Stick Bills™

An ad for help wanted appeared in our local newspaper seeking to hire online “Book Keepers”. So I sent in for information. I heard nothing back until I received two $865 moneygrams by UPS.

Then online instructions to deposit them in my bank account, keep a 10% fee, withdraw the rest of the proceeds and send them by Western Union to an address in Ghana. I refused to deposit them, but said I would cash them & forward the proceeds, which was quickly agreed to, but to do it quickly.

On Monday morning, I called Moneygram, LLC & was told that both moneygrams were invalid, which did not surprise me at all. I turned the info & fake moneygrams over to our local police, though I doubt much can actually be done about such a scam.
