| Provided you haven't sent any money you'll be okay | May 14 |

What shall I do now? I am really freaking out that this person might use my address agains me and I don't know waht to do...
The scam is not that you have given her your address, which is probably available from a number of different databases. The scam, as mentioned in the message right above yours, is that the check will be too large and she will ask you to pay back the "excess". If you do send this money, the check itself will bounce in a couple of days and the deposit will be reversed as if it had never existed. Any money you were to send her it is real, however, and you would never get it back. It's a very old scam that predates the internet. Throw away the check, and ignore all communication going forward. Provided you haven't transferred any money, you will be fine.

I haven't sent them anything - luckily, I found this chat soon enough before making the biggest mistake of my life:) Next time I will be more careful:)

| | | | | Same document from a Dennis Shore but he is willing to pay by transfer | May 27 |
Hi, guys. This Dennis shore has sent me the same document a few weeks ago. I was excited to have my first direct client, finally! I sent him my CV (so he has all my personal information, I'm from Argentina) and the bank account in USA where I receive payments. He was willing to make the transfer (USD 600), but when I googled his phone number I found this and I told him that the project was cancelled. No response at all during 7 days, till now that I've just received this email. What should I do?... See more Hi, guys. This Dennis shore has sent me the same document a few weeks ago.

He was willing to make the transfer (USD 600), but when I googled his phone number I found this and I told him that the project was cancelled. No response at all during 7 days, till now that I've just received this email. What should I do? If he really makes the transfer, where is the scam? I don't understand what he might thinking about:
"I am so sorry for the payment delay, you have nothing to be afraid of, there is death in the family of my sponsor so I have little delay. I hope the project is in progress now? But I am happy to inform you that your payment has been initiated to you by my sponsor. Also, we discussed considering you for the next phase of this project, but I need to be sure the first phase will be well translated. The additional fee for the next phase of the project was added. We've calculated the next phase with your rate, so the first phase and the next document will cost us $3,776.10. So a payment of $3,776.10 has been initiated by Botetourt County, Virginia into a bank account ending with XXXXX 1199.
The Remitter Name and Address is below:
Botetourt County, Virginia
P.O. Box 100 Fincastle, VA 24090
Remitter Bank is First Bank and the purpose is REFUND
Kindly watch out for it. We don't have much time now.
Amount : $3,776.10
Kindly confirm with me as soon as you receive the payment. I hope to hear from you soon". ▲ Collapse
