Then, somehow convencing myself that this is a ligitimate cause I replied: Yes, I have received the check and instructions and as soon as this clears my account I will comply with those instructions. No worries, this is a great cause and I wish it to continue.

This Scam is almost perfect because according to banking laws/guidlines; any bank will release funds that are deposited into your account up to $5000.00 with out verifying the source. They do that after the fact.

I deposited this cashiers check normaly through my Banks ATM and went the next day to the bank, stood in line and when I got to the teller; I expresley asked her. "The funds would not be available if the check didn't clear or wasn't good, right? She said yes and forked over the cash. Some of my friends said I should just keep the money. But I am a man of integrity and I believed this to be a test of that. So I complied with the intructions given. FOOL!

PER YOUR INSTRUCTIONS PAYMENTS HAVE BEEN SENT!

TO: LITICIA AMPONSAH: amount= $2500.00

MTCN FOR FIRST PAYMENT IS (687-***-***)AND REMAINDER=$1659.00 TO: EMMA NKRUMAH. MTCN=(514-***-***)Please follow up with me and assure me that funds were received and greatly apologise for any delay. Thank you so much for this opportunity. I look forward to helping you in the future.

Then this:

Please send payment to these names below.Its a charity home in care of people living with HIV/AIDS.

I am now going to be as of tomorrow over $5000.00 in the hole with my Bank. And have no idea what I am going to do. Probably sell my car, bike, coin collection, basicly liquidate every thing I have to save myself from the snow ball effect this is going to have. I feel like such an idiot for not taking the time to reasearch this before diving in head first. I believe that most poeple that don't have much money or a decent income make rash decisions about getting more money for a veriety of reasons: eating better, getting some new clothes, getting there loved ones something nice, catching up on the rent. These were some of my personal reasons anyway. I sure am sorry now. And am thinking about killing myself. Because I thought i was catching a break. But instead got dupped. I swear to god. If it wasnt' for bad decisions I would'nt make any decisions at all. Additionaly every one knows that real decisions are relegated to the rich. I can't decide to have a New York steak tonight, but rather a 99cent cheese burger. and I am looking in my seat cushins right now for that. I am in big F-ing trouble!
