<VV> E-Mail Scam

[Charles Lee at Proper Pro Per]

The scam is for you to cash her check, and then send her a money order or 
cash.

The victim will do this BEFORE the check clears, on "good faith," and then 
of course, the scammer's check bounces.  Sometimes, the scammer's check can 
bounce even after you thought it was cleared.  Check with your bank and make 
sure they don't "un-clear" it after you've sent "her" the money  !!!

So, you might even be able to scam the scammer by cashing it with a *NEW* 
account, wait for the check to clear, then help yourself to a healthy "check 
cashing fee" before sending "her" (probably a guy) the balance.

Make copies of everything and keep good records, and send them the money (or 
some of it) so they can't take legal action against you.

However, there may still be a scam there, by giving them your account info 
on their copy of the check that is eventually returned to this "gal."  Hence 
the NEW account, and not an existing account.

If you want to take the risk, give it a whirl, but be very careful.

Has anyone done anything but delete these scams ?

NOTE : I'm not an attorney, so I can't give legal advice. Anyone out there 
know about this (besides just deleting the scam) ?

I wish someone would try that with me.  I'd love to take my theory for a 
test drive.

VV,

I just got a letter from a gal who got my name and the engine was for sale.

The check was for $5500.00. I was just to check it and send the money back 
to her account.

SORRY!   I didn't do!

Just want to let you know!

Mike
