All who have been scammed by one Michael Scott - there is a new twist to the horror.  I was contacted by a James D. Faulkner - via text - who claims to be a federal agent undercover trying to recover "our money".  This is another SCAM!!!  
Phone # 347.875.7994
He asks for receipts of any wire transfers made to Michael Scott to be emailed to him at:  [email protected]

I did this - made sure that my address wasn't visible.

Then Mr. Faulkner sends a story about how they are closing in, but needs an affidavit for Michael Scott's arrest - interestingly, the form requires all sorts of personal information to be disclosed by you with a "retainer" fee for the attorney - that will only be paid if money is recovered.  The rest of the money recovered will be returned to the original sender (that would be us)  Red FLAG!  Then Mr. Faulkner sends a "ID" to try to prove who he is.

I turn all of this over to my local Sheriff's Office - they confirmed it is yet another SCAM.
