Willy Bowen Tried to place an Avon order just like James Roberts Internet
I had recieved and email from a man named Willy Bowen saying that he was the manager of an independent modeling group from Providence, Rhode Island. He said they were coming to my city however never specifying which city and told me he wanted to order some Avon Products.
They were facial cleaners makeup and perfumes. I gave him the amount and he had one of his "sponsors" send me a certified check in the amount of $1,450.00 and told me to cash it and send what ever money was left from the order to his PA named James Roberts. Well I did and then that night my bank account was way overdrawn. His order was only $121.70.
I was very upset and had to put my account back into the positive.
I have now decided that I am going to report this so it doesnt happen to anyone else in the future.

The way this works, they send a large check and you deposit it, then you send them REAL MONEY(Usualy by Western Union) and the fake check is returned as bad and YOU ARE STUCK FOR THE CASH YOU SENT, it's gone Bye,bye.
The way to stop this is to hold that check for about two week and see who screams "I WANT MY MONEY(That's a scammer)
