Spam-scam crackdown nets $2 billion in fake checks

I got stung for $168,000 by scammers: These guys are very slick - they completely duplicated everything for a real, legitimate business, but changed minute parts of the shipping address so things would go to them instead of the actual business - and the bank checks they used came from the actual bank that the business used - they had someone working inside the bank print the checks for them - very very slick people - luckily the bank told me everything was fake 2 hours before I was about to ship the products to them - so it killed my business totally in one shot and the banks wont let me make a new business account yet to this day - these people deserve to be shot in an execution squad.; Posted by: kokuryu Posted on: 10/04/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
