jessica johnson <mrs.jessicajohnson4@gmail.com>


Hi,How has your day been, I will like to inform you that i contacted
my bank to confirm payment that was mailed out,I was made to
understand that instead of the actual amount of $401 for the item with the shipping cost, the
bank made out money order for $1906.The payment was already posted before I
was informed about this but is a little problem which we can handle
amicably. I wouldn't want this to delay the sales,as I have rectify
this with my Bank and all you have to do is that,once you have the
payment do take it to your Bank and have it cashed and you will then
deduct the money for your goods and in addition a $100 (the cost of
running around).Thanks for the trustworthiness on this purchase, You will
deduct the cost of the purchase from that you will also have to send
the rest of the fund to my mover once you cashed the money order so you can
make the shipment by noon tomorrow. Here is the shipper
information to send the money to via money gram

Name: leo baptist
city :los angeles
state:CA
zip code :90062

I will need the details of the transfer once you have send fund.

1.The MTCN number that is the 8 digits number on the money gram receipt
2.Sender's name and address used in sending the money
3.Actual amount sent.

Please pay off the money gram charges from the remaining fund after
you must have deducted your money and the $100 that is to cover the
cost of your run around

yep Iv heard everyone of those on Craigslist, Forward there messages to spam@uce.gov there trying to send you a fake M.O. taht you will have to pay for
 
I had a note on my front door today,, from UPS,,, They have a COD package for me,,, 31.10 Gee I am not expecting anything,,,, must be a bogus check from my scammer ,,,,, that is pretty low charging the people that you are scamming ,,,,,, I will find out tomorrow for sure,
 
well UPS called me today .. and after three different calls it is now in the hands of UPS loss management team,,,, they opened my package and a money order was in it, and they acknowleged it was fraudualent So the loss managment team will be pursuing prosecution if they can,, just think about how many times this guy USED ups to send bogus checks,,,, bougus COD big time loss for the big brown van. thanks for your support....
 
UPS will probably do more to make life miserable for the scammer than the authorities would. ;D
If I were you, I wouldn't even reply to the scammer or have any further contact with him. Let him sweat out the uncertainties.... :D
 
Good I would love to know what thy do to him!
 
It takes all kinds. Glad the wheels of justice are in motion for this dirt bag.

Glad you were not a victim in this scam.
