I was stupidly ripped off for $2,700 and realise it was my problem. Fair warning do not get involved with smic908@yahoo.com. The E-mail sent sounded very authentic and received a money order for $2,700.00 My take was 10% and the balance sent via Western union to an address given. Although at the onset the money order was accepted then refused three days later by the bank. Live and learn not to trust people if you are a trusting soul. Yahoo has not been satisfying in correcting this E-mail address.

I havent, but a friend of mine had the same thing happen to her a few months ago (i dont know which email) but it was for a much larger amount of money (around 30,000). She was told all she had to do was make some transfers or something i dont remember but now she ended up having to pay back everything.
The point is, if it sounds too good to be true (or even a somewhat believable good deal) its probably not true. They will rip you off. Unfortunately such things as easy money-making do not exist.

Hi SaletnikW....sorry about what happened to you...Some people are just plain out evil. That's all I can say. I wasn't taken by them but I was for $60something dollars awhile back on a make money making surveys scam. They said they would provide addresses of many companies that are looking for people to take their surveys. Some paying quite a lot of money because it was cheaper to pay outsiders to do the work than hire inside survey takers because of having to pay insurance etc. Guess I learned the hard way that not everybody is as honest as me. I sure had the word Gullable written on the front of my shirt that day!
Watch out for scum!

No, but you can report smic908@yahoo.com to local law officers and/or Yahoo! for violating an agreement (if you kept the exchange of e-mails). Sorry you got ripped off.

Iam not clear on how you got ripped off, did you sell something and they paid you with a fake money order?

Unfortunately because yahoo IDs are somewhat anonymous - the individual may have logged in from a public internet access. This would make it impossible to trace him. Again - take it as a lesson - please dont feed the spammers.
