Event Horizon | Please tell me if this is a scam!!? |
This is really bothering me now. I am selling a new house in Florida and it was listed on the internet. I got an email from a guy in the UK saying he wants to buy my house and wants me to follow his explicit instructions. The weird thing is, he is sending me money, and I actually received a check. He wants me to western union that money into ACCRA, GHANA to some two agents of his so his agents can come to the US and see the property. Now the fact that sending money to Africa is involved, (but not my money) this screams scam to me, but it may not be. I just need some second opinion based on the info I gave here.

I guess my real question is what do i have to lose if i continue with this? |

MIND THE GAP

Of course it is a scam. The check is a fake.
Turn the tables and scam him. Tell him you forgot to tell him the closing cost were one million dollars and you need another fake check. |

You'll deposit his check into your account, then send money to Ghana. The check you deposited will bounce, you'll be hit with overdraft charges if you didn't have enough to cover the checks you sent, or you'll be out that money. You may also get into trouble for depositing the bad check.
Yes, it is a big-time scam. |

DO NOT CASH THAT CHECK AS IT IS A FRAUDULENT CHECK! What they do is send you a check that is made right off the computer (check to see on bottom of check or checkstub may say vista on it) stating it is from a real bank. Real bank is name,city,state. Account # possibly true but the unsuspecting owner of that account won't know anything about this. Once you put that check in your account or cash it, you become part of the fraud. DO NOT DO ANYTHING. They will have documents drawn up that state they own your house and you will not see a dime! They get the difference in money from the Western Union you send them. They make money,the owner of the account loses,you lose your property and they get away with it.
I have over $17,000 worth of phony checks to prove my point. I had called my local police dept and also the FBI.
This is what you need to do with that check. Take a copy of the check and any of the emails (keep originals of both). Give them to your local police dept and call the FBI on these people.
I was lucky I didn't lose anything just because I told them nothing would be done until they sent me money first.
THIS IS NOT A JOKE !!!!!!!! |

You have a whole lot to lose. It is definitly a scam. Don't do it and I would report it to the police and hand them the check. They will more than likely do nothing about it as it is so hard to catch these guys in ghana. |

Go see the police or your banker. They will give you great detail as to how this guy will take a huge amount of your money.
Some people spend all day long figuring how to steal money from you. The police and your banker have seen this happen to several people before--talk to them. |

Believe me when I say that if you received a check, it isn't worth the paper it is printed on. I would contact the local office of the FBI and explain what is going on and how you obtained it. Do not send him any money. This is such a bold scam! Maybe they can trace this and shut them down.
Something else to watch out for is identity theft. A person bought a house with stolen id. |

People from Europe often buy vacation and rental property in Florida, so if your home does not call into this category, its most likely a scam. If you do have a vacation property, don't accept the money. why would you have to wire money to ghana when he/she could do it himself? Tell him to wire you the money. Then you'll know. They'll stop calling and/or emailing. |

You stand to lose time. This reeks of a scam. Tell the guy no thanks and keep on your way. |

If it is illegal, your name is on it! You have no idea what they could be doing, but you are doing it for them. I wouldn't touch it with a 25ft pole! You're not his accountant! He should pay his people on his own and give you your compensation straight out. |

Absolute scam. Check looks real, but is fake. If the deal was real, they would have a rep. meet you with cash. There will most likely be some instructions to keep an amount of the check and send another check back to them. There is some issue if you cash the money order and they don't have the money in their account you are responsible for covering that amount....in the meantime you will send money to them using another check and they will get that money. Why can't he send his little Ghana friends the money himself? Tell him, if he wants, his reps can see the home if someone meets you with CASH ONLY. You need to be aware. I cannot believe people are still falling for this scam. |

This is a great scam
For the scammer
The check he is going to send you is phony as a 3.00 bill.
When you wire the money into Western Union your money just went bye bye.
2 weeks later you get a knock on your door from the police.
The charge?
Cashing a phony check.
You're guilty even though you had no idea the check was phony.
Run as fast as you can.
No, call the F.B.I and report these people. |

As a general rule - ANYTHING involving Western Union/money gram = Scam.
All spam emails are scams.
my Advice: Don't deal with anyone from a foreign country or Accept checks from strangers and never use wire/bank transfer services.. you risk losing your $$ and your mind.
Remember, if it sounds too good
to be true, it probably is! NEVER give out your personal information to strangers online! Always be on guard. |
