I was sent money to shop with and write a report on the service. After doing so, a stop payment was placed on one of the money orders I had cashed at my bank. I can provide copies of all transactions and emails. Help!

- I received a Postal Money Order today for $975 from Megan B Warrick in Greensboro, NC. The letter stated that I must cash the money order @ my bank & give info on bank name, address, cashier name, how long it took, knowledge, & professionalism. I am to keep $150 for this survey. The 2nd task is to send money via Western Union to a Justin Moore in Tucker, GA & give all the above info for this transaction plus keep $150 for this survey. The letter was from JEFFREY LAWSON...no business name, address, phone #...NOTHING!!! How can people be so cruel as to scam people who are trying to make extra money to support their families???!!!! I just don't get it!!!

Dear cmh77,
Thank you for your comment. This is the same scam I fell prey to. It is called "Mystery Shopper" and one of the names is even the same (Jeffrey Lawson). Thankfully, you were able to spot it for what it was. It finally ended up costing me $4000. I had to take out a loan just to survive until I can get caught up again. Like you, I don't understand why obviously intelligent people want to spend their time taking advantage of others. I actually received another money order in the mail yesterday with the same return address on the envelope as the original (different from those above). There has to be a way to stop them! If you can think of anyone I can contact to do this, please let me know; all my attempts have come up to dead ends. My email is: (Personal Information Removed) and my phone# is: (Personal Information Removed). Thank you!

- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-umekBroww&feature=share I hope you can open this you tube video. I copied it from my post on facebook. I have exposed these people along with a "church" I was once sending money to...lots of money! Anyway, the person who did this video on you tube said go to the FBI because this is a FEDERAL OFFENSE when you have fake postal money orders. Hopefully, you can get somewhere with contacting them. I am going to tomorrow...didn't have a chance to go today. Your email & # was removed, so I figured I'd just send you a message thru here again. I hope this helps you! It's a shame it cost you that much money because of 1 as*hole! I actually have a post on here as well with all the info...pic's & all. the only thing I did was not write down the email address of jeffrey lawson...sent it to "unsubscribe" box & deleted it. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

- OH! AND DO NOT TOUCH THE ENVELOPE, MONEY ORDER, ETC... with bare hands if possible. Or at least touch as little as possible
