When I told her that, she offered to help me pay bills...and I was in such a rough spot, I was like hell, why not? So, she sent me a check two checks of 4k a piece, and I put one in my bank, and my boyfriend put one in his bank. Yeah, I knew something was up, but the money did help at that moment, and I do have to pay it back, but there's no warrant for my arrest or anything. Still sucks. Don't do it.

Still sucks.

Don’t do it.

The next day a relative got an email that appeared to be from me though I never sent it, the "from" gave my email address(how on earth do they imitate that?) so he opened the email that had a link to surveylot.com I think. We both erased them from our boxes immediately & reported them to Microsoft as a phishing scam but they already have my address & phone number & if they can send my relatives emails that appear to be from me have they taken over my computer? Can they get in to my internet banking site. Microsoft has not gotten back to me. Thanks for any help.

The way the letter was written was my first clue of the fraud, then my boyfriend and I called and the man who answered sounded like he didn't even know what was going on. So after telling him to go fuck himself, we are taking this to the police. It isn't surveylot themselves its someone posing as representatives from their company. I just thought I should warn everyone out there, when it seems too good to be true it usually is! good luck everyone!
