Let me make some comments on Mary's Post:
There is nothing wrong with giving someone your deposit info for a bank. Normally there is no problem.

These folks relied on timing. It was funny that he said next week he would arrange for the wire transfer. (By the way, I was very suspect the entire time). He finally let me know the wire was there on Wednesday.
Well, meanwhile, his conspirator in the US deposits a check for the mistaken amount with an extra "0" on the deposit the day before. Then he informs you the money is there on the next day.
You call your bank and sure enough the money is there, but way too much.
You pay him back, but the check is no good. ZAAAAAAMMMMM!

New Spin: Most folks.., and even the bank thought is was a wire deposit until they checked farther and found there was a deposit by check.

Now, Mary said it must be someone local, but think about it. These crooks can send out hundreds of emails daily and have a USA local run around depositing local checks to banks. They might have an abeter in areas, or districts.., but Jeez, even if they flew from Seattle to Miami, they would have made $10,000.
Not a bad price for a scam..., dependant on how many people you have to split it with.

This is a new ploy, and depends on timing and your ignorance. You call your bank and sure enough the money is there, even our bank thought it was a wire. After the security checked carefully they found there was no wire.
Had we not been on our toes, this would have cost us big time.

As the old saying goes, If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't"

In this case, however, we were selling a small cost item. This was just a way to use that as a way to swap money in their favor.

We are really glad we were able to offer our bodies to show you still another scam. By the way, I checked out a number of scam warning sites.., and this is not on them.
Hope we don't name this after me.


Watch Out!
