Sorry but i'm obviously missing something here. Whats the meaning behind this?

I have sent email to abuse@moneysavingexpert.com to ask that the email address gets removed from the OP.

I believe this is all about international money transfer, and possibly linked to the nigerian scammers - definitely one to stay absolutely clear of!

I had the same message yesterday. They were using a "Netscape.net" email address so I contacted Netscape to tell them that one of their accounts was being used for fraud.

Thank you for enlightening me, i couldn't work it out :eek:

Yep, it's a means of money laundering and also does indeed have links to the Nigerian scamming rings...

With you acting as a representative for your "employers," a "client" sends you a payment by paper means. You then pay this into your bank account and it appears to be cleared and the money is credited to your account. As agreed with your "employer," you then send the majority of these funds to them via Western Union (highly likely form of transfer used) minus a percentage that you keep as commission for doing such a fine job.

A few weeks later, your bank then contacts you to advise that the payment cheque was actually a very good fake and therefore the full money amount that you thought had cleared (and subsequently was paid by the bank into your account) becomes a debit against your account, resulting in you actually owing the FULL amount (normally a fair few thousand) to your bank.

You contact your "employers" to query this situation and "DING DONG!," it would appear that their e-mail addresses no longer work and you cannot contact them again...

Youy end up with a severe debt with an unforgiving bank and may also possibly get some grief from your local Police in regards to cashing fraudulent cheques.

Keep well away!

Hope that helps.

This phoney cheque scam is also being used to buy stuff on Ebay and other places. Say you are selling something for £2000, these crooks will send you a third-party cheque for something like £5000. They will ask you to pay for the goods with this cheque and send the balance of £3000 back to them.

As stated above, you pay this cheque into your bank, it appears to clear, you write your own cheque for £3000 and send it to them, along with the goods they have bought. A few weeks later their cheque bounces and you are left £3000 down, plus the £2000 for the goods you sent them.

This scam has been featured on the BBC Three Counties consumer programme a couple of times. They had a look at some of these cheque and they did, at first glance look OK. One, for instance, was a dividend cheque from Centrica, but it turned out to be a forgery.

Indeed. Anywhere that the scam can possibly work, they'll be there plying their "trade," even in local trade papers and such like :rolleyes:

Utter scum... :rolleyes: :mad:

Cheers trisontana :beer:

They also do this on
1. Samll family hotels - eg book 20 rooms for a fortnight, send cheque, then cancal and ask for balance (minus an admin fee - sweetend the deal for the hoteliers)
2. Small operetta groups - eg I am rich and want you to perform at my daughters 18th party, again they book, send cheque and then cancel and ask for refund.
3. Autotrader is prime territory for them
4. Small travel agents

Scum
