Almost got scammed for $3,000...

[derryj3]

So I followed up on this craigslist ad for a job. Lady sent email saying "our customers will send you payment and you keep %10 then Western Union theremaing balance to us.
So my broke $#@ agrees to do it cause money is supertight right now.
Then I start to look this company up and their website says "under construction" so I sent them an email saying..."is this a scam?"
LOL ofciurse she says no, so I said ok let's do this...
Just now I received a FedEx delivery of a Cashiers check for $3,000!
I'm supposed to go cash it and send the company $2,700 but I'm no fool...

I called the bank the check is written under and the bank said the funds aren't there and this account is most likely fraudulant.

The company just emailed me telling me to let them know when I cash it...what should I do?

 

[ridikuloz]

it's a scam 10000%... basically they send you fake money and you send them real money. simple as that.

 

[dirtylicious]

Ignore them.
they won't do anything
keep the check filed away forever

 

[demonbasketball04]

You serious?? You can't be...

 

[maldonado]

Paypal me the $2,700 and I'll take care of it

 

[sooperhooper]

wait, what work have you done to receivea check already? 3stacks? that's big, boi.

yeah, its def a scam. I bet the check is from a bank that you've never heard of. They may let you cash the check, but once they realize that the personwho wrote it doesn't have the money in their account, please beleive that the bank will suck your account dry. plus a returned check fee.

Happened to me last week for $20.

Post the email, i'm sure she wants to hear from us.

 

[cuongvo85]

Ask for her banking information so that you can send the check and once she gives it to you, report her. Or, we can have NT detectives look up her info., thenwe'll have some fun.

 

[derryj3]

If it's against rules I'll take it down but I don't think it is, we post myspace profiles up plus she's a scammer anyway....

[email protected]
And here's the number that was on the fedex package 425-440-8135

 

[trueshotaura]

Take the cash thrown it all on blackjack and pay off the bank when they ask for it back

 

[rsdplaya]

keep calling that bank and asking if this is fraudulent, eventually when someone else falls for it, the money will be in that account, and bam, $3000 foryou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[grizzlyboy]

You should email her and say that the bank rejected it. Tell her your done and keep it moving

 

[blueprynt]

my brother got a check from the same company yesterday for 4g's. after an hr, we realized that it was fake as well.
we thought about doubling the money, then putting back in the account, then reporting it .. but that seems too risky.

 

[si3xers55]

email them back saying u cashed it, but ur keeping all of it just to see wut happens
