I had received three money grams of 550.00 Tried to cash them take my 10% but guess what my bank kept them said they were fake. So I contact the guy and he told me how stupid I was. So today I get 8 more in the amount of 550.00 S any suggestions for me??? Anyone heard of wf national bank south central faribault mn

I just recieved the results of a job offer from

Wingas Petroleum and the result was a check on

a Chase Bank account for $4,850 for that is for

me to cash less my 10% fee. The problem is that this

smells of one of those African Confidence schemes

and I'm not the twit who's going to drink the sour

milk after my bank account has been dammaged. I happen

to know that when one receives a check that has a

pay systems company written on it that does not

exist in Colorado and also account and routing

numbers that are unheard of at Chase Bank then alarm

bells start ringing. I am going to ask an asset

protection specialist at the Bank of America to further

verify this document.

I received the e-mail as well is this indeed a scam?

My client have sent you $3,400 worth of Money Orders via UPS.The package will be getting to you today.

You are to go right away to your BANK and have the payment cashed instantly or deposited into your bank account, which after 24hrs the payment must have cleared and funds will be available in your account. Please do not cash my payments anywhere else apart from your BANK for safety reasons.

I want you to SPLIT the funds into 2 equal parts and send from 2 different Western Union shops to the details provided below,after deducting your 10 percent. The Western Union transfer fees should be deducted from my 90 percent. You are to use 2 Western Union shops for the wire transfers.

BELOW ARE 2 OF MY SALES REP DETAILS YOU NEED FOR BOTH TRANSFERS:

NAME:JOHN AKINTOLA
ADDRESS: 10 VICTORIA ISLAND ST., LAGOS, NIGERIA

SECOND TRANSFER

NAME:IBITOYE RICHARD

PLS NOTE:

Please remember to tell the Western Union shops that there should be no form of hold on the funds and that it should be made available for pick up immediately and also the funds should be paid out here in US Dollars.

I await the Western Union transfer details of the 2 names as stated above immediately both transfers are made accordingly and you will start getting 12 percent from the subsequent payments once you execute this very one properly. Thanks!!
