I was subject to an email fraud that I proceeded without having done any diligebt research. I was anxious to be a bookepper of services for a 10% commission. The first money orders I received I processed the U.S. Post Office money orders with my bank. In two days they showed to be fradulent. The following is the text of the solicitation. It has caused me the embarrassment of my bank account being shut down.

My daughter ran an ad to sell a dinning room set for $400.00 in Naples, FL. She received a call from an interpeter for the deaf. The woman agreed to the price and said she would sent a MO for the furniture and arrange for a shipper to pick it up. Today, we received a check for $3500.00 with instructions to take our agreed amount and get a MO and send it to the shipper in London, UK. I called the local FBI office and was told this was a scam and to check the bank that the check was drawed on....it probably was a fake. He also refered me to a web-site to file a compaint because there are e-mail involved. The web-site is: www.ic3.gov

We are offering 10% of whatever amount it is that you cash per week as salary and subject to your satisfaction you will be given the oppurtunity to negotiate the mode by which we will pay for your services as our official Representative/Book-keeper in the States.

These payments are in MONEY ORDERS 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.
