Are there any true crime fans out there? Please give me any suggestions of what you want to see in this blog.
This is about true crime, so I want to tell you a story about myself. I just got charged with fraud last Wednesday. I'll tell you how this occurred, but I'm innocent. All the Internet users out there, BEWARE! There are people emailing you & claiming they have a business in a third world country selling pharmeceuticals, batiks, cloth, candles & the sort. They are asking for people to be third parties in payment processing. A person will send you a cheque for a huge amount with no return address. They want you to cash it & they'll give you 10% of the total. After you have cashed it, they give you Western Union information to send the rest of the money. When you try to cash this cheque, it turns out to be fraudulent.
This has happened to me twice. The first time, the bank teller told me I was a victim of fraud, but the second time, I should've known. I wasn't so lucky! There is no lottery to be won here, just a criminal record. If someone e-mails you asking you to do this, and you receive a cheque, make sure you save all the emails and don't cash the cheque! Turn it over to the police. Here's a website that will help you in catching fraudulent check users. www.ckfraud.org
