I received a check yesterday in the amount of $3,950 from a doctor out of NC. It was sent from overseas by UPS. Took it to the bank that was on the check and almost got it cashed until the teller checked the account # and told me that the check could not be cashed at that time and I would need to get with the person whose name was on the check. I received today, 4 postal money orders in the amount of $950 each. These money orders have the Benjamin Franklin watermark on them. I called the 1800 number to check out the serial # and it said that they did not have any info on that particular money order. What exactly do that mean? Can someone help me?

ASAP through the email (christos005@gmail.com) for further inquires

M&C LIMITED"
i smelled a scam, so i sent a simple email reply to the address posted. i got a response, and after doing a google search for the phone number in the response, i found this site here. here is the reply i got:
"Thanks for your response and i would like to know if you really like to work for the company,M&C LIMITED needs a book-keeper in the states, so i want to know if you will like to work online from home,getting paid weekly without leaving or it affecting your present job?
I am presently running a textile and fabrics firm i inherited from my late father and we need someone to work for the company as a representative/book keeper in the states
My company produces various clothing materials,expensive and high quality batiks,assorted
fabrics and traditional costumes which we have clients we supply weekly in the states.
My clients make payments for our supplies every week in form of money orders or checks which are not readily cashable outside the US {JUST BECAUSE THIS US MONEY ORDERS AND CHECKS CAN ONLY BE CASHED WITHIN THE USA} so we need someone in the states to work as our representative and assist us in processing the payments from our clients and i will pay weekly salary {YOU WILL BE PAID 15% FOR EACH TRANSACTION AND WE NORMALLY GET PAID 4 TIMES A WEEK FROM OUR CLIENTS} All you need to do is receive this payment from our client in the states, you can call the verifying bank to confirm the funds or you can get it cashed at the bank and then deduct your weekly pay i.e 15% and forward the balance to the company via western union money transfer.
You will keep all western union transfer receipts used and forward them to us from time to time, you will also record all transactions on your computer both offline and online in case of any emergency references. We would have told our clients to send the money directly to US via money gram but it has been a tradition for them to pay us via US MONEY ORDERS OR CHECKS and the person that used to help us cash the MONEY ORDERS AND CHECKS before i.e {our former representative} has been relieved.Our payments will be issued out in your name and you get them cashed at the bank, (tax charges on your account will be deducted from our pockets not yours, so you dont have to worry about that) and then deduct your salary and foward the balance to the company via western union money transfer method i did mention earlier on.
So all i need is to forward your information to our numerous clients in the state and they
issue payment in form of MONEY ORDERS OR CHECKS then send it via courier or mail to you. i will need your full name,address and phone number so we can foward it to our clients and they will start making payments to you as the company representative in the states
I WILL EMAIL YOU A LETTER OF EMPLOYMENT FROM OUR COMPANY WHICH YOU HAVE TO REPLY WITH AN ACCEPTANCE LETTER AND A SCANNED COPY OF YOUR INDENTIFICATION ATTACHED TO IT AND ALSO SEND ME
YOUR FULL NAME THAT THE MONEY ORDERS OR CHECKS WILL BE ISSUED TO AND ALSO YOUR ADDRESS WHERE THEY SHOULD BE SENT TO AND YOUR DIRECT TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR EASY COMMUNICATION.
AS SOON AS WE CONFIRM ANY PAYMENT COMING TO YOU I WILL LET YOU KNOW AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION TO SEND FUNDS TO THE COMPANY VIA WESTERN UNION.
Thanks and i await your response.

just to answer everyone out there who have question in regards to wall mart money gram, money order that they are receiving; they are false/fake/scam and should not be cash are lodged to your account. to verify if the money order you receive is good call 800 542 3590, give them the serial number on the money order for verification before you do anything foolish that could land you in trouble or take money out of your account .
have a nice day

I was sent some money orders last week from kentucky. i Cashed them at my bank thinking that money orders were as good as money. i thought you had to pay cash for money orders. anyway, these orders bounced in my checking account a few days later. after i'd spent the money. I am getting copies of these orders monday from the bank and me and walmart are going to have a talk. i want my money. if they had done the purchase of a money order properly, this would not be a problem. they had water marks, serial numbers , you name it. this looks like an inside job with walmart employees.

So I get this email in my inbox and figured it was a scam instantly because I didn't recognize it. Sure enough, I've seen the same email posted online as a scam. I hate these kinds of emails. Is there any way to stop this person?

Hang Seng Bank Ltd,
Taikoo Shing Branch,
25 Taikoo Shing Road,
Hong Kong.
Email: patrick_chan557000@yahoo.com.hk
Dear Friend,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Patrick Chan Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd.I have a Secured business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Col. Hosam Hassan who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Thirty million United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during the war early this year. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that Col.Hosam Hassan and his family had been killed during the war in bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Col. Hosam Hassan did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the Paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his
deposit in my Bank. So, Thirty million United State Dollar is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration 6 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Col. Hosam Hassan so that you will be able to receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE ARE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful.I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Col.Hosam Hassan,all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and
secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.
Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall share in the ratio of 60% for me,40% for you, Should you be interested please send the information? below,
1. Full names and Age
2. Private phone number
3. Current residential address.
I will prefer you to reach me on my private Email address or Fax it to my private fax machine number below:
Email: patrick_chan557000@yahoo.com.hk
And finally after that I shall provide you with more details on this transaction. Your earliest response to this letter will be highly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Patrick K.W Chan.

After funds have been released to you, deduct your commision of 10% plus transfer charges. Please divide the balance (90%) into equal halves and proceed to the closest Western Union agent to have funds sent to our lawyer and superior officer to enable them close the lease agreement on the new & bigger warehouse,...and also for the clearing of our goods which have just arrived the port in West Africa to our market which is equally large to avoid deamorrage and further delays.
So you would send funds in this order to our lawyer for the signing of the lease contract and to our personnel at the sea port for the clearing of our goods at the port.
Please note you would be have to send funds in this order via WESTERN UNION:

Address: 12 OSU ROAD
City : LAMBARDI
State: ACCRA

Answer : BLUE
All transfer charges are to be deducted from our balance....
AFTER SENDING IT PLS SEND ME THE 10 DIGIT MTCN GIVEN TO YOU BY THE WESTERN UNION AGENT AND TOTAL AMOUNT SENT.
