Police: Fake traveler's checks making rounds

[ace]

last one

How are you today ? Sorry for just getting back to you with the details for the transfer, am just waiting for you to receive the payment over there , please make use of the cashing details i sent to you carefully before going to the bank with all the cheque

As there is no time now, as you know I still need to buy my ticket and do some other stuffs from the money you would be sending to me, so preferably I would appreciate if you can send the money by western union money transfer since that is the fastest way of transferring funds and it takes about 10minutes for the funds to be available for pick up, I've got a huge tight schedule now rounding up and preparing for my trip to the Australia so my personal assistant would pickup the money for me so the money should be on her name. I would provide you her details and you would have to send the money via Western union money transfer and i guess 2,900 U.S dollars should be enough, so you take a month's rent and send to me 2,900 U.S dollars. and please deduct all the transfer expenses from my money .

Here is the details of my P/A below:

FIRST NAME: ADENIKE

LAST NAME : ALAMU

CITY: PRETORIA

ZIPCODE: 0002

COUNTRY: SOUTH AFRICA


More so, you can send the money in any nearest POST SHOP to you, need to reply me with the Sender's details below as soon as you finish sending the money at Western Union Office .

SENDER'S FIRST NAME :

SENDER'S LAST NAME :

SENDER'S ADDRESS :

TEL :

WESTERN UNION REFERENCE MTCN #(usually 10 digits):

AMOUNT SENT AFTER CHARGES :

TEST QUESTION :

ANSWER :

Once you send the money, please get back to me with all the transfer details, so that my P/A can go and receive the money on time, so as to book my flight for this weekend.

Thanks once again, as I look forward to meeting you soon. Once I get my ticket I would let you know my flight schedule.

Bye, take good care of yourself and enjoy the rest of your day. I await your response

Just thought everybody who reads this should see since i received the 3500 usd cheques in an envelope with a black peice of paper and nothing else. I was very suss and wasnt going to follow anythings he said to do.

HOpefully these people will learn to do good and not evil. and karma will get them

1.Do not sign as purchaser and then Countersign too.

2.Never mingle Questionable money with your own money.

3.Never Admit that you got scammed to the bank.Banks have Insurance and other loopholes to cover themselves-but they will take your money first if they can!!

4.When you receive any offers like these you should start monitoring your credit reports.
Verify accuracy of all reported personal info. and dispute anything invalid.

Hope I Help

We received some AAA VISA Travelers Checks from a friend and when I went to a Local AAA Travel Agent officer to verify these Travelers Checks, the ones I received looked Identical to the ones they were selling. I could not tell the difference except that the ones I received were faded in color than the brand new ones. If the ones my friend sent me are fake, how does he get his money back from the Agent who sold them to him in the first place?

Thanks Again !

[sam]

hii this is sam i have received the same kind of mails from the person named "JAMES MARK" and the mail i got is from the company named "PEPE OIL LIMITED" and the address is as follows
PepeOil LTD
Head Office.
Ramskamp 71-75
25337 Elmshorn
Poland.

and i want to know from u people whether it i the one who mailed u under the same company name or not.

[Christopher Carlisle]

Well I have recieved 4 checks for 500$ each is there awawy i can pst up the number for the check and see if they are real

[Renee]

Well I hope you guys know the local police cant do anything about. They cant because the checks come from out of state & not even the FBI can do something about it. This is what my local police officer said to me when I was almost had an attempt of being scammed the 1st time.

The question does bother me though what do you do with 3000 or 6000 just sittin there and cant touch it.I say dont feel bad because your the victim here and you didnt write the bad checks. The cop told me you can Sue who

[Cathy]

Well I got scamed too but from 2 different people. I am currently working with AAA and secret service tring to catch these guys. I was given job applications and phone numbers AAA said no one is ever prosicuted for not knowly cashing the check being bad MINE were perfect no flaws fading or such I paid bills and now AAA who said they would stand by me Is backing out and telling me I'm on my own seeing I'm being tracked by law officals for a warrent issue for my arrest for paying my car payment You couldn't tell it was fake and now I have the chance of going to jail and having my life ruiened because I need a job.

[just wondering]

i recived 4 travelers checks in from of $500 the serial numbers start with 158 i want to make sure its real before i cash them in..can anybody help me?

[Ray]

Think twice or more if have to. It doesn't hurt to think, but it will hurt knowing the outcome of it when it hunt you down.

[Ken]

dont worry everyone. i kinda felt that it was a scam, so i checked online first and found you guys... i have all their information to turn over to police. they really should check into who they are sending them to

[Walter]

How could anyone not tell these checks are fake??? Anyone ever look at the edges? they are not anywhere near even or how about the fading coloring? how about the ink that comes right off the check? did anyone ever compare one to another? they are all very much different. stack them in a pile and see if they are all the same length and height. Nope not a single match. You are all too greedy and not smart enough to actually look outside the box. I knew these were fake the second i opened the box, come on. Contact your local police department if you want to waste more time, if not consider yourself lucky to get monopoly money and show your friends a counterfeit check!

[danielle]

Where can I get some of the travelers checks sent to me at is there a site or something please contact me I really need the money
[e-mail]

[danielle]

[fukalscamers]

I just applied for a driving job thru a legitamate jobsearch company and was hired by a 'Brenda Laurel' to drive her daughter to and fro university once she moves to her new flat in the UK. She forwarded first two weeks 'wages' in the form of travelers cheques. Spotted straight away they were fakes and was proved right when i showed them to a friend who works for bank of scotland lol. Thought everything was dodgy from outset but went along with it just to see if she was legit.She even played on fact her daughter was autistic but if you google the real Brenda Laurel who is a top pioneering writer, researcher, designer and entrepreneur in the fields of human-computer interaction and who's daughter is top artist Hilary Hulteen. This scammer hasnt asked me for anything yet so im really curious as to how they will try and recoup their so called money.

I still have the 5 travelers checks that I received but I am not doing anything with it. I sent an instant message back to them saying that I got the police and the FBI involved and that I gave them the envelope in which the checks came in and they have finger prints of the person. Lol they havent talked to me again ahaha.

The envelop has also his DNA from his/her salaiva.
