fwiw, I HAVE.....been getting the SAME conjob. Calls himself Sean Garner, wants a tudor for his kids LOL....... will pay in advance ...(long story short).....Check comes today..........OPPS my secretary sent the wrong check to you......please take out one weeks classes in advance.........SEND the rest to:
Sandra Snyder
Newport Oregon
97365
IF .....it seems to good to be true. IT IS. be careful out there.......
Just got a phone call from "Sean"...................said he got my reply email..........stating that I wouldn't send cash to Sandra LOL.........." I seemed SO helpful........WHY won't I help him out?........please send the EXTRA cash to Sandra.............."
I played stupid....said that I wasn't in a rush.....asked him to resend the correct amount and ALSO to his "nanny" LOL......this gets funnier by the minute.
VERY broken english...........in the emails he tried to PRETEND he was an attorney or something....I could tell by the broken english in the emails that something wasn't RIGHT. That was what made the first RED FLAG GO UP.
CUT to the chase...........he hung up on me. LOL................I started to send him another email stating that I'll be turning OVER ALL......this info to the FBI.........but not sure if I want to spend another micro second playin with this thief.
He sent me a check for more than the amount he should have paid me and asked me to money-gram the rest to another person. I called the bank and account number, name and address on the check were from a valid company but when I called the company they said they have not issued such a check and they have had problems with fraudulent checks. Definitely a defrauder.
