<p>[QUOTE="Cazkaboom, post: 1328438, member: 33215"]I've had something of that sort happen on craigslist, they sent me not one, but two fake Wells Fargo money orders for $945 from California and asked if when I get it, I take my cut ($70) and send the rest to London, England, but nothing matched up, Name in return address the money order came in, name (Momcapekins) on the money order and name to send to all were different. Plus it came from california with a money order made out in alaska 2 months before I ever had contact. The police found it awfully funny that somebody would be dumb enough to make it like that, but then said this really happens to people. Somebody fell for that nigerian scam you mentioned a month earlier and wired 2k to somebody, went to the police, and was asked if he ever entered a 'sweepstakes' that he supposedly won, and he answered "No" and the cops had to laugh. </p><p>I still have the money orders framed, I asked the cops if I could keep them, they said yes as long as I don't try to cash them and end up getting arrested. So I keep them in my wallet, so if somebody mugs me they can find it, try to cash it, and get arrested. Smart thinking on my half, I think <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
