How can you stop these email with these scam coming to you email?


2009-06-22 16:18:45 -
I have been Scammed along with nine other's and the company Sinochem Corp. It could be a real company but the person's sending emails to hire you as their REP and keep 10% is FAKE. I know as i have been scammed for alot, He or She will send you mony order's to fill out in your name and deposit and then withdraw and go to western union and send money to an address. If you get money order's from WF NATIONAL BANK AND ISSUED FROM ALBERTSONS BEWARE AND DO NOT CASH BECAUSE YOU WILL BE IN THE HOLE IN YOUR ACCOUNT .


2009-06-22 16:08:56 -
over the last four weeks i received and depositited and withdrew nine money order's to send to a person .
right after i sent 1500.00 my bank called and advised me that the money oreder's payable through WF
NATIONAL BANK SOUTH CENTRAL FARIBAULT,MN ARE CONTERFIT
I AM CONCERNED THAT OTHER PEOPLE OUT THEIR HAVE BEEN SCAMMED ALSO FROM THIS SAME PERSON, WE DO KNOW HE IS SENDIND THESE'S MONEY ORDER'S FROM THE KANAS CITY AREA.

I have received 3 checks from Massachusetts but it is international through Wells Fargo--this has happened before when I was renting an apartment on Craigslist--I did not know anything but learned fastand stopped wasting e-mails to and from Europe--the sending back part and requesting phone calls from them to verify without return sent a red flag and then finally getting checks with no letters was the tip-off. But why would someone just send money orders without wanting anything in return. My name was spelled in a way only few people know about. It is strange--what is the value in it for them--is it some kind of evil way to just play with innocent people?

My husband and I have our house up for sale. It is listed in several sites at no cost to us but especially at the site For Sale by Owner. I received an email accepting the price of the house with $1,000 non-refundable holding fee. Today I received via UPS 3 moneygrams totaling $2,625. I am supposed to keep $1000 and western Union the balance to her agent in Ghana. This is just another scam with different players. Beware homeowners!!
