Hi all,

We need to get united and fight back these fraud! One true story I’ve heard was: a group of people got organized through an online forum. They scheduled a date and everybody called on that same day the number of the fraud people asking weird but hilarious questions like:
-I want to order a cheese pizza.
-What? You don’t have cheese pizza?
-Don’t you deliver pizza for free?
-Rats! Where’s my pizza?

Use your imagination – it can be a real fun thing to do when a group of people get organized like that and share online what they just did! I read the record of such a group discussion and couldn’t stop laughing – it was like watching the funniest comedy! And, most important, this will drive whoever initiate the fraud crazy!

When I had the other check and the information for the both checks I took it to bank of america and the police and they cant do anything about it it wont help them find anyone because everytime they do it they have a new network and new numbers to be contacted at. Like when I was scammed i called a 888 number and then all the sudden i was getting a call from a 646 and thats a number in new york so that right there should of told me alot.

Megan, you might also want to take the check to the police or to your bank and ask them to report it as fraud. We’ll never catch these jerks if people don’t report them.

No, you can’t. The check is fraudulent. It will be returned and the money will be taken out of your bank account, plus a returned check fee. I work at a credit union and one of our members was in this situation. She couldn’t pay the money back, so to get her account out of the negative ($1200) she had to get a loan. So she had to pay it all back plus interest. But she had wired the money to the scammers then realized she’d been taken.

I got a letter in the mail 2 days ago and it said that I had won some sort of customer lottery, and that my name was pick from a customer database form large department stores and there was a $3900 dollar cashiers check. It told me that i was to contact these people and that the $3900 dollars was for the 10% taxes I would have to pay on my winnings. is this a scam?

its been a few months since the issue happened to me. I found out it was a scam and I never heard from the guy again. I found out some of the people in my area has gotten hit witth the same scam. I owe bank of america 3900. and I can’t have a bank account until I pay the amount off and I also have to wait 5 years. 3 haven’t paid the bank yet back that’s a lot of money I don’t have right now. my credit score even went down on me.
