SCAMS - Its called the 419 scam....People from Nigeria and other areas contact people here with that bullshit story and try to get people to cash fake money orders.....
the bank initially cashes them but when it comes back as fake the people are responsible for paying it. Most of the time they hav alreay wired back some of the money they go to the scammer...
Dont do it.....
Beleive it or not I actually managed to scam one of them out of $500.....it was great....also $720,000 in fake money orders....needless to say i never sent any out or tried to cash them.....they were incinerated...

I get these frickin things all the time and it drives me nuts! I spam them all and sure enough next day couple more. There like a virus or a cockroach,you cant get rid of them. They just keep coming and coming. The sad part is that it must work sometimes and some poor SOB gets shafted from these pathetic excuses for human beings,otherwise we wouldnt get these emails. Just spam them away and never give your info to anyone. I dont even open them,just in case.

regrettably there's no longer very lots you're able to do to supply up this - i know it quite is demanding. Mark them as unsolicited mail, do no longer open them, and delete them out of your Inbox. you may continuously close your digital mail account and open a sparkling one, yet at last unsolicited mail will discover it quite is way by way of. the only thank you to sidestep it somewhat is to on no account supply out your digital mail handle for something advertisement yet thats very puzzling in case you're paying for something on line or becoming a member of a team or in spite of. What I do is have 2 digital mail debts - one is a "sparkling" one that i exploit merely for correspondence with pals and so on, the different i exploit for whilst an digital mail handle is needed on a form and so on, given it somewhat is how spammers p.c.. it up.
