He had a business opportunity for me. It was to accept payment for an oil/gas company in the UK from debtors in North America. I would then keep 10% of the payment & wire the other 90% to him and so on... Sounds good hey! I had received my first payment earlier this week and I cashed the cheque ($35,000.00) I emailed him that the cheque had cleared & waited for my next set of instructions. He than sent me the wire transfer details. So I head to the bank to finalize the transaction. The lady there told me she was nervous for me, that if this was a scam that I would be resposible for the 35Gs. With that I told her I would hold off and investigate the company a little more. In the mean time the bank decided to investigate also. I am now under investigation as they feel I may be part of a scam.... Has this ever happened to anyone else? Could someone please help me in finding that man? The money was never touched, but I feel like criminal.. I look at it now & feel so stupid...

I get those scam emails alot. Everyone seems to be dying and leaving me money, funny thing though because the letters all start with dear sir or mam. They don't even know if I am male or female but they trust me .

do you really think that a professional scammer would use their REAL NAME?
