scam help: Beware of this scam. - Help.com

I think that most people are smarter than that. That scam has been going around since the late 80’s. I cant believe that people still fall for it. O well I guess the saying is true. A fool and his money are easily separated. LMAO Hope this helps :-)

They all do. The thing to remember is that no one gives out money for nothing. That is the rule that I follow. I usually send it back to them with some junk mail enclosed just to mess with them. :-)

wow.. that’s interesting… some people can play games with you.. i experienced such things..this is serious..
by the way haven’t see you for ages, nice to see you now:)

I used to live in Washington myself. Tacoma, Woodbrook area, west of Fort Lewis and McCord AFB about a mile from I-5 :-)

Thx.
I hate scammers. Almost got scammed by a data entry job offer before. Although a search in google showed me the lite.

I won’t be that surprised. Even today there are still people who believed in the Nigerian (419) Scam.

do you have to underestimate the poster, why not just thank her for sharing the infos. beside if you find it unhelpful ignore it! not all are smarter than you. but then again if you will be our sole basis, we’d rather not compete

hi puck you! been missing you lately, i think you’ve been busy

These scams have taken in CPAs, college professors and lawyers. The scam described by PY involves “fake checks.” Typically, you get a fake check that looks like the real thing, as if it were issued from a real bank. You can deposit it, but it will bounce after a short while. In the meantime, the fake check scammers try to get you to wire them money, saying they overpaid you or that it’s needed for fees or taxes. So you wire them real money while you get stuck with play money. The banking laws stipulate that the depositor of a check is responsible for knowing whether or not the check is legitimate. Some people who have deposited fake checks and then wrote checks based on those deposits actually ended up in jail. There is also money laundering going on. ANY TIME YOU ARE ASKED FOR YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER, YOU KNOW IT HAS TO BE FRAUD. And the corollary: ANY TIME YOU ARE ASKED FOR YOUR PASSWORD FOR EMAIL OR YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, IT HAS TO BE FRAUD. What needs to happen is for law enforcement to catch the scammers and for the courts to deal with them harshly. But until all the scammers are locked up, we must remember that if it sounds too good to be true–it isn’t true.
