I sold this person some Cobra racing pipes on Ebay. He sent me a phony money order from WF National Bank. I can fax it to you if you like.
Here is his address and phone number. You need to act fast because I have not sent his pipes but he will get supicious immediately.

My husband and I are always facing serious difficulties when it comes to PAYMENTS, This is because all my customers in AMERICA are always offering to pay me with U.S POSTAL MONEY ORDERS, And it is very difficult for me to cash U.S POSTAL MONEY ORDERS HERE in LONDON, This is Because The United Kingdom Government does not permit the usage of U.S POSTAL MONEY ORDERS IN HERE IN LONDON.

If you accept this offer, you shall be receiving 10% commission as your interest for each transaction, which means that you can earning at least $3000.00 Three Thousand American Dollars Every week as your commission, if you accept this offer, all we need to do is to instruct all our customers to raise MONEY ORDERS on your name and send it to your address, Then when you receive the MONEY ORDERS and cash them, you will deduct 10% from the total money as your commission, and send the balance to us here in LONDON, This project is 100% risk free and it is legal from the American Government, if you are interested, kindly send me the below information's:

LOL
Jon Kalo has hired ME to work as a check cashing service. I was glad to make the extra money for christmas. Mr Kalo (and I use the term loosly) sent me 6 "walmart money orders" for $925.00. Boy am I rich! The folks at walmart and I sure had a good laugh when I took them there to make sure they were fakes. Well, now poor old Jon has had to use up a bunch of his own money cause I email him and tell him I have important news about his money. I keep him very up to date on how my friend at the local grocery store cannot cash them until her boss is out of the store. so far she has "cashed" two of them and I "took" 2 more to the bank who wants to wait 14 business days before releasing the money. oh--and geeze--I had to stay home and wait for the fedex guy and missed a whole day of work and now I am going to charge him for the lost wages. When poor mr kalo CALLS inquiring about his money--I ask him lots and lots of questions about Nigeria and his home in London (which according to mapquest is in the middle of a large park) Poor Mr Kalo is so helpful in answering all my many, many questions in detail(remember it's his dime!). I have asked poor Jon for some samples of his fabrics as I am redecorating my house and would like to recover a couple of sofas and have some comforters/spreads made for a couple of king size beds. I like to especially ask him about him being an agent for me cause I would like to buy some property in Nigeria. He gets so excited about the possibility on getting some more money from me(oops--do you smell another scam coming???)
This may not get anyones money back but I sure feel good about stringing poor old Jon along and making him spend his own money on the Fedex (which he said would come from England and instead came from France)and on the many phone calls (most of which he has to repeat cause I keep clearing my throat badly and blaming the noise on a poor conection and make him call back 2-3 times before I can actually "hear" him well enough. I am having such a GOOD TIME with all these questions to good ole Jon. Soon I will introduce my "husband" who has lots of money and will offer to cash checks too. (I can have more than one email account too!). I have framed and hung on the wall all of the "walmart money orders"
A very funny site with lots of scambusters on it is the 419 Eaters. Please go to the bathroom before you read this site cause you will laugh so hard at what these masters make these "scammers" do in the hopes of money, you will almost die!!!
Thanks for listening and remember--YOU too can have fun with Mr Jon Kalo or whatever name he uses at the time he contacts you.

I received (8) Money Orders from Walmart payable to myself with orders to send to Lagos Nigeria. The Money Oredrs were for $950.00 a piece, totaling $7,600.00 the Man's Name is Walter Smith, claiming to own a Textile and fabric Company. Mr. Smith's email address is:
[email protected]
I am supposed to deduct 10% of $7,600.00 and send the difference to Nigeria. Counterfeiters will send this money so you can wash this money through your bank account and by the time the funds have been available and wired out from the counterfeit Money Orders, there is not enough time for your bank to verify funds are actually available from the institution that the Money Orders were supposedly purchased from. Therefor, you end up sending them your good money. Once the Counterfeit Money Orders are returned to the Financial Institution making you responsible for the Monies that were sent to the Counterfeiters. So, you are the financer of any number of illegal activities, up to, and including Terrorism.

I receive six fake money orders, and deposited three of them into my account. My dumb ass then did the research on the Wal*mart financial services, and found this site. Can anyone email me back at [email protected] to tell me what will happen next, because if I don't take the money out, then I should not be charged with the amount I deposited. Right? So please anyone contact me and tell whats gonna happen.
2005-11-29 16:20:00 -
Greetings all, please be aware and pass on information to your family and friends that any money order with Wal-Mart Financial Services payable through WF National Bank South Central Faribault MN is more than likely fraudulent. I am working several cases on this issue. I continue to urge each and everyone of you to report these to your local police department. Somewhere down the line the suspect will be apprehended and brought to justice, but you have to document and have a paper trail. This is where good old fashion police work begins. Be safe!

heres my 2 cents ... i have an apt for rent and im trying to rent it via several websites online. basically i get alot of responses .. but the peopel that are trying to secure my room end up sending me money orders... this has happend to me more than 3 times now ... the first time i deposited the certified bank check from SBS bank.. but i had the bank call up the bank to where the check was issued .. and they told me it was a fraudulant check. then i recieved other money orders and never thought twice about cashing them.
what i have done in spite of all this i have kept up with the email conversations and i tell " them " that i have there money in hand ... and that i will be sending it to them soon.. haha .. another time i told them thanks for the loot ill be going on vacation now ...
either way .. dont get scammed ... im sorry to hear from anyone out there that actaully did.. its terrible ..
another way you can get around this is ask your client (scammer) to send the money to you western union... they will make up some BS about how its so far and they dont have access to one ... but then ... if you think about it ... why in the world do they request for you to send it back that way ??
happy holidays everyone .. God bless!!

I received 5 money order from San Diego by the name Simile Oluwa through next day air. $950 for each money order. But the person who contacted me was C. Fletch in UK. How interesting! I don't think those money order are really neither, because it is also from Wal*Mart Financial Services and it is payable Thru WF National Bank South Central, Faribault, MN. Since they have someone who can buy money order from US, there is really no need to find another person to do extra job for them. Let's see what will he said when I tell him I am not going to wire the money for him to "Nigeria"
Peoople, please also be aware of scam from Europe, I got a fake check, and I was lucky that Western Union froze the money so I could get the money back.
