If you received a check in the mail and can find the envelope it came in, take it to the post office and tell them your were scammed and ask the postal inspector to look into it.   This is mail fraud!

Dear Maria,
They scammed me also but I was able to do the western union money gram process. The name is different than the one you have listed, the phone number the same and the amount of money is the same. It took one week for my bank to let me know that the check was no good. So what I am hoping is that we can maybe work together to try and get our money back. I just found out around noon on Monday 5/5 that the check was no good so I'm going to the police staton and post office this morning to file reports it's Tuesday 5/6. I called the trucking company where the check is from and they said the checks were stolen there were a lot of them. Here is my e-mail address [removed]@bellsouth.net  Let's get them!  Thank you for your response.     Deb

Hey CWG40
Thank you for the info I'm going to try it and see what happens. After my husband told me that the check was no good I had $1900.00 put away for our vacation to the beach that I had to take it to the bank to assure that our house pmt was not going to bounce I drove past a church and  the sign read
 "DUSTY bibles lead to DIRTY lives"      This is so true.   I believe in KARMA         Deb

Sorry you were scammed.
Please read CWG40's post again.

Also, read this ... carefully!

Extract:
"In these cases, the depositor most likely will be held responsible for the entire amount of the fraudulent check."

Instead of cashing the check, take it and the envelope in which it came to the post office.  They will use it as evidence and pursue the scammer.

Thank you for your response I cashed the check and found out 5 days later that it was no good. It was a very expensive lesson for me to learn and I will never let it happen again. I'm hoping my children learn from this also. I went to the post office but because I had already cashed the check there was nothing they could do but took the envelope because I told them that the name that was listed in the return address spot was on the craig's list scammer's site. I believe they will get theirs!              Deb
