wal-mart money orders

James Scott, from that same email address just asked to pay me with a money order for my mattress. As I would never go for a money order, I offered another means of payment. What kind of scam is her running?

I am selling t-shirts on a website forum to profit an organization for a disease my son recently passed away from. I am collecting money for the t-shirts, and I recieved 3 money orders in the mail, titled "Albertsons') for $980.00 each. There were no instructions, and did not include any info reguarding the shirts. I deposited these money orders anyway because I figured they were for the shirts, and this person prob. just forgot to include the number of shirts they were ordering. I just found out that all 3 money orders were fake, and the back froze my account.... denying me access to any of the other money in my account! The bank is investigating... but is there anything else I can do?

hey guess what happened to me two days ago, i got scammed! i was sent by my "said supposed to be employer" i havn't met him yet, he gave me 2pieces of $1000 walmart money orders and i cashed them out, and sent him the $1,500 and i had $400 left.. damn, the next day he sent me again 3 more $1000 a piece.. good thing the bank detected that it was fraud! i only cashed out $2000.. now, im starting to pay for it. i reported it to the police, but they said they can't do anything about it. pffft... but yeah, can't blame them. what im wondering is that, why the hell does walmart let it loose?? i mean, isn't the management taking action of this??? their name are being ruined by scams! the hell are they thinking?? they should put action to this! NEVER ACCEPT WALMART MONEY ORDERS!

Yes, I am a sucker as well, I cashed an Albertsons money order for a friend because he had to work. I went to my bank and was given 950 dollars. I then gave the money to my so called friend. About 1 week later my bank took 950 dollars from my account.
After the fact I did some research, why don't banks know about this stuff and at least put a hold on it until it clears.
Banks should know more about this than we do

I also cashed a check for someone else for $l000.00. How do I get my money back?

i almost fell for two separate scams on craigs list. they are both sending me money orders as we speak but in my heart of hearts i don't feel right with the whole process so i have been researching scams and i reported them both to the consumer reporting agency and when the money orders get here i will turn them over to the fbi for printing and database searching to find the culprits some one will pay

I recived 3 money orders from walmart for I think 595.00.I could'nt belive it,it came at the right time I was broke and I didn,t live with my parent's anymore so hay I could use the money.I made a quick phone call to my parent's they told me not to do anything with them.My parent's live in a small town in greenville michigan hickville I call it.Well anyways I had brought them up to walmart with my mom and they called and comfirmed they were fake.They called the police and they took a report.Two years later I have a warrent out for my arrest for forgery.They came via fed ex and with my name on them.I simply told walmart if they were real I wanted the money and if they wernt they could keep them.I dont know what to do Im not guilty of forgery and I sure the hell didn'nt make them.I have to much to loose I have a good job and im in school part time for criminal justice.Anybody have a clue please contact me I refuse to let this ruin my record.My email is m_krammen@yahoo.com my name is michael~!

I have a few items forsale on craigslist and tonight I was emailed a response to one of my ad's from h.ford011@yahoo.com. So yes people she is still at it.

"Hi,

Thanks for the response to my introductory email..I am pretty cool with the price and condition and i am buying this for my cousin but my mode of payment will be the Most acceptable,safer and reliable means of payment which is United state certified money order...Also,i am going to add $40 to the price for you to withdraw the advert from site.Please do get back to me with your name and address so that payment can be sent to you as early as possible and i will have my shipper come to pick up the item once you receive and clear the payment....And if you have a picture of the item,kindly attached with your response so that i can send it to my cousin.

Kindest Regards,
Honey.

I did keep all 4500

I'M A "VICTIM" OF FRAUD! I WAS CONTACTED BY SOMEONE IN THE UK TO CASH WAL-MART MONEY ORDERS AND SEND VIA WESTERN UNION TO NIGERIA. I'VE LOST EVERYTHING; MY PAY CHECKS, MY OWN MONEY IN THE BANK (EVEN THOUGH WELLS FARGO HASN'T VERIFIED THAT THE MONEY ORDERS ARE INDEED FRAUD YET), MY CAR IS NEXT, CAN'T TAKE THE ROOF OVER MY HEAD JUST YET...YOU GET THE PICTURE. I'VE GONE TO THE FBI BUT NOT ALL OF YOU HERE HAVE CONTACTED THEM SO THE FBI CONSIDERS MY THOUSANDS INSIGNIFICANT TO INVESTIGATE BUT IF EVERYONE FILED A COMPLAINT IT WOULD ADD UP OR AT LEAST CONTACT ME AT...

I REFUSE "TO BE A VICTIM"

but you already are a victim, of stupidity. how anyone could fall for the nigerian swindle in this day and age is beyond me. or beyond you i should say. sorry you have to go through this, but the lesson must not have been learned earlier.

I received an order from Tanya Miller for Beauticontrol products totaling $944. She said she was currently out of the country for a while and would be sending payment by a client. I received 5 Wal-Mart money orders for $950 each by UPS. She emailed me the instructions: I was to take them to my bank, cash them, and wire by Western Union the balance after keeping the cost of the products and shipping. Well, instead I took them straight to the KY State Police! I sure am glad that I didn't order those products! I wish these people could be caught, but I understand that it is almost impossible. Beware!

BEWARE and act BEFORE you go for the bait! I answered an email for a Mystery Shopper out of sheer financial desperation that rendered my usually high functioning Good Sense, useless. It appears that the Walmart scammers have branched out and are now: SHOP FAST CO.,in my case, the person sending 2 Albertsons MoneyGrams for $977.77 each. I checked online sources such as the BBB and others and found nothing. I emailed the sender, DAVID WILLIAMS009@gmail.com, questioning him on why he would send me such a large sum of money and his answers were evasive, but the electric company was knocking at my door, so, against the knot in my stomach, I went for it. I'm on my way to the FBI now - I only hope and pray that jail won't be next. Please, DON'T EVER IGNORE YOUR GUT INSTINCT!
