What's the question here?
They want you to put money in their accounts. You know it's a scam. So . . .? |

Yes, it is a scam!
They will send you fake checks or fake money orders BUT you can have fun with them!
NEVER EVER wire them anything!
You can pretend to go along and when you get the fake checks or fake money orders hand them over to the police (or have them mail it to the police station in the 1st place -ask the police 1st) or post master (if they send you a fake US postal money order).
When the scammers ask you if you got the checks or money orders, say no that you are still waiting you for it to arrive.
They may send you more fake checks or fake money orders. Hands those over also.
It cost them money to make the fake checks and money orders and to mail them.
After a while they will leave you alone. |

They send you a check for $5000...you keep $500, and wire them $4500.
The check bounces, and the bank takes back the $5000, likely leaving you in the hole...so not only are you out $5000, now you have to pay overdraft fees, etc...
Did I mention that here is no way to trace a wire transfer? |

The checks are bad. You won't find out until after you've sent the money. So you are out the whole thing except the 10% that you keep.
Sneaky aren't they.
To clarify, they aren't bad they are fake. The banks won't catch them in time. You can check with FBI, Secret Service, and Oprah did a show not too long ago on it. Many many people have been burned with this. |

You put the check in your bank. You send them the 90%. Their check bouces a week later. You are out the money you sent them. |

It's a scam.
They'll send a good quality FAKE check to you and ask to deposit in your account and send money back to them minus you "10% commission."
You deposit their check, send them your real money and a week later your bank tells you the check you deposited was a fake. |

When you send or receive a money transfer, i think there is a trace of who sends and who receives. They might be doing that to get you to cough up your account #, and then bingo!!!!
Don't reply to these low lives. |

They will send you counterfeit checks and ask you to immediately remit money back to them (for 90% or whatever of what they send you). You send them a real check, but by the time you find out their checks were counterfeit they are long gone with your $$$. |

yes it is a scam, they had it on Oprah a few days ago. dont deposit anything in your account. it takes weeks for the bank to actually confirm the checks are bad, but you will have access to the money after a couple of days. |

Block their emails and move on .. |

ooh ooh don't do it!! I just saw this scam on the news last night!! they get you to deposit a check for them then send them part of the money and supposively you get to keep the rest. But the check is no good, and then your bank charges you for the fees and all the money that you already sent to him. They claim that there are too many fees to cash the check in their country, so they try to get you to do it for them. But it is a fake bank and and fake check. But some banks will go ahead and deposit a portion of it and then when you send it to them, you get screwed out of a ton of money. |

You won't get your money.They will get yours! They want your bank account number so that they can wipe you out. That's how I read it. If it sounds too good, it is!!! |

I believe that after a short time of depositing payments into your account, they will somehow attain full access to your account and bleed it dry. |

don't ...you will regret. A friend of mine sent $6000 after getting this cashier check for renting his house. He advertised the two family apartment and a so called "an audit Co." from Nigeria contacted him and arranged to rent that house. He sent them a contract and they signed and returned it with $13,000 paid in advance. Within few days he received an urgently email claimed that due to some other job changes they will take only one apartment. So they asked him to take $1000 as a fee for contract termination so he sent back $6000 and not through western Union but he transferred the money to the same bank the check first came from.
he went with his business till 45 days letter he got a letter from his bank that the check is fake. Followed up they found that account was already closed.
Now he is paying the money back to the bank.
So don't send any money overseas to someone you don't know through Western Union, cashier check, wire transfer or even buying a dog. |
