  • Thank you, Jamie, for posting your experience. I received the same email and was tempted to look into it, when "a feeling" nudged me to Google larryward01. Your post came up. I will heed your warning and delete the email. Hope your bank will work with you and not hold you responsible for the remaining money.

  • 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!!!!!!

  • 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!

  • 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!!!

  • No matter how many times fraudsters get busted more keep trying to pull the same trick. Regardless of numerous celebrations having been caught, secret shopper frauds are still rampant.

  • i wouldn't recommend that anyone do as i do, of course. to me, playing with fools like this is fun, and it gives me a lot of joy to tell them that i ripped them off.
    apparently, i have just finished my fourth assignment from our mystery shopper pal, since he has not responded to the email i sent him in response to his threat to contact the fbi and so forth. i don't know why. it was actually quite nice, especially for me.
    i'm eagerly awaiting the fifth one

  • well, western union isnt a scam.. in themselves... Ive used them to send money to my son.. THEY are legit.. its the people that use a good company that are not legit. But yea, I WOULD never even go so far as to answering the email.. I mean, the people that say they got the money order in the mail, and then say its a scam, well, at first, guess they werent so smart.. because they GAVE THEIR HOME ADDRESS! or PO whatever! that was DUMB! I have NEVER OPENED these emails! I AM that smart! just see them and DELETE and keep blocking the email addresses they use to send them. As they change them over and over again to keep getting thru.

  • I totally agree with iamjumbo.. I mean, ANYTIME! der, an UNSOLICITED email comes thru, its a SCAM! just the fact that the way their email to you sounded was bogus! the bank WILL show the funds as good the next day usually BUT the money order etc has NOT yet cleared and therefore, it is your own fault for believing in anyone you have NEVER met, Spoken to over the phone, anything! People that fall for these things deserve what they get. I believe. Sorry to be blunt but it is true! ive been getting their UNsolicited emails for weeks now IN MY JUNK email and they go straight to delete and then I blocked them. they find a way to change their email add tho to keep getting thru, just keep blocking them. NEVER trust anyone that emails you anything! when you have NO idea who they are! rediculas you did all that!

  • I work for SurveyMonkey. We are sorry to tell you that you were targeted by a scam in which the perpetrators have impersonated SurveyMonkey by fraudulently using our name. The letter and check that you received did not come from us at SurveyMonkey, but is part of a scam known as a Counterfeit Check-Facilitated "Mystery Shopper" scam, which you can learn more about at the following links:

    https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/radDocs/consumer/MysteryShopperScam2.pdf

    http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2009/april/workathome_041709
    The perpetrators have used SurveyMonkey’s name to give themselves false credibility. None of the people to whom you spoke on the phone are SurveyMonkey employees, and SurveyMonkey does not operate any "mystery shopper" jobs. The phone number and fax number you have been provided are not ours. The address, while similar to our real address, has been purposely changed so that it is incorrect.

    We take this issue very seriously and our legal team is aware of the illegal use of the SurveyMonkey name and has been in contact with the police, who are now attempting to track down the perpetrators responsible. We urge you to do the same - these fraudsters will only be caught if their victims come forward. We are aware of dozens of people who have been targeted by this scam. Please contact your local law enforcement officers, the U.S. postal inspector, and your bank to warn them of the fraud. Please also notify the wire transfer company you used. We sincerely hope that you are able to recoup any funds you may have lost.

  • i truly am sorry about your situation. i do hope that you learned your lesson though. the first email came unsolicited. that was a clue. i realize that a lot of people are going through tough times, but that is precisely why this kind of shit is out there. i see that there are a couple of trips with foreign lotteries. that's another thing. why would you send anyone three hundred dollars or so to collect a lottery that you never entered?
    i had one idiot with a next of kin scam get all upset because i told him that i would just go to nigeria to pick up the money instead of wasting $750 for a courier service.
    you're right that the bank had no right telling you the checks had cleared when they hadn't. you should be hassling them about that. however, the other funds that you kept sending were insane. what possessed you to think that anything was legit after the first ones?

  • i cannot believe that ANYONE would fall for this. i am just starting my 4th "assignment" from this fool. why would anyone be stupid enough to actually deposit the checks or money orders in the bank to begin with? i've gotten one check, and two postal money orders from these idiots. i take the money orders to the post office to be turned over to the postal inspector.
    i have over a hundred thousand dollars worth of bogus checks and other money orders. it is fun to play with idiots like anderson. it costs them money to send the stuff ups or fedex.
    i would think that anyone over ten years old would know better than to think it is a real job
