I received two money orders via UPS today both for $970.00. They were signed by a Herny McCole. The money orders were from Country Bank in Minneapolis, MN. I called the number on them and they said that they were good. The man I spoke with was foreign. I then searched online for Country Bank and found it was in Massachusset. I contacted them and they told me they were fake. Just after I received this email:

I have a money order issued on October 22, 2003. My bank in Canada refused to deposit it unless I could prove that the company that issued it still exists. Can you help me.
The front has "TravelersExpressMoneyGram under which is written International Money Order the Issuing Agent was QuikTrip. I do not want to include the numbers encoded at the bottom, Side or top right side of the money order. Can you send me a secure e-mail that I can send the information through for you to verify that this is still a legitimate money order that I can deposit into my account.

I received 2 MoneyGram money orders of which each was for $850.99. What made me more suspicious was that they arrived through UPS. I also vertfied the money orders through the post office and a local bank, which in turn were able to tell me that they were fake. Luckily I turned them over to the police, before I got myself into trouble.

I was trying o find a babysitter job in Philladelphia on Craigslist. So the next day I received 2 emails from Honey Ford and Linda Floria saying they are very interested. One was from Australia, another from England. Anyway, Honey ford sent me 3 money orders 970 USD each.
So I was to deduct 500 for my service and the rest I had to send to her travelling agent Jide Wright who appears to be in Nigeria doing some business.
I tryed to cash the checks in Walmart, but they recognized the fraud. They told me to go to the police, but I don't think they would do anything...

Have a so called business man who has a phone and supposedly business in the London England area. Goes by Bob Williams, email of CEE WILL with yahoo. Has claimed he invests in various businesses. Past supposedly money was sent from his off shore banking to a front so called bank in Canada. Of course fake address, etc in Canada. They wanted $ 2,300 for all fees, etc. Then said he had banking relationship in London and could do same there, always claiming he was unaware of the Canada situation. Then the so called bank in London did not check out as a new branch and of course the legit banking company with same name would not respond to several emails. That was over two months ago and he recently made contact stating he has been busy with other business and forgot he had invested in oil wells in Africia through a program with that was available in the U.K. some years ago and he forgot about his 2008 dividends which he was checking and had enough there. He now states very little has to be done to wire the funds now. So has anyone else had dealings with him, or should I say "lack of".......

I have in my possesion the u.p.s. envelope and two of the afore mentioned money gram money orders, and am wondering what I should do, because I have the address of the sender which u.p.s. provides on their packaging.
I am wondering If the sender is even real? (ADDRES or sender name). If I had cashed this it would have ruined my life and whatever credit I still have.
Who is so small that they would do this? This type of crime could ruin a lot of people in one swipe.people are heartless.
