I never said that I cashed the check. I just said that I was wondering why people like those crooks shouldn't be picking on people like US who live where I do. If I ever find out who those people are who sent me the bogus check, I will rip their hair out and make them eat it. Then, you don't even know what else I will do to them, because it won't be very nice. I have already alerted the police, the media, the FBI and the FTC about those people and they won't have a leg to stand on after they get a hold of them. They will be in prison for the rest of their lives and then, I'll be satisfied.

This is a very common scam. Several times a week, I get e-mails saying I have won a European lottery. I must be a very lucky person to win a lottery several times a week, especially lotteries I never even played. Why would someone, out of the blue, come to me and say I have won millions of dollars? I delete every e-mail of this type I receive. If they scammed you out of money, I feel for you. I hope you can recover.

I don't need to give any other explanations about this matter and it is none of anyone's business, but my own, what happened to me. I did finish my story and if you can't figure out what happened, don't make any comments to my story. It didn't sound like he was asking a question. It sounded like he was making a comment about my story. I'm very angry and don't need to explain anything else.

File a complaint online with the Federal Trade Commission -- FTC.gov. You might also want to browse i3c.gov -- the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center. They have some articles which might be interesting. Sometimes, they do catch these people. Recently, a Canadian was arrested in Vancouver as part of the joint operation between the FBI and the RCMP. "Sundip Dhanda FBI" is the google search that pulls up the article from the LA FBI website. The hostility in the other response to your report was aimed at the scammers, I'm sure.

He asked a question and based on his question and conclusion-that was based on your apparently incomplete story-he threw a joke out. So apparently you did send money based on your surly response. I wonder why they won't take a WU sent from WalMart?

Keep your comments to yourself. I was ripped off and don't need your rotten comments.
