PERIOD.. i been waiting for an opportunity like that to come my way.. take it... seriously they can't do anything. Then, even if you do end up getting the cash (which does happen, or this scam wouldn't even exist) that amount is referenced against your account. Even though you did not write the check, you'll be held accountable. So after your account sits negative for awhile, it will be charged off, your name will go to chexsystems so that you can never open an account again anywhere until the old account is payed off. Furthermore, if the amount is substantial, the bank will actively pursue getting their money back through litigation. If only it was as easy as you supposed it to be. |

Re:Scam?? Strange things afoot
The bottom line is that its a risk not worth taking. If you want free money just go rob the elderly, you'll assume the same risk doing that as trying to get money out of these overseas scammers

Re:Scam?? Strange things afoot
This is a common scam I've read about, It's often done over seas and they throw in some bs about shipping. The chack they willl send you is bad. But even so if you send them money. your out the check they sent you and the money. I would honestly try and keep them on the "hook" and report this to some kind of authorities and try to get them busted. I ------- hate con artists with a passion specially after all the non shipping bs going around. Or at least give us thier email so we can ---- with them.

Re:Scam?? Strange things afoot
It's not that they put a stop-payment, it's that it's a fraudulent check.
