Hey everyone.. Well I'm kind of new to this seeing as I've never been scammed. I had received an email from CalebCole74@yahoo.com who claimed to be the Director of a fabric and textile company. He said he needed help with the transaction of money because he was located in the UK & couldn't receive money from US. He claimed "payments would be in soon" and that I would have 10% of every payment, which seemed pretty good to me considering it wasn't too much work & I could still enjoy the summer before going back to school. I was sent four $500 american express travelers checks which I had deposited into my account. I also received a check for $8,500. "Caleb" had asked me to send a western union for $3,600 ASAP to a country in Africa. Turns out that none of the travelers checks, nor the check was legitiment. I just got off the phone with my bank. Honestly, I don't have that kind of money being an 18 year old. I'm being held responsible, which I completely understand considering everything was under my name. But I WILL NOT stand for this - I absolutely WILL NOT stop until I find out who did this and track this person, I don't care how long it will take. This is outrageous. I didn't realize how many people it had ever happened to until I looked on this site. I have to say that this disgusts me to know that there are people out there willing to put other people at stake for them being greedy enough to screw people over like this. I don't know what to do now. Does anyone know what my next step should be? Please help.
