Just been reading some of the scam alerts what the hell is the world coming to.

All this thing about they will send you a check for £3000 and your tank is up for £300 say so wouldn't one wait until the check has cleared before you would send the money to them anyway.

We know its a scam but you would'nt let anything go unless the check has cleared first anyway would you.

Ya notice that most of tham scams have got a yahell email addy mmmmm.

what they do is to reclaim the cheque funds even after it has beeen accepted and cashed by the bank.

it is a loophole that many are not aware of. even after a few months, cheques can in fact be reclaimed.

so, they reclaim the big cheque they give you, and also cash the smaller payment you give them - this is their profit on the operation.

if they sense you are easy prey, then they will try and milk it further.
