I have contacted local police in Idaho, Metropolitan police in London, FBI and Fraud Unit at my bank. If anyone out there has received an email from her wanting to rent a room, house, etc in the US please let me know. Sheri

Kim Banks is a fake name, it's probably some guy from nigeria...
------------------------------
To Avoid scams here is what i tell people...
All spam emails/unsolicited phone calls/letters and faxes are scams.
As a general rule - ANYTHING involving Western Union/money gram = Scam.
my Advice: Don't deal with anyone from a foreign country or Accept checks from strangers and never use wire/bank transfer services.. you risk losing your $$ and your mind.
Remember, if it sounds too good
to be true, it probably is! NEVER(ever) give out your personal information to strangers online or offline! Always be on guard.

Why would you deposit money orders into a bank for someone else? You are joking right? Wow... Contact your local police however chances of you getting anything back are probably slim. You can probably expect some kind of recourse from your bank as well, i.e. deposits have to clear before you can get money for them. Never deposit anything for anyone else. This is probably going to be a costly lesson to you. At least you know now.

Well, good luck finding her, but it's probably not going to happen. I sure hope the money order wasn't for more than she owed and you didn't send her the difference back - that's one of the more common scams around right now.
