I recieved and e-mail from this company that is supposedly located in China. Once again talking about the same scam where they send you a bad cashiers check for you to deposit and then re-send the funds to various people oversees after deducting your 10%.
Last Feb. I was almost scammed by a fake not-for-profit organization called Concordia. THey sent me a $3000.00 check. Luckily for me my bank was able to spot the check as a fake 15 mins after I deposited it. Also, I was to send $1000.00 oversees, and since my ATM only lets me withdraw $500 per day, I also lucked out because I got the email instructions after the bank had closed.
I was sinced contacted by a postal inspector in Atlanta. She told me that because the company was oversees that there was nothing that they could do.
My bank also told me that if they hand't caught the fake check because of an observant teller, it would have taken 10 days to confirm that the check was fake by which time, I would have been in serious trouble. I thanked god that they had caught this check early. I don't have $3000.00 to pay back the bank had they not spotted the check as a fake.
What I am doing now, which I didn't do in the past is to save everything this company is sending me. I wont deposit any of the checks that I recieve, but if anyone has any suggestions about what I could do with this evidence, please email me I just want to try to get back at one of these scam artist if that is at all possible.

Thank you

Olvan,
Welcome, and glad to hear that you did not become a victim of this scam. I did remove your email address from your post . . . if people want to contact you they will use the "PM" or "email" buttons . . . you don't need to post your contact info.

The sad fact is that there is no way to "get back" at these people because they are in another country. The best way to fight these scams is through education . . . the more people who know about the scams, the less people will fall victim to them. So if you really want to help the cause, then spread the word and tell others what almost happened to you.
