Internet Money Scams

I am too old and should be wise enough by my age to know better. Which I guess I am just so lonely that I keep falling for pretty faces and good stories. I have really messed up this time, which I usually know not to do what they ask, but this time I am out of mind on what I am going to do now. My bank account is - $2000.00 and I draw $790 a month, how was I so dumb? I am going to lose all my check for the next three months. I will lose my membership here at Wealthy Affiliate and my place to live,how was I so dumb?

This Is How A Scam Works.

First they send you a friend on FaceBook with a good-looking picture. Then they talk with you for months, then they come up with a reason that they don't have a bank account. They want to deposit a check in your bank account, of course the check is no good. It may take the bank days or a week to find that the check is fake or written on a closed account. So the money shows up in your account as a good check, then they want you to send part of the money back to them. Of course, they give you a little of the money for doing this for them. In a few days, your bank sends you a notice that your account is minus the money that you have sent them.

How Do You Send Them The Money?

That is according of how much money it is, small amounts an Amazon or iTunes. Big amounts the new way to send money is Walmart to Walmart. How they do this is you send them a picture of the receipt with authorization number and the amount. When you go to Walmart to send the money, you have to have a name of who you are sending the money to and their address, which the face you are sending the money for has given you the information of who is getting the money. This is how this scam works and if someone who you have just talk with ask you to do this don't you will be sorry that you did.

Why Did I Fall For This Scam?

Well my wife five years ago this month and I guess I am just lonely. They prey on people like me that have lost a loved one or are just only. They promise they are coming to be with you and take care of you, but you will never hear from them after you send the money out unless they think you real stupid, then they will want you to open another bank account at a new bank and promise that what they send you will make up for the last one. Please Don't Fall For this Scam!!!!!!

What To Do If You Get Scammed!

Go to your bank and tell them what has happened. Keep all the information that you have from however you sent the money. They have a fraud department in their company, you are still responsible for the money, but maybe they will get caught. If they get caught maybe they will have money with them when they do, but if you don't report the fraud you will not get anything back. Please Don't Fall For This Kind Of Scam!

There Are People Out There That All They Want Is Your Money.

They are to lazy to work, like you have all your life and they look for lonely older people. They will tell you anything and promise you the world. I don't know what is going to happen to me, They don't care if they ruin your life, all they want is cash. Please Don't Send Cash To Someone You Don't Really Know!

In conclusion!

I feel like an old fool, because I know better than to fall for something online like this type of scam. I just got online in 2009 and the first thing I did was look for things that I knew were scams. I received $250,000 in bad checks and money orders, I did this to keep others from falling for these scams, because it took money to send me the fake money. Always received the checks and money orders through UPS, their rates are not cheap. Also, I got their attention on me for a little while anyway and off someone else. I took these fake checks and money orders to every Law Enforcement agency, not one of them were interested in even looking at them, I ended up throwing them away. Not one agency cared, so I quit doing it, because no one cared about catching these thieves. If someone wants you to cash a check for them and send you a check. Take it to the bank that it is written on and check to see if it is real. You can also call the bank if one is not close to your location. I don't know what will become of me, because I did what someone online ask me to do. Please don't be stupid and fall for the scam I did., don't cash anything you received online and don't go to WalMart to send the money! You will be the one left holding the bag.
