Help Wanted, Send Money – The Saga Continues and Now I’m Scared
I responded that I wouldn’t send any upgrade money and the gentleman told me he would talk to his boss to see if there was a way around that fee. A few weeks later, apparently there is!
My newest email is quite lengthy but skim it to uncover a poorly hidden scam. But what is this? Money laundering? Where is this money really coming from?
This package is actually on the way from NYC. To what address? Rebecca Coutant in San Pedro, Belize? It is in Managua, Nicaragua right now. Waiting for transport to Belize.
Someone tell me what is really going on. And…I am starting to get nervous. I don’t like my name on this package. Advice?
Bottom line: this is obviously money laundering or a fake check so I won’t be involved in this going forward. And I suggest you aren’t either.
