Daniel Brennan Received money orders for me to cash, and then wire the money via MoneyGram Internet
This guy apparently links buyers and suppliers together. I was to complete payments on his behalf since he travels constantly. So the "buyer" sends payment to me using money orders through UPS Next Day Air.
I then proceed to my bank where I would cash out the money orders which were almost $1000.00 each, deduct 8% of the total amount for me and send the remaining balance via Money Gram to some guy in the Dominican Republic.
The entire process could be done in half an hour. However, by the time the bank cleared the checks, it was discovered the money orders were of no value. Since they had been cashed out, the bank just deducted the balance off my account not only wiping out my account clean but causing me to become greatly overdrawn.
The bank (bank of america) says they will not take responsibility for the returned checks and I have no where to turn to to recuperate my money.
There were 2 checks for $960.30 each and 5 checks for $980.30. So I got scammed by a total of $6,822.10
Ripoff? I think so
