that happened to my friend about a year and half ago...she got contacted by a person claiming that he had a babysitting job for her since she posted on the Internet that she was looking for a job. This person said she was hired without a formal interview and BSBSBSB...he said that he will pay her before she even started working..that was a red flag for me but she didnt take my words of warning and got the money order for $4,000. He told her that part of it was hers for the babysitting job and that the other part, he told her that he will give her instructions to give the cash to his "wife"..not sure what happened but she cashed the money order...turned out it was a fraud and she lost $4,0000. I dont know how it worked but they deducted $4,000 from her bank account. She was sooo devastated cuz she was broke already. Oh boy.

Money orders can be fake...but looks real. It is so strange how that works.

It was probably one of those special forms that require account numbers or it wasn't really a money order, but a transfer slip that... once signed... gives the other person permission to withdraw money from your account.
 
WOW! If I need get a money order, I would only get from post office...If someone want to send me the money, I always will tell POST OFFICE MONEY ORDER ONLY! She/he gulped.

Eh? I have used several different kinds of money orders... never seen a president's face on it.

Of course, I've used special ultraviolet light (security light) on these things and never noticed it. I'll have to check again in the future. :)

Now I remember how my friend lost the money from her bank account. She went to her bank and the clerk went ahead and proceeded with the money order. Later on, when it was discovered it was fake, they deducted $4,000 from her account. Too late, she had already wired a large part of the money to the scammer as per his orders. She tried to fight it by saying that the bank clerk was at fault but the bank refused to take responsibility for it. She contacted the authorities but they were limited on what they could do.

Sometimes, they will try to pull out unsuspecting information from you during conversations and use it against you to get money from you.

For instance, they probably found out what bank you are a member of and then simply ask you questions (during conversations) regarding your pets, age, parents, school, favorite things, etc.

What if I knew you were a member of BankOne and I found out that in order to access your bank account online, I need your bank account number and email address. Since I continued to talk to you through email, I'm assuming that this is the email address you use for that online bank account. Now, I need to say that I forgot my password. So, the question is... "What's your dog's name?" I could then start a conversation about our pets. I tell you my pet's name and you tell me your pet's name. Now that I have that information, I can access your account and then transfer any amount I want to my account. Hehehe!

Sweetheart, I suggust you need to see him in person alot before getting married in someday.

Is he hearing or deaf ? If hes hearing.. Do he know how to sign language ?If he isn't... How you guys get communcation ? ? write ? No...he will sick of it if he write to you often by communcation... He need to learn how to sign language before getting married..whatever....

Why don't u meet deaf guys same as ur age.. in ur area or somewhere..than online ? ? Online is VERY dangerous.. Some of them are nuts..

Have ya watched "Dateline" show on tv about "Online/chat".... The reporter said.. dont trust ! ! Some of them are criminal background. Ya know what ? ? Whoever criminal people will not change after something happened to them.. Do u understand ? ? always inside of their mind... Itself isn't cure or fade.

Better is date to normal guys... without criminal background...

Sara, Good luck.... I hope you listen to our advice this thread...:fingersx:

100% agreed with you! HOWDY! I am very happy you are back here! :hug: :hug:
 
I have chat with 2 different guys in the past over 2 yrs ago. One says that he was working in Africa and other says visiting there. That give me a red flag and I told them to bug off. One was begging me to continue to chat and I told him to bug off and will report on him so he went offline.
 
yeah, be very careful about that. i have been contacted by lot of scammers and when come down in the line, that is where i picked up by it. But As u said about N word, really, its not, Nigeria is a country name in Africa. You meant other word, but rather not spell it, it is bad name, but it spell differently.
 
im tired of your posts but i wanted closed thread and ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
 
I remember 2 months ago, A friend came up to me and asked me if I had seen a traveler's cheque before? I said "Yes, I have seen what it looks like and why?".

So, He was telling me that he got 5 separate traveler's cheque in the amount of $500 each per traveler's cheque. He had said he got it from someone in Washington and wanted to be sure if it was the real deal or not.

He showed me the cheque and I saw it myself. It seemed to be so real (almost the exact) but the only thing looked different was the dollar symbol ($) and it didn't have a watermark on it. It also did not have the 9 digits of the routing number. It only had 8 digits of routing numbers on the bottom of the check.

I had a feeling that it was the fake traveler's cheque and advised him to take it to the proper authorities or to the bank and advise the bank tellers of the situation.

I'm glad he listened to my advice because when he went to the bank the next day to explain the situation of the traveler's cheque. The bank inspected it and called the authorities to come over. Indeed, those traveler's cheques were fake. It was a good thing that he did not deposit the traveler's cheques in his bank account or otherwise it would have not been pretty.
