Walmart Inc Services Group I received a letter and a check in the mail for 1,600 dollars. It told me to take 350 dollars and keep it for my pay for the week. Take the rest of the money and wire it to Greece. But keep my identity descrete. They said western union would try to talk me out of sending the money. I deposited the money in my account and the check cleared. I got the money and two months later I was pick up by police facing a theft of property charge and a fraud charge. Now they are trying to give me jail time for this. Bentonville Arkansas
I received a letter and a check for 1,600 in the mail addressed to me. It came with instructions to take 350 dollars and keep as a payment to myself for the work that was supposed to be done. It said take 1000 dollars to western union and send it off to a man in Greece. It said that western union would try to talk me out of not sending it, but go ahead and send it it's ok. With the remaining money use it at walmart, home depo, or lowes. I deposited the check into my account and it cleared. I took the funds out of my account. Two months later the police shows up at my door for a warrant for my arrest. They said I was being charged with fraud and theft of property. I am going to court about this and they are trying to offer me jail time when I didn't know that it was a scam.

As Homer Simpson would say...D'oh.
If you are the least bit serious the best thing you can do right now is find a good attorney and throw yourself on the mercy of the court hoping that they buy your "too stupid to function" reason.
Because if you truly thought that having someone send you $1600 check, tell you to wire money to a Foreign Country, let you spend $350 at a different store, and that Western Union would talk you out of it..was in the least bit legitimate you really are clueless.
Actually that is probably not fair. What really happened in your mind is "free money" and your pupils turned to $$$$ where nothing else after that mattered. If they told you to go rob a bank and don't worry about the police telling you not to, you probably would have done that too. After all what is the worst that could happen. Well now if you are telling the truth...you know what could happen. You could loose your freedom.

This is a scam that foreign criminals are doing to Americans. And some are stupid enough to do it. The check isn't real the reason why the scam is still going because dumb people fall for it, but who pays the price YOU not the foreign criminal. Nobody would send you free money like that. But it does tick me off that they are doing this to Americans.
But you end up going to jail over it for cashing a phony check. No wonder they laugh at us because of stupid Americans like you fall for their crap. Now you pay the price with a criminal record not them.
