Eduardo emailed me : Hello,

The package contains a total payment of $1,900 (2 pieces of $950 M/O). You are to cash the Money Orders at your bank, deduct $200 as your commission for the 1st survey, you will have $1,700 left. Make use of $150 for your transportation & Western Union Charges. You are required to send a total of $1,550 to another Undercover Surveyor in another location (where a customer reported her funds missing) via Western Union Money Transfer so he can carry out another survey.

(if no response, drop a voice mail and I'll call back) What a MORON!!!!
I'm just waiting for the 'money orders' and am going to turn them in to the FBI - internet fraud division

DON'T YOU GUYS GET IT?  This is not ONE PERSON sending all of these emails.  It is obviously a group of people, or more likely, similar to chain mail.  Looking online, this is happening on all types of sites with all types of emails from Northern California to Michigan, for cars to couches, and more.

I posted a couch on detroit metro craigslist, Oakland County area.

I was first suspicious when the email address showed up different on my mobile email compared to my screen on my PC.   one was [email protected], one was eddy66eddy@something, now this one is from [email protected].  It almost sounds like they are using old disposed email addresses, because I think that some of these "domain" names belong to universities (possibly another federal charge if they are public universities, to add to their sentences for being complete idiots)


This is the email I got after responding that the couch was still available a few days ago:


caller:  Mr Ed    

Hello,
I got your initial email stating that your Couch is still available for sale. I would like to know the lowest price you would go for the Couch.

I would have been happy to travel down for the pickup and payment of the Couch myself, but I just relocated due to an urgent project. However, my daughter works with United State Postal Services (USPS) and we will be glad to pay with a USPS Money Order. She has also arranged with a Mover/Driver who will come for the pickup of the Couch at your address or any public place of your choice. I'll appreciate it if you consider it sold to us via this means.

We will only come for pick up after you have received the Money Order and they have been duly processed at your Bank, only there and then will we arrange for the pick up of the Couch. I would like to know how your name should appear on the USPS Money Order and what valid residential/office address or public place should we mail it to via UPS courier service. We are ready to make payment as soon as we get your mailing details. Pls signify clearly if the Couch is no more available so we don't waste time with endless discussions. Thanks for selling it to us via this medium.

Mr Ed
