Another interesting scam

Posted by Jeff Kemp on August 27, 2005 at 05:23:57 from (24.231.221.146):

I came across a few of these at work in the past few weeks. The buyer from Vancouver BC is buying items in the US using a Bank One check. The checks are REAL CHECKS with real bank accounts. They send the check to the seller certified mail. Once the seller signs for the check they cancel the check at the bank. The seller then cashes the check and sends the goods. Three days later the bank tells them the check was bad. Beware the bank is not responsible for the checks and will not give you your money back. I have seen three of these and all of them have the name Larry Williams on the account. The criminal will give the seller a valid cell phone number that is registered to Randy Johnson and not the baseball player either. Calling the number you hear an arabic voice on the voice mail. Problem with these cases is that the theft is actually occurring in Canada making this very hard if not impossible to prosecute. To prevent this type of fraud cash the check and wait a minimum of three days before you send the goods. Good Luck.
