Same thing
I got almost the same email a few weeks ago.He wanted me to go to a check cashing and cash it the same day it came.He kept telling me keep an extra $200 for all of your running around and troubles.He wanted me to western union the extra money to him.The total for the items i was selling were $1800 and he sent $7000 in a cashiers check.I decided to go to the check cashing and see if possibly it was real.Next thing i know in walk the police.After questioning me for about 3 hours and me telling them what was going on and showing them all of the email he had sent they let me go.The guy kept emailing me saying his wife has breast cancer and he needed the rest of the money quick.He said just keep the $1800 for free and sent the rest as my wife needs the money.Then a few days later he started saying you better send me my money or else.He asked me for my phone number.I never told him the cops took the check,but i gave him the number to the police station and said it was my phone number.I havent heard from him sence then.He also couldnt spell very well.They want you to deposit it in to your bank account and sent them the remaining balance.The thing is that it registers in your account until about a week later when it turns out to be a fraud and your out the money and somtimes even the product.I also gathered all the names i have read that this guy or guys have been using that i got from other threads on this site and emailed him with all the names and email adressess and even some actual address.I told him were watching you.Anyways see what he says if you ask him to western union the money to you.I still have all the emails from him.So if anyone want to see just ask.

He even spelled his own countries name wrong: Poland, not POLLAND.

ps
its all good I just contacted his e-mail provider. hopefully they shut him down |
Regarding this issue, wouldn't it be fairly easy to catch this guy? He repeatedly has asked to have the funds sent to him through Western Union, all it should take is to inform the police in the town where he is to pick up the funds then "confirm shipping" through Western Union to this shmuck, and have the police waiting for him to show up to pick up the money. If it is more difficult then this please explain to me why, as I do not see the main problem.

I get several of these emails every week. My goal is to collect as many of the fake checks as I can, and put them up on a wall in my office.....I am shooting for $100,000 in checks. It may not stop them, but at least I can cost these scammers a little bit of money (they always send the checks thru UPS).
By the way, you can't trace them thru UPS, since they send the checks from a "UPS store" or similar type of business in Largos (not sure if they are called The UPS Store over there). If you call UPS with the info on the package and the account number shipped under, it simply comes back to that store (where the person shipping it paid cash and used a fake name) |

I get the same BS just about every week. Here is the latest one.

CASHED THE CHECK.....
WOW.... I Was just emailed buy a guy who got one of these checks... it was for $4000.. and he actually cashed it!!!!! and has the $$$ so he says... He is asking me what I think he should do????? I told him what I thought he should do.... I also told him he should post to this thread... He seems very weary to do so... So we'll see if he does... This is how the scam works... It pays off I guess out the 100's of emails they send out if they can find just one what I call a sucker.... to actually cash the check..This guy has now cashed a check for 4 grand... He thinks he should maybe send the guy the $$$ and just call it a loss... If he does that ..Man what a fuc*ing moron... Call the cops buddy tell them what has transpired.. Tell them to look at this site all the info...etc.. Save urself while you can....
Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th... Mike Clark..aka Serpentboy78... "Karma's got a way of coming back and returning" |
