Well we had someone else try to scam us. What’s new!!! This person went by jenny_cares 1976. The scam went this way. She is a young U.S. citizen living in the UK going to school. Her school is almost over and she is coming back to the states. Right up front we told her that we will give her no money to get here, but when she arrives we will take care of her needs. She talked to my husband first than she spoke with me. This went on for about 2 to 3 months. Her story was that her parents died and she had been living with a male friend of her father’s and didn’t want to go back to FL to him. She told us that he was going to give her money so she could get back to the states. The problem is she would have trouble getting the money. She had him (Michael Clinton) contact me by email to see if I would be willing to get the check and take care of getting “Jenny” here. I said that would be fine. Jenny tells us that her exams are over and she is getting ready to return to the states. I thought this was a scam all along, but my husband was more open minded about the situation. A couple of weeks go by and we receive a check for $4600 delivered by the UPS truck. Jenny contacted us and wanted to know if we got the check. Right up front the check did not seem right. For one thing this man is suppose to be in FL. The check was sent out of GA. Next the name on the check was not his name and it had a CA address. My husband did some checking and we found out that the check was written on a closed account. What the scam turn out to be is we get the check and send her $3000 for her bills and get her a ticket for $1600. By the time the check is found to be no good we would be out of $4600. Do these people think we are stupid! Beware! I am starting to hate this site. So far I haven’t found any real people. My husband talks with a few ladies, but I don’t want anything to do with anyone on here. We are seriously looking for someone to come live at our house, but I will be surprised if we find anyone on here. |
