I get it…I think. His “representative” deposits the money order, immediately wires him his money, and then finds out the money order is fake, invalid, or reported stolen and voided. This does seem a bit more plausible than your run-of-the-mill advance fee fraud scam, but who is really going to fall for this? Are U.S. postal money orders really that hard to cash in other countries?

Hi I edited your wikipedia redirect for ‘Posterized’ (to Posterization). Posterized and posterization are also slang terms used in the game of basketball. Can you double check my stuff to make sure I haven’t stepped on your postings? I’m not a wikipedia expert

um…OK, that’s fine. For future reference, if you want to contact me about Wikipedia, leave a message on my User talk page, or just e-mail me.

collectors from all around the world. I am always facing serious
difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to Americans, they are
always offering to pay with US POSTAL MONEY ORDER, which is difficult for
me to cash here in the United Kingdom.
I am looking for a representative in the States who will be working for me
as a partime worker and i am willing to pay 10% for every transaction,
which wouldn’t affect your present state of work, someone who would help
me receive payments from my customers in the States. I mean someone that
is responsible and reliable, because the cost of coming to the States to
get payments is very expensive, i am working on setting up a branch in the
U.S pretty soon. But for now I need a representative who will be handling
the payment aspect.
These payments are in Money Order and they would come to you in your name,
so all you need do is cash the Money Order, deduct your percentage and
wire the rest to me. It wouldn’t cost you any amount, you are to receive
payments which will be sent to you by Fedex or USPS from my business
partners, which would come in form of a Money Order then you are to cash
it and send the cash to me via Western Union Money Transfer. All Western
Union charges will be deducted from the money.

Dear friend,
I am most grateful for your response to my mail and I seize this opportunity to thank you for coming to my rescue and to also let you know that this transaction is a straight forward and legal transaction. I hope you were not too embarrassed by my first email to you since you do not know me. I had no option so I resorted to putting fate to test and making a random contact. I got your email address from the web email directory and decided to introduce my plight and this transaction. I am communicating with only you at this moment with regards to this transaction and I would not have any cause to do otherwise. I’ve had different dealings with many Americans and I believe they are very honest. I look forward to a very trustworthy relationship.
Presently I have a client who is offering to pay me in form of a US Postal Money Order. I will like to know if I can count on you to send back the balance of the funds to me after cashing and deducting your 10%.
Kindly get back to me with your:
*FULL NAME- to whom the Money Order will be made payable to.
*HOME ADDRESS- where the Money Order will be mailed to.
*CELL PHONE #- for easy contact.
I pray for a long lasting business relationship. May God almighty reward you.

So, has anyone cashed a money order or not?
December 7th, 2006 at 11:14 PM
I have so received the same email and this is a fraud case. If you get any of the money orders immediately turn them into the US Postal Service because they are fake.
January 15th, 2007 at 7:26 AM
I work on Ashford Business Complex, there are 19 Units on this Industrial Estate, none of which have anything to do with the Art world.
The address that is being used for these fake money orders is a company address that neither Gary Art Gallery nor David Art Gallery exists from.
We have contacted the police and passed over all the information that we have including fraudulant money orders that have been sent to us by people thinking the Art Galleries actually exist.
Please don’t be taken in by these scam artists.

Dear Sir/Madam,
How are you doing. I came across your email address and your brief
profile
through an email listing affiliated with the US Chamber of Commerce. I
would be very interested in offering you a part-time paying job in
which
you could earn alot.
My names are David Cyril and I am 58 years of age. I just resigned my
job
as a research scientist for ARINI(Agricultural Research Institute of
Northern Ireland) and I now work as a freelance consultant for the
instistute which gives me very much time to do my own work which is
basically being a freelance researcher who could be employed by
research
institutes to do research projects anywhere in the world.
Presently, I have just been granted a funding to head a research
project
in the tropical regions of Europe regarding rare and vulnerable
plant
species and this would be commencing very soon.
This research program will be funded and sponsored by some of my
American
counterparts and Associates. But the only set back is that the American
counterparts want to make payments for the research in form of US money
orders/ travellers checks only and its a known fact that money in such
forms cannot be cashed outside the US. Getting an accountant in the
states
or opening an account would have been my best choice but I have a
deadline
to meet and taking any of those choices would cost me time and a whole
lot
of
other requirements which I am not ready to deal with. This is where I
need
to employ your assistance and service.
WHAT I NEED YOU FOR?
At this point, I will be glad if you could work with me as my
representative in the US. You will be working as my payment assistant
incharge of collecting and processing the payments from my
Associates.Since they will be making the payment in Money orders/
Travellers checks made payable only in the US, you will be collecting
this payments and
cashing them on my behalf. On agreement to been my representative in
the
US, you will receive a commission of 10% of whatever amount of payment
you
receive from my associates.
JOB DESCRIPTION?
1. Recieve payments (in form of money orders/travellers checks) from my
associates via mail(UPS/FEDEX/DHL).
2. Cash the Payments at your Bank.
3. Deduct 10% which will be your commission/percentage on Payment
processed.
4. You are to remit the balance via Money Gram or Western Union Money
Transfer according to my instruction.
HOW MUCH WILL YOU EARN?
10% from each transaction! For instance: On receiving 6000 USD via
cheques
or money orders on my behalf. You will cash the payment and keep 10%
to
yourself before remitting the balance! At the beginning your commission
will equal 10%, though later it will increase up to 12%! For the
research,
I am expecting about the sum of $45,000 in
total from the clients(though the money will be sent in installmentally
due to the progress of my research). You could make over $4,500 for the
little time we will be working together.
ADVANTAGES?
You dont have to go out of your present daily activity inorder to
engage
in this Job(i.e. you can do this Work easily without leaving or
affecting
your present Job).You will work as an independent contractor right from
your home /office. Your job is absolutely legal. You do not need any
capital to start(non of your personal funds is needed).
REQUIREMENTS?
18 years or older.
Legally capable.
Responsible, Reliable and Trustworthy.
Ready to work 3-4 hours per week.
Able to check and respond to emails often.
Easy telephone access.
IS THIS LEGAL?
Yes it is.As a matter of fact,my lawyer checked all legal provisions to
know if there is any dosmestic or international law against businesses
or
deals in this manner.And he said its allowed by all LAWS.So know that
doing this work is safe and legitimate.
I hope all is well understood. I would be glad if you accept my
proposal
and I intend to commence as soon as you are ready.
Please, to facilitate the conclusion of this transaction if accepted,do
send promptly by email the following details below, to indicate your
interest.

on the web for employment.I live in United Kingdom,with my two
kids,four
cats,one dog and the love of my life(my wife of 5 years). It is
definitely a
full house. I have been doing artwork since I was a kid(12 yrs
old).That
gives me about 28 years of experience. I majored in art in high school
and
took a few college art courses. Most of my work is done in either
pencil or

creating artwork on the computer.I have been selling my art works for
the
last 3 years and have had my work featured on trading cards, prints and
in
magazines.I have sold in galleries and also to private collectors from
all
around the world.I am always facing serious difficulties when it comes
to
selling my art works to Americans,they are always offering to pay with
a US
MONEY ORDER,which is difficult for me to cash here in United Kingdom
because
it will take approximately 30days to clear which will tie down my
money.I am
looking for a representative in the states who will be working for me
as a
part-time worker and i will be willing to pay 10% for every
transaction,which wouldn’t affect your present state of work,someone
who
would help me recieve payments from my customers in the states.I mean
someone that is responsible and reliable,because the cost of coming to
the
state and getting payments is very expensive,i am working on setting up
a
branch in the states,so for now i need a representative in the united
states
who will be handling the payment aspect.These payments are in money
order
and they would come to you in your name, so all you need do is cash the
money order deduct your percentage and wire the rest back.The only
problem i
have is trust but i have my way of getting anyone that gets away with
our
money,i mean the FBI branch in Washington gets involved if any of my
employees want to play funny games so if you have bad intentions in
mind
then don’t just try it because you will be caught with ease and dont
forget
you will be dropping you i.d num so that make it easier.It wouldn’t
cost you
any amount to get this transaction done,you are to receive payments
which
will be sent to you by fedex or usps from my business patners but
preferably
Fedex,which would come in form of a money order then you are to cash it
and
send the cash to me via moneygram money transfer,all transfer fees
should be
deducted from the money.If you are interested,please get back to me
asap to
know if you are interested because Job commences the moment I open a
file
for you on your name and info.I believe this will be a good opportunity
to
make good earning this new year and I wish you Happy New year and have
a
prosperous Yeah this 2007.

STATES/ CANADA that is trustworthy and honest who would be helping out
with payment collection and processing.. All you would be doing is
receiving these payments that would come to you via the mail system in
your country, have them cashed and remit the rest to me. I would be
willing to pay you 10% of whatever payment you process. These payments
would come in different forms.
I have been designing arts and crafts since I was a small child. That
gives me about 20 Years of experience. I majored in art in high school
and took a few college art courses. Most of my work is done in either
pencil or airbrush mixed with colour pencils. I have recently added
designing and creating artwork on the internet. I have been selling my
art for the last 3 years and have had my work featured on trading
cards, prints and in magazines. I have sold in galleries and to private
collectors from all around the world. I am always facing serious
difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to Americans; they
are always offering to pay with Different Modes, which are difficult
for me to cash here in the UK. Because of a hold of almost two weeks
that would be placed on them before they clears the banks here in the
UK.
These payments would be coming in your name, so that it would be
possible for you to have them cashed. And there is NO FEE or SIGN-UP
FEE of any kind. The payment would be sent to you directly from my
clients in the states or by me after verifying the details on them. All
you would be doing is cashing the payments and deducting your share
(10%) and having the rest sent down to me via WESTERN UNION MONEY
TRANSFER. the FEE for the transfer would also be deducted from my SHARE
of the money
If you are interested, please get back to me as soon as Possible with
your full contact details, which should include, your:
Full Name:
Contact Address:
Phone Number:

Any job offer that involves either cashing checks or money orders for your “employer” in your private bank account or receiving wire transfers in your private bank account and then forwarding these funds by wire transfer is a scam. There are NO legitimate job offers like that. If it involves a check or money order, it’s usually by a Nigerian fake check scam ring. If it involves receiving wire transfers it’s normally by a Russian or Romanian phishing gang that is emptying hacked bank accounts via your account. You stand to lose everything you forward as well as facing the risk of fraud charges. If you receive any such offers you can have them checked out only using the Scamomatic website (scamomatic.com).

Hello Sir/Ma,
What is it people really want? What is it you want?
When it comes right down to it, people want to be happy. To some people,happiness means a better job.To others,happiness means the ability to spend more time with their families.
Happiness can mean as simple a thing as being in control of your life.
The Global Traders Opportunity is your vehicle to happiness.We produce and distribute clothing materials such as batiks, assorted fabrics and traditional costume worldwide. We have reached big sales volume of textile materials in the Europe & Asia and now are trying to penetrate the America market.

We need agents to receive payment for our textiles( in money orders,check or bank wire transfers) and to resend via a specified transaction operator. This way we will save money because of tax decreasing.

I work for a company that really is at the address that these fraudsters keep giving out. We are an Industrial Estate, there are no Art Galleries here. I have reported the matter to the police and handed over all the relevant documents that have been returned to our address by people that have been taken in, these have been given both to the police and American Express who are both investigating the matter.
The companies known so far are, The Gary Art Gallery, The David Art Gallery and now the Chris Dunn Art Gallery, the VAT number they all use are fake and so is the company registration number.
I would suggest that in a few months time that the name of the Gallery will change again, the one constant is the address that they use.
Please do not be taken in.

For fear of loosing the customers out rightly. Secondly we cannot cash these payments from the US soon enough, as international Checks take about 21 working days for cash to be made available.We lose about 45,000 USD of net income each month because we have money transfer delays.

I also received an email from an artist called Daniel Cosmos. Perhaps the money orders aren’t fake but instead belong to people who are involved in money laundering. They could be trying to get drug money or some other illegal funds out of the United States through individuals. So even if you find that everything works out… be very, very careful – You may want to reconsider.

My name is Daniel Cosmos, deaf and i am an artist, I live with my two kids, 2 cats, one dog and the love of my life. It is definitely a full house. I have been doing artwork since I was a small child.That gives me about 23 years of experience.I majored in art in high school and took a few college art courses.I saw your advert on http://www.craiglist.com for indicating that you need job that is why i introduced this to you. I majored in art in high school and took a few college art courses. Most of my work is done in either pencil or airbrush mixed with color pencils. I have recently added designing and creating artwork on the computer. , prints and in magazines. I have sold in galleries and to private collectors from all over the world and i get paid without hassle. I am always facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to Americans, Asians, and the rest of Europe and Afrikans owing to the fact that they mostly offer to pay with a Credit Card Transfer, Bank Transfer, Checks or Money Orders.
And also the cost of coming to the state and getting payments is very expensive,though i am currently working on setting up a branch in some countries or looking for a very honest and responsible person as a representative. In view of the above i am in urgent need of a representative in the United States who will be handling the payment aspect, by receiving my payments on my behalf from my global clients .It is as a result of the above that we came up with the idea of looking for a responsible and competent person(s) who will be assistance to me in this area,whom i can entrust my payments upon and who will cash them immediately he/she receives them and forward the Money to me here in the U.K via Money gram / Western Union or Bank Transfer.
What i need from you is just to receive the payments after cashing it and deduct your own commission. Am prepared to offer a commission of 10% to you on any payments received or cashed, and i shall increase the commission from time to time based on your competence and efficiency. This does not stop you from doing your normal job, it’s just for you to take deliveries of payments and cash them and transfer the money to me, as i are just starting this set up and i would not like a situation where people will make away and squander my hard earned money, So this is what the job entails is for you to:
(A) Receive Payments on our Behalf from our global debtors; in this payment methods; Checks or Money Order, Credit card transfer, Bank account transfer, all of which shall be issued in the USA.
(B) Cash such payments.
(C) Transfer the monies via Money gram Or Western Union or Bank Transfer to me.
On acceptance of this offer please get back to me with the following:
(A) YOUR FULL NAMES
(B) CONTACT ADDRESS PLEASE NO P.O BOXES
(C) HOME AND WORK PHONE NUMBERS (INCLUDING CELL PHONE NUMBER)
(D) YOUR AGE
(E) OCCUPATION.
(F) Indicate the form of payment you would like to receive, Credit Card Transfer, Bank Transfer, Checks or Money Orders.
Once I get these details i will forward them from time to time to my clients who will then issue out the payments in your favor and send it to you for cashing. This is a completely legal thing in as much as you prove your honesty by acting to instructions, People have made away with my monies in the past and i am trying to be careful this time around. Please get back to me immediately as i have a lot of payments to receive and as soon as you send me your details to receive payment i will instruct that my debtors start issuing out the payments to you.
Have a nice day..
Regards.
Secretary

Daniel Cosmos has moved onto PayPal scams. I almost fell for this one. I listed something on Craigslist and he emailed me back asking to pay through PayPal. I sent him an invoice and received an email back indicating the invoice had been paid. This email looked VERY real and had all my personal info…my name, mailing address…everything. The email address it was sent from was not a PayPal address though. I called PayPal and they were impressed with this scam. I forwarded them the scam emails. Don’t fall for this one.

Well, Mr. Cosmos almost got me as through Craig’s list as well. He had me totally convinced that he was legitment and honest. What a piece of crap this guy turned out to be. Had I followed his directions and used PayPal the way he wanted me to do it, I would have been out a beautiful gift worth mucho dollars. I am turning this all over to PayPal for there action. Don’t worry folks, this guy is now way off limits list. I found out him on all of your postings. Thanks a whole bunch and may he never sucker you in.

Season 1, Episode 2 of “Crazy Cosmos”!
Oops, he’s being tenacious. Got this today:
“Okay thanks so how much is it, Plus shipping over night to Newark,07104,New Jersey.”
I replied:
“No shipping charge is required on my part. When you or your buyer’s agent hands me the money, I’ll hand you the item. If you require it to be sent to NJ, we can meet at the local post office and you can take care of it there after your purchase.
As stated previously, this is a cash-only sale.”
Stay tuned! LOL

Round 2, just responded with this: “I was just made aware via that lovely thing called ‘the internet’ that you are running a paypal scam in addition to a money order fraud scheme. You’re nothing but a boil on the ass of society. Go crawl back in your hole and die.” These people make me sick.
