Exclamation Fraud Alert

FRAUD ALERT !!
First of all, they are Russian scam artist. Check looks real, BUT, it is actually fake. Publisher clearing house does NOT, repeat does NOT, have processing fees or requires you to wire them money.

This is how it works. You cash in a fake check. You get the money. You wire the money to "RINGO STAR" or who ever they ask you to wire it to. They now have the money and is gone, richer, thanks to you. The bank finds out the check is fake because it bounces two weeks later. Police comes in and arrests you for fraudulent check. You now have a record and a crisis to deal with.

Actions for you to take.
1. LOOK UP PCH.COM (publisher's clearing house). That's how I learned it. I even telephoned them directly.
2. Report it to www.fraud.org
3. Call Bonnieman POWELL up with the number they provided and tell them that the money has been wired, and to stand by the nearest western union for it to arrive. In fact, tell them thanks for the money and you decided that you'd rather keep the 4 grand instead. If they ask for a wire number, tell them it's 9-1-1. Then hang up. Fool those fools. LOL. Then rip the check up. Because it's all a SCAM.
