You'll click on the link to their website, and you'll be taken to what looks like a pretty ordinary company website (stock pictures of young people working at the office and a giant building representing the "location", the usual "News", "What We Do", etc. pages, and so on).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Martin Alther]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 16th 2008 8:34AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Top 10 E-Mail Scams 7]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/16/top-10-e-mail-scams-7/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/16/top-10-e-mail-scams-7/</guid><description><![CDATA[I received an email for doing "Work At Home."  I replied, asking for more information.  Their reply was that I would receive money orders and that I should go to my bank, cash the money orders, take 10% for myself and then wire the remaining 90% trough Western Union to an unspecified address.  I was suspicious that this was a scam, due to the spelling of some of the words and their use of the English language.  I received another email from the same party, explaining that I would be receiving <br>money orders shortly and that I should follow their directions exactly. Two weeks passed before I received a large Manilla Envelope with two money orders for the identical sum of $749.01each and included an<br>address in China.where the monies should be sent. I had informed our Police Officials of the "mailings" and they made copies of all of the correspondance.  I took the money orders to my bank and told one of their advisors the story.  She checked the identification numbers on the Money Orders and found that both were phony and had originally been cashed in 2007 for different amounts.  I took that information to the aujthorities.  It was excioting and I felt like I'd done something pretty well.  Thanks for the opportunity to write aboiut my "Good Deed For The Day".<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Denis Nadeau]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 16th 2008 10:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Top 10 E-Mail Scams 7]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/16/top-10-e-mail-scams-7/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/16/top-10-e-mail-scams-7/</guid><description><![CDATA[ya i had one of these happen to me. thank good when i took the checks to my bank they told me they where no good and that was the last time i did them.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nicole]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 16th 2008 2:36PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
