50 yen.
Secondly with no interview what sound business company would just start sending you large sums of their clients money? What is sad though is that they advertise these jobs on search engines which makes me not trust them now because they obviously dont check to make sure a job posting is from a actual company. Jon Kalo tried to scam me, dont let him scam you, this could be funding terrorism for all we know.

I started chatting online with a man whom I met on a dating website. We chatted for nearly a month before he asked me to do him a favor. He said his banks in Africa were not linked to the U.S. banks so he could not cash his money there. He apparently said he was from Maine, but working as a model in Africa, Lagos, Nigeria to be exact. Well being the nice trusting woman that I am, I received the money orders and deposited them into my checking account. I waited for them to clear (which actually didn't clear yet, had only made the funds available to me) and then wired the money to JOHN ROLLANDES. Well, a few days later, the deposit came back as a returned deposit. I was told there was no account found for the money order and to come into the bank whenever I receive the returned money orders in the mail. In the meantime, I had agreed to receive more money orders to send JOHN $5000 now. Earlier it was $3500. I have the money orders in front of me and I am scared to death to talk to anyone about it. How can we be so trusting???? Now, I had to find $3500 to replinish my checking account and MR JOHN ROLLANDES is running around telling me he didn't know they were counterfeit. I plan to contact my bank as soon as possible and then maybe the FBI. Lord, I pray everything will be alright. I hope I am not charged with using counterfeit money. I live in Missouri. DONT BELIEVE ANYONE ON THE INTERNET ANYMORE, especially one who uses the yahoo messenger id of JOHNROLLANDES080! (why didn't I research this before I cashed the money orders and got in over my head??)

Hello All,
I just received an email saying that if I become "an American representative" for their German Company and cash their money orders or cashier checks, I then get to keep 10% as my commission and wire 90% to their comany overseas. But it must be done within 48 hours as, according to the email sender, it takes too long for them to cash in Germany and it is not profitable for the company. I emailed him back and asked a few questions such as "what happens in case of a counterfeit check" and what is the website of their company (as I couldn't find it on any search engines). I have not received a reply yet.
Has anyone run into anything like this before? I don't want to put anyone's reputation on the line but, if you can post a message to confirm this is a fraud, I will post their information so we are all aware of it.

I contacted by russell erickson email:[email protected], and I recived two money orders, each made out in amount of $2500 ($5000 total). The product price was $750...
I show copy of last email...
thanks for getting back to me. i just received a message from my client, JACK McCULLOCH that the payment sent is of two money orders, each made out in amount of $2500, definately you are correct with your information. one of the money orders is for your items and my shipper's charges. the other money order was mistakenly made out in your name. so i will like you to do me a favor ... i want you to cash it and send the funds out to my shipper seperately. i would get my shipper notified about the funds, the funds are actually for artworks purchased from a customer in africa.
as per the western union charges, yes i know they charge...! provision for their charges has been made in the payment sent to you ....ok? you really do not need to send cashier check , it cannot be cashed in africa... you know...? so the western union charges should be deducted from the excess funds with you after you might have deducted money, $750 and ofcourse i know your item is going for this price.
totally, you are making two seperate western union transfers. one for the rest funds after you might have deducted your 750dollars minus western union charges . the second one for the other 2500dols minus western union charges . make sure you get back to me with the transfer information as soon as the transfer is made today. do not forget that both transfers should be sent to :
PAUL AKANDE
44 BANK ANTHONY RD,
IKEJA, LAGOS,
NIGERIA, 023401
i am hopeful and sure that you would be able to handle the funds. please let me know your intentions when you receive this email. i know this is out of our normal transaction and i won't mind to compensate you for money handling and for your efforts..
i will be grateful and appreciate your efforts in rendering your assitance. please get back to me at your best convenience.
many thanks.
