 "Classic Scam"
"but they once gave me a FedEx account number to have something shipped to me, and it wasnt any good."Having someone ship something to you... is a classic scam. There are two variations... 1) You use your credit card # order something, ship it to the other person and they send you a BOGUS CHECK. Sometimes they give you a stolen credit card number to use instead... so they get the merchandise and you get the headaches. 2) They send you a BOGUS CHECK for OVER the amount needed and ask you to use Western Union to send them the difference. I really can't imagine anyone using a check to pay for freelance writing services. I also can't imagine doing any more work of any kind for any reason if someone sent you a bogus check! And, remember, in the USA it can takes MONTHS for a bank to return a forged check and take the money out of your account. The process often goes like this: Day 1) You deposit bogus check Day 2) You send money/merchandise to the person. Day 150) The bank sends the check back to you saying it was forged and removed the full amount of the check plus service charges from your account! |
