The Ones Above And This One Cole Bright Wayword Lincoln,. I'm a victim of a scam and identity theft in the amount of $12,251.75. Las Vegas, Nevada, Belle Vernon, Pennsylvnia, Russia And Online. Internet
I put a cat on Petfinder.com. I was contacted by Wayword Lincoln, who wanted to buy the cat. I was sent three $1000 money orders through UPS to cash and keep $420 for myself and the cat, then send the rest to his shipper in Russia.
I went to the bank and they cashed them so I though it was ok and sent the money by Western Union to Russia. Then I received two more UPS envelopes, one with five $850.35 money orders and one with a $5000 check. I told him it was to much trouble but he sounded like an old man on the phone and I wanted to help. He told me to keep $1000 for myself and to send more to his shipper in Russia and the rest to two people in the states for other goods he was receiving. If I didn't then he wouldn't be able to pick up the cat because he wanted to get everything all at once. I trusted my bank and again they cashed everything so I still thought everything was alright.
After I sent everything the bank teller who cashed everything called and said that they were all bad, so I went straight to the police and filed a report. The police Chief said that I was a victim of a scam and identity theft because one of the people in the states I sent the money to was allowed by Western Union to use my name, without my ID, to send it somewhere else.
I have all this information in paper form, the emails, UPS envelopes, Western Union receipts and the police have the check and money orders. The bank is saying that I am liable, that they don't have insurance to cover this and they are saying that I have to pay $12,251.75. I am low income and do not have the means to pay this.
$3000 of the money bounced back to Western Union when they allowed them to falsely use my name and I am retrieving that myself for the bank because the police haven't tried to yet.
I need help and have no idea what to do about the bank. I thought that the government and banks had programs to help victims in these circumstances.

Thank You so much for posting this, we were offered something very similar, but we had used the local and state jobing.com website to apply for a "driving" job when the reponse back was a man looking for someone reliable to drive his wife and he around throughout their vacation. He as well wanted to "overpay" us our weekely salary and an overpayment to send the travel agency, This all just happened and he said he already sent the payment I dont know what to do?? should we contact local agencies or send it back?? He has all of our information off of the resume posted fpor the job... Help What to do!!! And I know we definatly do not go cash this check and then show up to the airport in 10 days waiting for no-one!!!
