Mercenery
 Greetings Mercenery I have been leary ever since I first heard from these people as I am not a gulliable person but cautious. Of course the desire to make extra money to help pay our bills was my motivation for even talking with them. But after I got the checks today I was very hestitant to go to my bank and cash them I have intution and have learned many years ago to listen to that inner voice that says something is wrong here. I went online to DEX and tried to find the listing for the man who supposedly sent them and there is no listing for him. So I called UPS and they said they did not have the any information they could give me about who sent this. I wrote the man who gave me the details on where to send the money and told him that I wanted a phone number and he replied with one in the UK but I have never called overseas and went on Costa Coffee's website and found where they have alerted people to this scam. So I have no choice but to take the copies I printed from them along with the checks to our local police and report them. I am glad I found this site and sent it to my kids . Thanks again for your reply. Marlene

Of course as bank executive, your institution is profiting from the transaction.
As a former bank customer, i was promised by the teller the money order can be processed and verified, after 2 weeks in possess of my deposit, i was told the fund is transferred into my account,2 days after i withdrawn it n send the balance to UK as promised by me, the bank informed me it is a counterfeit, and demanded me to cover their losses by stating that they have the right to do a charged back on my account whenever they wish because i am responsible to my deposit for a period of 6 months which is totally untruth. My account was confiscated and my money is stolen.

Dear Jeffrey Unfortunatelly for you the bank is right. Generaly if check returns as counterfeit you are responsible and involved in a fraud case. Time period depends from your country laws and is 6-12 months worldwide , unless is US pension check that they have the right to return in a 3 years period and ask the money back. Teller should have to inform you that there is a possibility a check to return months later and you had to pay the money back.

I am new to this forum. I have received an email from Costa Coffee as well. I decided to give it a try since it didn't ask for money up front or any of my personal information (bank accout #, social security #, etc.). I responded to this email after looking up the company. I recieved a confirmation email on Saturday that I would receive a payment on Monday along with a tracking number for UPS. I received the check on Monday morning. I deposited it and my institution put a hold on the check for 15 days. I also looked up the address of the company on the check and the bank address on the check, and they both matched the yellow pages. It gave phone numbers as well, I will see in about 2 weeks if its a scam and I will let you know.

I have never been scammed before either, and I received an email from this company also. I received one check, with check stubs on yesterday. I deposited it into my account and had the bank place a hold on it until it clears the bank. I did not cash the check. I deposited it and a hold is placed on it. I made a copy of the check, the email and looked up the informatin on the check. I also kept the envelope it was sent in. I did not give them my home address. What do I do now that I have deposited it? I'm quite sure now that it will come back counterfeit.

There is no need to wait to see if is scam or not. Unfortunatelly for you, you are also involved to a scam case. Giving back the money to the bank that does not make you innocent. Read the article "some useful advices" to see that according the law you are also responsible.

Victims or suspects ?
""If victims go along with the scam they become a suspect, and could face up to 10 years behind bars and pay a $2,500 fine"" so everybody be aware from any scam case

Dear brunsonthomas
Welcome to this forum. Thanks for information that this scam is in Thailand (even I doubt for this) but if you had posted their letter including sender's name and e-mail address with full headers it could be easy to check it from their IP. Fortunatelly I have and old friend in law enforcement in this country and I will send him this info to check it.
