[olor=red][/color]I AM AFRAID I HAVE BECOME A VICTIM OF A FRAUD...I ANSWERED A "WORK AT HOME" AD THROUGH A CAREER SEARCH SITE. IT WAS FOR RECEIVING MONEY ORDERS, TAKING TO BANK AND CASHING,KEEPING 10%, AND FORWARDING BALANCE TO ADDRESS(ES) SENT TO ME. AFTER I RECEIVED THE MO FOR 4500.50 AND TRYING TO DEPOSIT IN BANK ACCOUNT, MY BANK WOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT, I RESEACHED ON INTERNET, AND CALLED # ON BACK TO VERIFY, WHICH TOLD ME THE MO WAS O.K, THEN ASKED FOR LOCATION AS TO WHERE I COULD CASH... WAS GIVEN A TRAVEL AGENCY WHICH DEALT WITH AMERICAN EXPRESS INTERNATIONAL MO'S, BUT I AM AFRAID TO TAKE IT THERE. WOULD I BE IN TROUBLE FOR JUST TRYING TO CASH THE THING? EVEN IF IT WAS CASHED, AND I FORWARDED THE BALANCE, (AFTER THE MO CLEARED) WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES AFTER? PLEASE REPLY! AM I IN TROUBLE FOR EVEN HAVING THE THING IN MY POSSESSION? WHAT SHOULD I DO/NOT DO? THANKS, RALBEE

If they are counterfeit, and they more than likely are, you could be arrested for trying to negotiate the money orders.

Tear them up and throw them away, and do not do any more buisness with the place that "hired" you for this "job.

If you answered an ad on a site, you could report the entire thing to the main site and they may take down the ad.

If you would be interested in sharing your story in any way with the media, send me a private message and I can help you with that.

It is starting to feel a little "lonely" around here. The traffic is not what it used to be. I am just hoping that people are busy with other things right now and will come back soon . . . I mean WHY would you NOT want to hang out with such a great group of people! 8)
