I am SSOOOO Happy that I found this to be a scam, and that many people are aware of this. Something has to be done to stop these people. I was involved in an inet scam to work as a median for an ART Sculptor who was selling his sculptures here in the US. In payment I received $5000 worth in COUNTERFEIT American Express Gift Checks, unbeknownts to me. Before I could check more into his company, and this person, the checks were sent to me. Me being the very honest person, and naively trusting person I am, and GOD fearing, did exactly as this person wanted me to do. Took them to my bank, cashed them and sent $4500 through Western Union to Benin Africa, where this person would be. Needless to say, a week later, American Express had returned the checks to my bank, and I am now in the process of paying my bank back $5000. I tried to open a Counterfeit case with American Express and am getting NO WHERE!!! So now I am going to warn American Express that they are enabling the Counterfeiters by not helping the people who are trying to open Counterfeiting cases with American Express. I will do something about this, and it will be taken care of.
Since this, I have been a victim of the first scam, I have gotten a scam a day sent to me by everyone who is trying to scam anyone.
Been hearing this country lately?
