The first time I was scammed I did not have to put out any money and that made the offer look so good.I received a job offer from a company in china.they would send me a check in the amount of 100,000 US dollars.I would keep 10% of it and wire the rest to a company in Canada so when I got the check I want to the bank and deposited it .Come to find out that the account the scammers used was real of course the bank put a hold on the check and it got denied for lack of funds.got a second check from somebody else this time I called the bank the check was drawn from and found out that it to was a real account but had nothing to do with the company or name on the check .Sorry for the long post I hope this helps out.
Hi Webster and welcome.
Thanks for posting your experience here. It could well help convince a future potential victim that they are being scammed.
I hope you did not lose out financially on this scam.
It is a typical Check Mule or Representative scam.
The cheques are very very good, printed on the correct type of paper and as you found out, the account details are correct.
I actually have one in a frame on my wall, where I actually baited the lad.
