I just got 3 more fake money orders. This time for $920 each. Thank goodness I know better than to cash them this time. Shame on you if you fool me once, shame on me if you fool me twice. Don't EVER cash anything without checking it out first at 1-800-542-3590. Also always trust your gut.

Kathryn, I'm glad that you checked that out before you cashed them. Thank goodness you weren't as foolish as I was. Good Luck.

I recently received 6 Walmart money orders totally $3,000. I went to my bank to cash them, and was told that they are fraud, they wanted me to bring in the envelope they came in. I haven't done that yet. I answer a internet add to make extra money. I was told to take 10% out of the amount, then I was suppose to send it to Ghana to two people. I did not do that. I kept writing this person roland davies, to find out what kind of business this was, he did not answer me. I always thought something was wrong. I am glad that I did not deposit the Walmart Money Grams, because I would have owed the bank $3,000. The name of this person I got the email from is rolanddavies001company. I would like to know what businesses are safe and are not scams on the internet.

It's a good thing you checked it out first. Another thing that might help is Googling their name and anything you think might be related to them, like if they gave you another name to send the money too. Good luck.

Has anybody else had trouble cashing wal mart money grams? wal mart says the wal mart money gram has to be made out payable to wal mart. we sell on ebay and the wal mart csm told me to have ebay buyers fill out their wal mart money grams payable to walmart.to me thats crazy.that means anyone who opens your mail can cash them. any other cashing problems out there?
This must be a new rule with Walmart. I have a money order made out to me also and they won't cash it because it is not made out to them. He kept saying if I cash this we will be out the money and I said that makes no sence you got the money already. My bank doesn't understand it either. What are they up to. You are right anyone can cash it if it is made out to Walmart.

I just received 5 WalMark MoneyGram Money Orders in the amount of $910.00 each. They were delivered via UPS next day delivery and the return address said "Fabric Deals" from Stockton, CA. I check the UPS tracking # and discovered they were sent from Virginia Beach, VA. They do look real, they are dated 8/31 and no one has asked me to cash them, or wire money anywhere... Why would someone waste their time and money by sending me these 5 checks? I just don't get it???

I received 3 moneygrams from a Mike Davies who said i should cash them, take 10%, and western union the rest after taking out the WU fee. Send the rest in two equal parts to two individules listed.
Why can't anything be done about this? It's been going on for too long.

It's really almost unbelievable that so little can be done. I hope they catch these people somehow and soon. Good luck.

I've been to Nigeria many times and I have yet to see a WalMart there. Heck, there isn't a McDonald's there- only a Mr. Bigs. I received three $910 WalMart MoneyGram Money Orders on Friday, Sept. 21, 2007. Took them to walmart and they said they were FAKE. They told me that the MoneyGram CIRCLE at the bottom was supposed to be PINK/RED and change colors when you touch it. I am sending this to my cousin who is an FBI investigator. He's going to check for prints. The money orders arrived in an overnight UPS evelope. Weird thing is, the envelope was sent from South Bend, Indiana and on the money order, the address was 255 Harbor Road, San Francisco, CA. I am in Mississippi and have heard of these scams so that is the reason I took them to a walmart store to check on the authenticity of the money orders. They were FAKE. Also, the real money orders have the 800# on the back. I hope this helps someone. If you receive any of these, please do not deposit them into your account.

I have recieved the exact same money orders from the same people as you have Rob.$910 Walmart moneygram 3 of them called the 800# 2 out of three have been cashed already. I just love how easy it is for them to do this and get away with it I have found no one who is interested in doing anything about this problem it seems that alot of honest people are dealing with right now and that is too bad. I am sure these scam artists could be caught and taken care of if someone wanted to. Watch out don't if you think it is too good to be true you are right!!!!!!!!!!

i was to victim of the wal-mart scam. i received 4 money order for $850,each totaling $3400. i asked several people was the real simply because i couldn't believe someone would send me that much money. so instead of cashing the money-orders i asked wal-mart to call money-gram place and have them checked, they called the police instead, so i got arrested for 4 1st degree forgery, in which i may add i did not sign my name to either money order, nor did i make the money order out to mysel,that was on july 29. on aug 2 i received a phone call saying that i had signed up for employment in the uk, so i was like what, no i didnt so the guy told me yes you did and stated my full name and address including phone number. stating did i received the money orders he had sent so i was scared simply because i had got a phone called after i got out of jail. please be on the look for these frauds. i had signed up for the mystery shopper employment information, come to find out it was a fake website site in which my personal information was redeem by a foreigner in united kindom. but the money gram came from nashville tenn. so what do i need to do now, i ha ve court on dec. 13 @8:30 a.m. please respond with some helpful information.

Thanks so much for all of the sharing about the Wal Mart money gram scam. Educating people on these type things is the only way we are going to be able to minimize the tragedy of it. These money orders look so real, I actually got excited thinking they were real. Because I had checked into several opportunities to earn extra money via the internet, I thought somehow it could be related. In my case there was no letter of explanation, just 3 $910 Wal Mart Money Gram money orders that look very very real.
