For the first time in my life, I fell for a scam!

I let myself be a victim of the "Alma Adams - Supramed International" scam.
I always delete emails of that nature, as spam. But when I saw it was from 'monster.com', I trusted it as being legitimate. Especially when there was a contract to sign, and no request for very private/personal information (ss#, bank, bank account, etc.).
I was sent a check, which I deposited into my checking account. A 'hold until cleared' was put on it - Thank God. The check was returned, but I was charged a 'returned check' fee.
Since I did not cash the check and it was returned, this "Alma Adams" person/persons, did not get any money from me! Again, I thank God!!!

I should have done a search first! Then I would have seen it was a criminal act/scam.
Now I know!

Dear SIR/MA,
Would you like to work online from home and get paid weekly ?
MILLER TEXTILES needs a book-keeper in the states, so
I want to know if you will like to work online from home and get paid weekly without leaving or affecting your present job?
It's just that I presently run a textile and fabrics firm I inherited from my late Dad in the UK and we need someone to work for the company as a representative/book keeper in the states.
My company produces various clothing materials, batiks, assorted fabrics and traditional costume which we have clients we supply weekly in the states.
My clients make payments for our supplies every week in form of Money Orders, which are not readily cashable outside the United States,
So we need someone in the States to work as our representative and assist us in processing the payments from our clients and we will pay him/her
wage.
ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS RECEIVE THIS PAYMENTS FROM OUR CLIENTS IN THE STATES,GET IT CASHED IN YOUR BANK THEN DEDUCT YOUR WEEKLY PAY AND FORWARD THE
BALANCE TO THE COMPANY DOWN HERE VIA WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER.
Our payments will be issued out in your name and you get them cashed in your bank.
Deduct your weekly salary and forward the balance to the company via
Western union money transfer.
I AWAIT YOUR URGENT RESPONSE
.

BEWARE

ALMA ADAMS\
SUPRAMED INTERNATIONAL\
COMES IN AS AN EMAIL FROM MONSTER.COM
AS THE BEST PART TIME JOB
I HAVE NOTIFIED MONSTER.COM
AND THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
I AM JUST WAITING FOR THE RETURNED CHECK FROM ELLEN S MCREYNOLDS TO CONTACT MY LOCAL AUTHORITIES.
THE OLD SAYING IS VERY WISE
"IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT PROBABLY IS"

WELL I GUESS WE ALL LIVE AND LEARN I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY BECAUSE MY BANK HAD PUT THE CHECK ON HOLD FOR SEVEN BUSINESS DAYS ENOUGH TIME TO FIND OUT THE CHECK WAS NOT VALID.
I HADN'T TAKEN ANY MONEY OUT BECAUSE MY ACCOUNT WAS FROZEN UNTIL THE CHECK CLEARED I AM SO GLAD MY BANK TAKES THESE EXTRA STEPS TO ENSURE ITS COSTUMERS AREN'T SCAMMED.
