I have been the victim of two. One with money orders (fake) and one with a fake cashiers check. Fortunatly they haven't cost me anything but it is the principle of the matter.

I too have been in a scam. I have the Crime Stoppers investigating everything now. It was a job for a representative to recieve money from the company's so called customers, cash it with my bank and then forward it western union to the UK. I recieved the first payment so I called the bank to verify funds, funds could not be verified. So then I called the company, come to find out in the past the companies checkbook had been stolen. Someone out there was using the account information illegaly. Got a hold of the company to let them know. The company changed their bank information.
I think that is just crap all together. People will do anything for money now a days.

I had the feeling mine were going to be scams but let them send the money orders/cashiers checks anyway just to see. The money orders were real good fakes the only thing they could not duplicate was the thermogenic dot on the front (they were supposed to be wal-mart money grams) the cashiers check was totally bogus as it was handwritten.
People don't care who they hurt to get money that does not belong to them. I am just trying to sell a piano that I need to sell desperatly and these scammers won't leave me alone.
