Scam Scam Scam Scam Scam !!!?

  • ok, so i received an email about a paid modeling assignment and he sent me a check of wayy more than hes paying me, wants me to take my share and send the rest to this other place, I know its scam and i'm NOT doing it however can i email him back saying that i did it, just to see what he says? haha I'm just curious..and Again, i'm NOT cashing it or anything. I know its fake. Just want to play him in his own game..haha

  • Answer:

    Don't think you are smart enough to play his game. You already lost if he sent the check to your house. It means he knows where you live which is a lot more than you know about him. It's a dangerous game you're playing. Stop it now before you lose your life. These are professional cons. Beware. Alert the police ASAP.

Problem is, by emailing him, you gave him your IP address and he might be able to locate or track you.

Do not make any additional contact or response to him. Take the materials that you have and turn them over to the police. The check has no value except as possible evidence. It is ALWAYS a scam when someone you do not know sends you an overpayment and tells you to send the difference back or to someone else whom you don't know. If cashed the check will be discovered to be fraudulent. The bank will take its money back from you, but you will never recover the money you send.

Duuh, just deposit the check and you'll find out very quickly that it's no good. And then you will be stuck for the full amount. Do you have what's known as a "round file?" It simply means a wastebasket. Tear the check up and put it there. And just remember that you gave him some personal information you may wish you hadn't given to anyone!

The fact that he has your real name and home address, you DO NOT want to play him at his own game. That only works if it's an email scammer and your email address does not contain your real name - then you can scambait them. But these are not lone individuals conducting these check scams - they are criminal gangs and you do not want to mess with them when they know where you live. These money laundering scams are usually run by the Russian or Nigerian mafia and they are brutal. All you can do is tell him you deposited the check and were on your way to Western Union when your bank called to tell you there was a problem with the check and you needed to come back. Say you went back and the police were there, who took you into the station for questioning. Say that you gave the police his name and email and showed them the emails that this was a real job offer, and that he has to go to the police station when he's back in the US to sort everything out. Say you still want the job but you will only take cash when you appear at the job, nothing else, as you are now under investigation for bank fraud and your account has been temporarily frozen until he goes to the police and settles this matter. But don't go beyond that since they do know where you live and your real name. Reporting this to the FBI is the best way to get back at them.
