I almost got taken for $2,500.00 today! Somebody named "Mary" contacted me about an ad I posted on off-road.com. She said she was from Baltimore, MD. Next she said a cashiers check would sent to me via FedEx for the amount of $2,500.00 . The check would be from a friend of hers who owed her some money. She asked me to take what it cost for one dashboard and forward the remaining amount to her family in Nigeria. After I cashed the check I made a wire transaction to forward the rest of the money. About one half hour later an agent from the Moneygram Fraud Dept. called me to tell me that the cashiers check was bogus and I would have to repay the bank once they found out the check was garbage.Fortunately for me, he stopped the transaction before it could be authinticated and called me. I immediately went back to the business where I sent the money from and cancelled it. I luckily was able to get the money back and return it to the bank and get the local ploce fraud squad involved. I was very lucky this time. Be sure to never accept a deal from somebody wanting to over pay you for something. According to the Moneygram people, there are a lot of fraud schemes coming out of Nigeria. Always make sure the check clears your bank before you spend the money. The e-mail address this woman used was
authority@excite.com, and her assumed name was Mary. Please be very careful, I got lucky. Best of luck to you all, Joe
