Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 3137 Registered: Mar-06 | correct. This is how it works. I make up a fake MO on my pc. The MO is from "Bank Of Amarcica". I send it to you, you send my the items. You take the MO to your bank, who gives you the cash. Your bank then sends the MO to the MO bank, In this case, The bank of Amarcica, After 3 attemps to contact the bank of Amarcica, (Which will never happen, as I made the MO with a fake bank address.) They will contact you and want thier money back. This whole ordeal takes up to 90 days to happen. So 3 months later, you wonder why your account is light, while some Nigerian scammers are riding around in a stolen car banging and clipping your subs to death. |
