This was well thought out. i've been a victim of scams before (never lost $$$ but very, very close) but this one is pretty slick.
FIRST OFF - JUST STOP YOURSELF AND THINK FOR A SECOND.
Scams only work if you send them MONEY!
So to lure you in they send a bad check - looks good - but REAL BAD!
DON'T WANT TO GET SCAMMED? DON'T SEND MONEY - TRUST ME WORKS EVERYTIME!
Back to this little scam... here's why it was good and you may FALL for it but don't.
They write the check with a logo from a local business on it - you know - one you can trust. My came in with the very familar "Goldman Appliances Inc" logo
on it. Hmmmmmmmmmm... I trust them - known for years.
Then they wrote it out of the local bank - "Independent National" - Hmmmmmmmmmmmm know them too. - this is got to be real - RIGHT?
WAIT A MINUTE!!!
If I just won some European Lottery... why would the check becoming from my favorite local hardware store??? Hmmmmmmmm... seems strange doesn't it.
And wait a minute the Zip Code on he check for the "Independent national bank" is wrong...??? How could that be???
And if I won the European Lottery - why would I have to send my money to Canada???
Holy RIPOFF BATMAN... I think we dost be scammed...
STOP _ THINK _ DON"T SEND MONET _ DON"T CASH CHECK!
