Zervaman, I agree with you . . . the problem is that the bank will tell you that the check has "cleared" and then it could still come back as counterfeit later on and you will be liable . . . our bank told us that our check had cleared, and then one week later called back and said "It's counterfeit . . . you owe us the money"

I almost got tricked by the same scam. They actually sent me 5 fake money orders for 850.00 each, but since I was scared to try and cash them at a post office, or put it in my back account, i just tore them up. I always knew this was some kind of scam, but i wanted to try anyway. I guess there'ssomething about possibly getting something for free that got me excited.

@ScamVictimsUnited I know how it works. Usually the checks are for in the range of 2-4k. And the money is sent over seas and includes a phone number. I know how they work. I know more scams than these. Thx for the info though

@NovieNovak . . . actually, she did not know that it was a scam. Very often the bank will tell people that these checks/money orders are good, cleared and verified. Now, if the bank told you that a check had been cleared and verified, why would you worry that there was a "catch" . . . THAT is why these scams work

I know what you have been through. Deposited the cheques in my bank account and bank even put them under the detector. These were American Express Gift Cheques sent to me by the scammer pretending they were donations going to an Orphanage. 1 Week later they cleared and 2 or 3 weeks later, they were returned countefeit and I was out 2500$ which I had to repay.
