David Accius passing off bad money orders Accra Internet
I applied for a job online with secret shoppers. I got a response thatI was hired and that my first job would be checking western union stores in the neighborhood. I knew right away this was fraud. I emailed back and told them I knew it was a scam and that I was going to report them.
Today I received 3 separete money orders in the mail, each for $998.00. They came ups express and 2 were in an envelope with no letter or nothing and the 3rd one came with instructions. I was to write that it was from Lana Higgins, 5301 Pine Grove Ave, Shasta Lake, Ca. 96019, cash them, keep $300 and mail the rest to them via western union. The other 2 were already made out from Patricia Bonekeeper, 4617 Cason Cove Dr. 939, Orlando, Fl 32811.
I dont know how to proceed with this, but I do believe these people need to be contacted to let them know that funds have been stolen from them. Can you help me?
You may contact me at (702) 533-5852 or cathy_jarrell@yahoo.com anytime of day.
Thank you

Destroy the phony checks and move on with your life. The people whose real accounts were used on the phony checks are well aware of it by now. Once a fake image of your check gets out in the wilds of scamburbia, there are hundreds of copies passed daily.
Don't worry, funds were NOT stolen from the people whose checks were forged. Those checks will simply not be accepted by their bank. The funds are actually stolen from the Internet dupes that were silly enough to deposit the checks and send real money via Western Union.
