THIS IS A FRAUD!!!! "Carolona Evans" sent me an email where I could receive checks and take 10% for myself and forward the rest via western union. I received my first check in the amount of $2890.00. I was instructed to deposit the check in "MY" account, take $289.00 (10%) and western union the rest to London. Instead, I took the check to the bank it was written from. The teller informed me the check was written on 8/30 and the account was closed on 8/31. The account has a FLAG ALERT!!! Do not trust these people!!! I sent an email to Carolina Evans and requested my money. ($289.00) Also, never to send me any checks!!!

This is a well known internet fraud. You don't get anything for nothing in this world. You certainly don't wire money to people you don't know. You were lucky unfortunately many people are more foolish that you lose their money which then goes to fund international terrorism.

I did the exact same thing took the check to wamu as it was drawn on and they said it could not be honored. I sent her a email and it was sent back to me . I had a feeling it was a scam so thats why I went to the bank it was drawn on . I got the original email from monster.com and Im seeking a lawyer to see what if anything they are liable for.
