Hey There,
I have made it a priority to scam the scammers online. I get soo much junk email from Nigeria and the UK stating " You Won " THe most recent waas Abideenscott0000@gmail who wrote to me and asked me if I would help him cash his checks for him and keep 10% of the money and then send the balance via Western Union to his destination of choice. LOL!!!! so I played it out to see just how far Mr. Abideen Scott would actually take things.......and the dumbass was silly enough to actually fedex me a check to my home address ( keep in mind I did give a fake name, fake ss# and fake banking info to him for my own protection of course, but did give a real prepaid cell # and address)

But get a load of this..........Mr Abideen Scott himself started to call my cell phone religiously to make sure I had recieved his fedex package. ( Yes it was a real FEDEX package sent to my home)
I of course tried to get a return phone number for him assuring him I was off to the bank but was nervous about the amount of money he sent ( a check made out to my name for 4200.00 us dollars)

Of course to cover all my bases I did check with my own bank who ran the serial numbers and account numbers from the check and told me it was indeed a fake check.

for those of you who aren't aware and fall for something like this and actually deposit what Abideen Scott sends you into your own bank , your bank will press felony check fraud charges against you and you will wind up in jail.

I am trying to gather up all the info I can on Abideen scott, and am hoping for a phone # so I can turn him in for this terrible scam.

PS, I knew this was a scam going into it, please beware of giving out ANY personal info at all.

Sincerely,
1 Man Scam Buster
Please forward any info you have about this particular scam to me from the email link below

I always tell people to make sure that they are not giving out personal information if they are going to become a scambaiter.

Just an update, After recieving the fake bank check, I contacted the bank that it was forged from. West Coast Bank, they have an entire loss prevention team working on false bank checks written by abideen scott. they were very intersted to hear from me and I provided all emails and information that I had recieved from Abideenscott000 to them. they urge people to come forward and are aware that we are victims. They do not ask for any personal information unless it is offered or if you want to give it. they are strictly interested in capture and prosecution of abideenscott. So if you get one of those fake bank checks with WEST COAST BANK on the logo with a phone number do not hesitate to call and report it.

I wonder if that bank would be interested in putting up our new fraud alert flyer at their teller stations?
