This is to add with angels below. I am her bestest friend and I started by getting an email from a guy named troy adams kept e mailing me for my information I gave him bogus information and then fed ex called me and I gave them the correct info I thought it was just an ordinary thing Like something I ordered off of e bay. Then I received these money orders for $925.00 a piece and I was astonished as to who would trust a perfect stranger with almost 8 thousand dollars( not me I blow money like its water) Well me and my best friend are now working with the locals and they are working with the fbi I plan on cracking down on this guy I vow to find him. If I ever stop trying its because Im dead. There are innocent people sitting in jail right now because of him. He is ruining lives and I plan on ruining his.

Just to let everyone know, cashing these checks at your personal bank and letting them 'clear' is not a safe way to treat the situation. I thought if the checks clear my bank, and the balance shows up, then the money is good. This is not the case. Please call the original bank or issuer and make sure the checks are legitimate.
I was fool enough to fall for this scam, cost me $3100. I was selling a Chevy truck on a legitimate website, and a guy named Gary Alvarez started negotiations. He was Hell-bent on having this truck for his son as a graduation present. He sent me three checks for $2500 through Walmart Financial Services. Luckily, I only cashed one and took the remaining cash out of my pocket to 'pay' for a $3000 shipping bill. I wired the money, per his request, via Western Union to a, I assume, bogus shiping company in London.
The info he gave me is as follows:
Gary Alvarez
4 Featherstone Street
London EC1Y8SY
United Kingdom
The shipping contact info:
Cynthia Francis
22 Hackney Road
London SW12LH
United Kingdom
+447040112325
My advise to anyone who hears from these people is to: GFY, or go blank yourself.
If anyone has had any successful recourse in finding or is planning to compile evidence to find this SOB, please let me know.

WARNING TO ALL MONEY ORDER RECIPIENTS:
I just received a money order for purchase of an ebay auction item. the MO is from Walmart Financial Services payable thru WF National Bank South Central Faribault, MN. at the bottom of the MO is listed Travelers Express Company, Inc. the amount for said MO is for $2500. I contacted my local Walmart here in Atlanta GA and was informed that (at least in this state) Walmart does not issue MOs over $900.
The sender of the MO stated that he wanted to pay for the item, which is only $1150, and shipping. Then refund the ballance back to the sender.
This does not sound like a factual transaction in my opinion.
NOTICE: to all persons that have received a Walmart Financial Services Money Order, make a copy of said MO and show that to your local Walmart or bank before sending any money to sender of said money order.
caveat emptor, jk
here is all the information i have on this person:

I was almost failing in that trap until I search google.com about money orders fraud and I found out that this model from England with a Nigerian name was a scamm. This girl send me 5000 dollars to my apartment cause she wants me to share my room...so I make copies to the money orders (in any case of fraud), I send one to western union. So yes, I was cheated but I won't be hurt by law cause I have the copies of the waltmart money orders. When I found out about that...I was playing with this person in the yahoo messenger..ajajaj it was so funny.

SO NOW WHAT? I have read all (or most of) your stories, as I too was almost scammed out of $2800. But what I have neglected to read was what to do about all this?
It seems that many stories have similar details, leading me to believe it is the same person or group of people carrying on these scams. Therefore, we all have information that could potentially lead to stopping these people from hurting someone else. Does anyone know what the proper procedure in reporting these cases? Perhaps, we could gather all our information together and that would be enough to bring to the police and they could actually make an arrest. Just a thought... but let's be proactive here and not wait until it happens to someone else.
