Im sure this has been dealt with here before but for the life of me, I couldnt find it using the search. I think it may be a spin on the textiles emails. Im thinking of sending an "Im interested" reply to this email but want to hear the ins and outs of it from you all. I THINK the IP resolves to a Texas provider.
Thanks!

Not new I'm afraid, just a standard cheque mule scam.
They seem to be using textiles companies a lot at the moment. |

It's a shame he insists on basing himself in the UK and his mark in the USA, I'm still awaiting my first bona fide cheque.
All standard cheque mule stuff Freya.
Go ahead and bait him. I'm surprised he hasn't asked the standard 10 questions including passport etc already, but I guess that bit is to come. He dosn't want to peak too early!
Are you happy that you know how the cheque mule scams work and what to do next?
Or were you just wanting to know what type of scam it was? |

Thanks, Mugatu....I was looking for what to do next after the initial "Im interested" email. I'll get busy setting up my new persona for this one. |

Well next he'll want the standard stuff, name, age, sex, (I always say "No thank you), passport scan, address etc etc. Just play along with it as you would any other bait.
If you just plan to waste his time you will need to make up a fictitious address, where he will send the cheque.
If you want to recieve the cheques, you'll need to sign up as a premium member and you'll then be able to use a drop box. The drop box owner will forward the items to you.
Good luck with this, I've tried starting maybe a dozen of these, but all have petered out before I've recieved anything. Talk about beginners luck! I'm sure you'll do better. |

I had a similar email, and I havent done any check mules yet, so the way I replied is to try to take him offscript.
I told him I was not interested in his job offer, since I was a self made millionaire. But i went further and said I just acquired a taste for collecting art, and was buying art online.
I asked to see his online portfolio and that if I liked a particular piece, I would send half via western union (hmm, thats a new concept) up front and the other half when I recieved the art. As an example, I told him I recently purchased a piece for $50,000, and sent $25,000, then the balance when I got it.
I just got an email back from the lad who seems to be interested in selling me his art. Tee hee hee, giggle giggle |

The one thing I think is funny/odd about check scams, is the checks take forever to get to you, but the lads are asking if you received the check the day after they sent it. Lads need to learn patience and I am trying to teach each one I talk to that. |

Ok....so is paying for a premium account the same as making a donation or is there a link that lists what you get with a premium account? And should I trust these guys from this website with my real details? Is this 150% risky free???
This is what I was afraid of happening - becoming paranoid |

If you feel paranoid about the eater having your real info, PM the sweetest Mod Don. He loves to talk about such things!

I recently had a similar check scammer contact me. He too had an e-mail address that initially traced back to Houston, TX. After looking at the details cloers, I noticed that it was merely a forwarding server and he was, infact, from Canada.
Anyway, my first lot of checks were successfully delivered this afternoon to the Director of the FBI field office located in Columbia, South Carolina USA. Hmmm. I wonder what they will do with it once they have had it examined for chemicals, etc. |

I answer everone of those emails. I tell them I am interested and give them a silly name. I provide an address ( safe) and a cel phone # (also safe) and tell them how I need a second job. I get checks, travellers checks and money orders all the time, sometimes 3 packages a week. Then the excuses start. Just last nite I had the lad help me find a western union office in Las Vegas. By the time he did it it my girlfriend had lost some of the money at the black Jack table. Then I won it back. Then Lost it again. Asking them for directions because your internet doesnt work ( only email) makes them work. Furthermore, once you have chumped them you can tell them how their checks were extremely easy to cash and maybe you can work something out if he sends more.
One guy sent me about 10 sets of money orders, travellers checks, etc. all equaling 50,000. Now he wants his cut. This will be interesting.... |

Way to go Sam!
I do the same thing...easiest check I ever cashed, never had so much cash in my hand at one time...a guy followed me out of the bank and is sitting in a black car out side my house...I stopped at a bar on the way to the WU and a terrible thing happened. |

See, you guys make this interesting. I've baited a few cheque lads, and they're boring as catechism. Came in here looking for ideas, got lots. I have one cheque bait going, and all I can get her to do is send me countless e-mails asking if I got the package yet. Well I got photos once, but not the kind I wanted.
Since these scumbags often use real cheques with illegal funds, can they verify whether or not they've been cashed or would that be too risky for them? Because if they couldn't verify anything, then burning them (I mean pretending to chop their dolla, not blowing the bait) could be lots of fun!
No I don't mean actually cashing the cheque. I've read THAT sticky! |

Most of the checks are real bad and I doubt they would have any way of knowing if they were actually cashed. In the real world it would take at least 3-5 days to tell. Every time I've even hinted that the check was bad, they have twigged on me. I've been confused a few times while having 4 or 5 baits going at the same time and have told them I was waiting for the check to clear, that seems to get them to turn up the pressure. That's when I cave in and tell them "Fine, I'll just send you the money out of my personal account, I'm sure you are good for it, but I need some assurance, could you fill out this contract and sign it?" Then there is the 1TV$, which leads to the bank to bank, which leads to a local mule, and so on. |
