Thank you so much. I almost just got screwed. The exact same thing happened to me, but I looked up the number and then read this. You are awesome for taking the time to post this.
I am in the same situation now at South Carolina State University. He/She is targeting young people because he thinks that we are ignorant and dumb. In this insistence he changed his name to Marcin Loo and said he needed a babysitter for his daughter Pebble! So when I tried to google his name nothing came up about fraud but i kinda figured something was "fishy" about the situation. He sent me a check for $3000 and I put it in my bank account that same day, which was a bad mistake of mine. The next day he kept texting me from the number 2095422368 early in the morning about how i needed to hurry up and go to the bank and take $2000 and put it in a money order to be sent to some agent. So me and my boyfriend started digging deeper into the situation and we ended up finding a facebook page about him. He has been doing this at a lot of schools. I then went to the police and they verified that the check was a fraud. Now the bank is about to deactivate my account because i deposited a fake check and there is no way to stop it and i will not be able to open another one at that bank. This really pissed me off but I was really happy that i did not send him that money in a money order because if i did i would have been paying all that money back to the bank. The only thing i lost was a bank account and i can just always go open another account somewhere else. It was nothing but the grace of God that i found out he was trying to scam me.
It happen to me also and i did everything and now my account is over drafted3000 i really dont know what to do now this is crazy i went to the police and they are tracking everything i hope he/she get caught i am from south carolina state
I have had the same situation happen to me just this week. I am so glad I found this number on here. The person doing this found me through SitterCity.com with the story she needed a babysitter for her child Tammy. She sent me a 3,000 dollar check, and today she asked that I send 2,100 through western union to cover the toys and food I would need the month I keep her child. My bank tracked the check and said it was a legit account, but the other bank could not tell them if the money was in the account. They advised me to wait ten business days unitl it went through the federal system to ensure the 3,000 came through. The person is posing as Ana Rivera. She, if it is really a she, keeps demanding I send the money via western union tonight, and it has to be done tonight to ensure the items for her daughter reach me in time!!! I have not sent any money as I had an idea it may be a scam. I got off work late tonight, but I intend to go talk to the local police department tomorrow to try to see if this person can be caught. I hope no one else is effected by this.
