Hi Tara, I had the exact same thing happen to me and you are right he's dangerous and BOLD! I was selling on a auction site and received a fake WalMart MoneyGram Money Order that had been purchased then the amount changed. I was being as cautious as possible and hadn't even sent him the item yet and figured it had to be real and good it's from WalMart and was mailed. I went to cash it and was arrested for fraud even with the proof I had I spent the night in jail charged with a Felony for fraud. I've never been in any kind of legal trouble not even a traffic ticket. I was released the next day on a OR and given a court date. It was the worst day of my life. I printed all of the emails and turned them into the police department. I finally received a call from the detective informing me that all the charges had been dropped and that they would take it from there. No apology just dropped charges and no record just the worst nightmare of my life. The person who sent this to me still emailing me with threats for days, I still get emails that resemble his work and am afraid to even acknowledge them for fear of his retribution and even leary of the legal law abiding protectors which I feel didn't protect me nor serve me they just immediately accused me and didn't want to see or believe the facts and evidence until their superiors stepped in. So who can you really trust? NEITHER! Beware of Scams and Frauds! I also moved out of state to protect my family. I've not lived in one home for over 2 years and still I'm looking over my shoulder constantly. Be Very Careful and immediately forward your correspondance to the FBI if your in fear of him. Definately don't try to cash anything even taking them to the bank for verification gets the police called and you a trip to jail. Good Luck and Stay Safe! That's 2Sense Worth!

i received an email from several people about taking money orders and sending it via western union to them. then i got two identicle emails that said the exact same thing but the persons had two different names so i started feeling suspicous about the job offer. it said that they were an artist in the UK and couldnt receive payments from usa bc of some tax law. I also had some guy want to buy my truck and wanted to send me a MO and ship it to him in the UK and it started sounding really fishy because he wouldnt give me a # to reach him and he wanted a lot of my personal info and he said his client in the states would be by to give us the payment but he still wanted us to ship it up to him.doesnt that sound really fishy and weird?
2007-08-17 03:28:45 -
I have recieved many e-mails from a # of different people too many to list now but if you contact me by tomorrow i will give you all the names I have and even be willing to help you catch them if that is at all posible.
Thank You

I received 3 Walmart Money grams from this person all in the sum of $895.00 and of corse found out like an hour later that they were fake. I'm glad I took some precaution. If it sounds to good to be true it usually is. I hope this info helps.

fake money orders
2007-08-13 14:55:40 -
so r the money orders from walmart financial security fake...
2007-08-09 22:14:30 -
I responded to an online job ad for our local newspaper. The job was to be partime accounting/bookkeeping work. I was to receive payments for LENOVO Computer Company, cash the money orders, then wire the money to company agents. I should have known better, but I fell for the scam. I cashed the money orders at my local bank and wired the money by Western Union to the company agents and keep 10% as my fee.
I couldn't sleep all night thinking this was too good to be true. The next day, I went on the internet and starting looking for scams involving postal money orders. Then I went to the U.S. Postal Service website where I got a number to check on whether the money orders were legitimate. I made a copy of the money orders before I cashed them, so I had the serial numbers and other information. Well, I learned the money orders were fake. I was sick to my stomache. I knew I had to make this right, so I went to my bank and told them what happened and told them I would repay the money. I have been a customer with the bank since they opened almost 10 years ago. They told me they would let me know if/when the money orders came back as fraudulent. I made arrangements to repay the money by making payments every 2 weeks when I got paid.
My bank was very understanding, but I felt like a complete fool and an idiot. I am 50+ years old and should have known that if it sounded too good to be true, it isn't true.
I hope someone else reads this before the same thing happens to them. I am having to repay a little more than $3000.00 that I don't have and will be making payments for quite a while, in addition to having to cash in an IRA that I had.
Stay alert! There are lots of evil, scheming people out there looking to prey upon unsuspecting people like you and me.
