I'm not sure if I'm at the right forum or website. I'm looking for someone who can help us or atleast give us advice.
My husband and I are sellin a few of our stuff to earn extra money for not just for bills but also for our newborn son.
My husband was selling his Xbox360 together with all the accessories. A guy called name Brian and he was very interested as he called 3 times before he was able to speak with my husband.
The guy didn't ask for direction going to our place since he can mapquest he said. A few minutes later he called and said he is at RiteAid store which is just beside our appartment complex. So my husband went to meet up with him and do the transaction. As soon as my husband walked in, he has this look on his face, showed me the money and then asked "is this even real money"? I saw the money and there was 4 $100 bill and everything is fake.
We couldn't help but cry. We needed the money so bad for baby stuff and pay some of our bills. We were both crying asking ourselves what have we done wrong....
We were just wondering if there's a way to catch the guy and how?
Please somebody, please help us!!!!!

Michael Sasse tried to con me with a Craig's List advertisement, under the guise of hiring me to tutor his son. He wanted to send me "400usd" and an "excess fund" which I would need to send to him after the tutoring sessions ended. It sounded fishy to me - but REALLY fishy to my wife. She googled his name and we found this site. Thanks for writing about this fraud, here :-)
Peace,

This may be a new angle on a old scam. English appears to be a bit broken when it comes to US slang. It's too go to be true. Watch out!

I kept getting phone calls from James asking when it will be sent and that he needed the numbers to collect the money.very perssistant, in a hurry to obtain the money he sent me another email.
I am waiting to get the western union details from you ...please get back to me asap.here is my id [email protected]
Regards.
James
In his first email address it was james with 2 s's now it had 3..didn't think of it either..
After I sent an email to him with the numbers, and requested to have a confirmation that he was able to obtain it.
ok it has been sent.. for samuel oluyemi the MTCN: 146-279-8429 and for
samuel omowaiye the MTCN: 437-832-3031 They asked for a security
question and the question for both is who sent the money? the answer is
xxxxx xxxxx.
The exact amount is $1558.00 each.
also I have 2 different email addresses for you one with 2 ss's in the name and one with 3 s's so I sent it to both { with the different email addresses I should have caught it there}But didn't hear back from him... so I went to call the number that was posted and guess what?! it was disconnected. I then called western union and had the transaction cancelled. I was very lucky to get my money back,since it would have been taken from my account since the cashiers check was fake. The other thing is, the fed ex package that the check was sent in didn't have anything else in there to indicate who it was from or what it was for. It had the sender's name and address, but no phone number to contact him. I searched for his number online and called his home phone where his wife gave me the cell number to reach him- he didn't answer the calls nor did he respond back. This person lives in the States, Utah to be exact, I am assuming that he is part of this scam. The cashier's check was from a PNC Bank, located in Southcentral PA,{I just realized that a big red flag here would have been that the guy lives in Utah,and the bank is in PA,most people have bank accounts in the states they reside in}the check did not have the bank's branch number or ID- should have caught that as well. Sometimes when we are desperate to find work, especaily with the economical struggles, we tend to over look the possibilities of scams. I have learned my lesson today, and that is to always check the BBB to verify that it is a legit business, and always have the bank double check to be sure that the checks are real. And if you have the slightest doubt either cancel out on it before doing so or hold the cash until the cashier's check has cleared.
