A guy I worked with two years ago was almost taken in on a scam similar to this. He was contacted by phone if i recall correctly.

Some of the other guys repeatedly tried to straighten him out on it. One of us, hehe, kept telling him it sounded for real and he ought to send the money.

Finally one guy, who was his buddy for years and years threatened to kick his ass if he did it. As it ended up he did not send the money.

Oddly enough I believe that it was the guy telling him to do it and get rich quick that convinced him of the scam.

It is amazing what greed will do to people who are normally somewhat grounded.

I work in the financial industry. Some of the scammers send a fake "Certified Check" for several thousand dollars to people for them to cash. They say that they do not have a checking account to cash it in. The "mark" is told to keep several hundred dollars for their time. The "mark" thinks everything is on the up and up because the check is a certified check from a legit bank. The only problem is after the check has been cashed and monies are in both peoples pockets. The check is discovered bad and the "marks" checking account is debitted those thousands of dollars.

It's all a scam.

The scary part is your bank won't catch the fact that the Cert. check is no good and they'll process it. It won't finally bounce for several weeks. And then guess what? You're resposible for paying back the entire amount of that bad check.

That's exactly correct. You walk out with several hundred dollars now, but pay the cost of the initial check later. It is the same if the bank loads the wrong denomination in a ATM. You make a withdraw for $XX.00 amount of money, only to notice it gave you too much money. You will be held responsible. The ATM network will give the bank all of the card holders who withdrew the money from that machine.

Years ago, I was living in Memphis and a ATM in one of the casinos was giving out to much money. Instead of the cash handlers putting twentys in the (cassettes) ATM, $100.00 dollar bills were. It made the news because people were standing in line to withdraw ALOT of money out of their checking accounts. Their banks came back and made them pay it back. Imagine you have $200.00 in your checking account and you have/had the ability to withdraw $1000.00 ? Now if you only have $200.00 in a checking accout and your at a casino, those customers will have a tuff time, paying back money they don't have. The bank WILL get their money.

Hi,

Pardon me for not having the pleasure of knowing your mindset before making you this offer and it is utterly confidential and genuine by virtue of its nature.

I write to solicit your assistance in a funds transfer deal involving US$ 3.5M.This fund has been stashed out of the excess profit made last year by my branch office the International Commercial Bank which I am the manager. I have already submitted an approved end of the year report for the year 2006 to my head office here in Accra-Ghana and they will never know of this excess.

I have since then, placed this amount on a Non-Investment Account without a beneficiary. Upon your response, I will configure your name on our database as holder of the Non-Investment Account. I will then guide you on how to apply to my head office for the Account Closure/ bank-to-bank remittance of the funds to your designated bank account.

I see that this is a new subject..... NOT! There is so many scams that are new, just re-worded. Multi-Level-Marketing, Ponzi -or- "You Name It". They are out there. Keep your Dukes Up and always stay prepared. You keep your trash mail, personal mail shredded, now do the same for your "Email".

Always Keep A step ahead of those who want your personal info. I have always tried to keep one step up, but have found that I own a domain that I haven't registered for. Not a cool website address like "ibm.com, yourdomain.com, but something like B737829CDJS.com. Doesn't sound like much on your credit card, but a website like that is a "phish" site. I filled it with the secretary general for prosecution/investigation. It "only cost me" a few dollars on my credit card. I cancelled the CC account, but the damage was done. The website is used for a window for more consumer damage.

Check your credit report, your credit card bills (minimumal charges....$2.30) and any suspicious activity. I am overly causious, not enough....huh?

Take Care,
