Junior1987 and everyone else, I also found this job offer on craigslist and sounded legit to me. We need to come to the bottom of this, I ask you Junior and everyone here help me. Junior I would love to share information with you, You said you have a lot of information from this guy, UPS accounts and so on. I also have some of his UPS accounts, versacheck login, and he uses a lot of different email addresses and names. I was able to track down his IP address from an email header, I know what ISP he uses and what country he is in. Let's share information and have this guy caught, people don't deserve this, let's work like a team bro.

One more thing, did he ever pay you? he payed me once, but that was the refund for the materials like check paper, envelope, printer ink and so on.
I also have all the emails and all the chat logs with him or her, who knows.
get back at me, looking to work with you guys

i told "Benson" if that really is his name, that i dont want to take the money if its coming from people who got scamed. so i never got payed, i spent 145 out of my own pocket, for the software, versa check paper, and envelopes. I still have all of his supplies, ive been waiting for police, they told me i couldnt file the report at the station? idk why!? but they sent a unit to my house that has yet to show up, so well see what happens.

And hey King2006, i am willing to share info, ill give it all to the police.

I read the posting Enchantress posted, and it looks very familiar the way it was written on craigslist. Hope nobody else falls for it.

@Kings2006

Welcome to Scamwarners. Please post anything you have from your scammer in here, or pm or email to any of the other moderators in here.

This forum is set up to deal with scammers, we have links to varying law enforcement people and can deal quicker with postal services, law enforcement and others as required.

But we do need as much information as possible, emails with headers, correspondence, etc. It all makes our job easier.

Sorry hear you got burned, but we're pleased to see you in here and publicising it.

Hi Kings

Welcome to Scamwarners

If you do have information to share, i would prefer if you would share it with us rather than amonst yourselves, as John suggested, we have access to many contacts who can and will deal with this very quickly.

My first concern is for the safety of our members and dont take offence by this but I would not like those who post here to be lured into a false sense of security and start divulging information with other people here who say they are looking for help also.

There simply is no way of knowing if you are actually part of the same group of scammers and while I do not believe that is the case, our regular members do not have access to check out the validity of your claims and this could lead to unnecessary concerns for either of you.

I do have an email address in my signature line that you can use if you wish to contact me or you can use the sites PM system to contact our support team for advice.

ok
So ive attempted to talk to the police 3 times today, and they haven't been able to help me! The first time i called my local sheriffs department, and they send a unit over within 20 min. But he had to take off, i heard his radio going off, so he responded to it. He told me hed be back, but i waited almost 5 hours and nothing.

I went to the police station, and they rudely told me to go home, and call back they will send me a unit over. well i called them about 4 hours ago, and nothing. No cop has showed up. What should i do?

So long as you have done what you can, they will hardly be able to say you have hidden anything from them, wait for their response for the monent and keep a record of who you spoke to and when.

Meanwhile we might be able to get the ball rolling from here

Thanks to everyone for such a nice welcome. Getting down to business let me give you some facts

He created a Gmail account for myself it was Removed@gmail.com
shortly after he disabled it, and the passwords was Removed. just throwning it in there it might help in a way

I had spent about $160 in supplies, after doing the checks for a week he refunded me $100. He sent it through western union and the named used was Terry Ruble, I had asked about terry ruble and he said its just a client.

I have his login information for versacheck, go to versacheck.com, click account manager and for the username he uses the email Removed@gmail.com
and his password is Removed

Notice under account information he uses the name Christian Simeo, I have no idea what his name is. First it benson, then kenny,James williams, maybe even terry ruble and now Christian Simeo. Also uses a lot of emails

just like junior1987 I have labels I printed and still have some on my computer, I have information of three different banks he provided to me such as routing number, account and fictional number, of course bank name and address too.

I also had two of his UPS accounts, now I only have one. The first one his username was Removed and password Removed, and the second one is the one I still have, I know its bad but what i did was i chnaged the password so he wont get in. So i have those details, I will post those details later.

I want everyone to notice when i give you that log in info login and notice he uses an expired credit card, I have no idea how he is cheating UPS as well. I contacted UPS and they told me to send them the two different tracking numbers and they can help. He also order and I got it delievered at my house 500 UPS envelopes, air way bills and some Fedex envelopes, I still have not opened them

I have all my emails and I even have all the chats saved in a log. Myself being interested in computer forensics and computer security I went ahead and tracked him down by IP address and I got some good information. Hopefully it is not spoofed

Multi-Links Telecommunications Limited- this is believed to be his ISP
In continent of Africa, and country of Nigeria
City says Lagos
82.128.20.240 thats the IP I tracked down from the server

he also told me this was his website
http://workathomeunited.com/jendm

I have more information but i dont have access to my other files there at home, I will try and get them by tomorrow

I have removed login details from your post, please don't put this information in the forum, we can not use any of these passwords but we can include such information in any reports we make. Please PM this to myself or one of the support team members that you see online - Ralph

Thanks Kings, everything you can post here helps

We'll have someone working on the USPS side when its daylight there, don't post any details yet, there will be someone soon for you to pm the details to.

edit to add, I'll be adding to this as I go today. Work in progress sign please.

Given that the site was first registered in 2006 through to 2010, but not updated since 2008, I'm wondering if it is still legit or taken over.

I'm emailing the original registrant to check. If anything we'll have one or the other call into here.

Thanks.



EMAIL #2

Hello,

Glad to read from you. I'm really interested in the unit but i'm so sorry as i won't be able to come for a look as i'm the busy type. Well, i'll keep in touch with my financier to mail a check for the amount you're requesting and will have a shipping company to come for the pick up as soon as you confirm to me that you receive the check and it clears your bank.
If this arrangement is acceptable, pls get back to me with the info below

# Payee name:

# Physical contact address {home/office}:

# Telephone number:(Cell and Home)

Please write back as soon as possible so we can proceed.

Thanks.



EMAIL #3

Hello,

Guess you're doing great!! I'm so sorry for my late reply. Well, Payment had been mailed to you and i'm pretty sure it will be delivered to you on or before friday via UPS courier service. I also want you to be aware that the check coming to you includes the shipping cost of the item which implies that as soon as you cashed the check, you'll be sending the shipping cost included to the shipping co. via money gram so they can come for the pick as that's the only mode of payment they accept.(i'm so sorry for not telling you about this earlier).

The shipping company will be contacting you via email to schedule the pick up date and time, pls. respond to them.

Thanks alot for your understand and have a great day.

Welcome animablue, I'm so glad that you made it here in the nick of time!! Yes, what you've posted is an example of a standard overpayment scam involving a fraudulent check. The key to recognizing it is this bit:

I also want you to be aware that the check coming to you includes the shipping cost of the item which implies that as soon as you cashed the check, you'll be sending the shipping cost included to the shipping co. via money gram

The scammer will of course be playing the role of the "shipping company" and the check will be fraudulent.

You can tell the scammer that you aren't selling your item or are selling locally, etc. and then just completely ignore any and all emails from him. You don't owe him any explanation and confronting him won't have any benefit.

Please read this topic on check scams: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3237

When the check arrives either tear it up or mark it as fraudulent and save it as a souvenir of a near miss but having been smart enough to do some research. You can also contact the bank that the check is written on and notify them that the account is compromised and being used by a scammer.

Thanks so much....

So what do you suggest?

When the check arrives tear it up or contact the bank that the check is written on and notify them that the account is compromised and being used by a scammer?

whats better?

thanks again

A.

I wrote the scammer to ask where is he from, and he sent this:

Hello,

Good to hear from you,My Name is teddy Rhema and I'm located in Pa.i'm one of the fifa representative.presently in africa for preparation of the coming world cup.
Pls,write back to me asap you receive the parkage for the payment via UPS courier service.

Hope to read from you soonest.


Teddy.

--------------------------------
Should I reply or ignore it?

thanks again

A.

Hi animalblue. Thank you for posting this information here. It may help to prevent others from being scammed.

Jillian's advice is spot on.

When the check arrives either tear it up or mark it as fraudulent and save it as a souvenir of a near miss but having been smart enough to do some research. You can also contact the bank that the check is written on and notify them that the account is compromised and being used by a scammer.

It would be in your interest to stop all communications with the scammer. You don't owe it/him any favours. But if you like to have the last word then...

You can tell the scammer that you aren't selling your item or are selling locally, etc. and then just completely ignore any and all emails from him. You don't owe him any explanation and confronting him won't have any benefit.

Atention everyone!!

"[email protected]" is also using this email "[email protected]" becarefull!!! I almost got scammed.... Im afraid though, for I found out about this scammers after I gave him my email address to send the payment via paypal, my phone number, my name, and work address... for this person to feel secure about the transaction, and be able to pick up the item!!!

I removed the email address from my paypal account, so this person is not able to send anything to me, but I am afraid he/she comes after me....I hope Im wrong....anyways I just filed a complaint with IC3 (Internet Crime 3)
