I met someone. They are from the usa and doing business in the Philippines. The person seems to not read my emails. Never answers my questions. Looks lie a porn star. Ok I know its a scam. But she happens to be short $2700. and needs me to put in her account. Of course she will give it back to me doubled. Heres the problem. She gave a Wells Fargo account which actually is an account in her name. I have verified this with Wells Fargo. The account is active. I looked up her name and this person actually does indeed live where the bank account is. What is the scam? I know if i deposit into her account i cant get it back but the account seems legit and the name and age is legit. Whats going on here?

The account will belong to a money mule who is another scam victim and thinks that they have a job receiving payments for the scammer (or are doing it for an Internet friend). The scammer has stolen their identity to commit the scams. Please can you post (or PM it to me) the email giving you the bank details and we can pass them to the relevant authorities and try to warn the account holder that she is being scammed.

the best thing for you to do is totally block the scammer and stop responding - don't tell them you know it is a scam, just disappear.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
