If greed has its way, a person would respond to this offer. What's next? There are fees to be paid for this transaction so you need to sent $$$$ XXXXX$$$$. That should do so the victim sends the required fees. Now Greed has sunk its teeth into the victim, they want the money and they are out $$XXX$$$ which has to be recovered. The scammer will now work the system. Even the most intelligent of people can be sucked into the lair of the scammer.

The second posibility is that the scammer would like to make a direct deposit into your account. Will greed allow you to give that info to a total stranger.

The third possibility is that a large check will be sent to you. You are to deposit and send back the required percentage to the scammer. The check of course will bounce, your account becomes overdrawn and you are now out the money you thought you gained PLUS you have lovely overdraft bank fees to pay. This one doesn't work so well anymore because banks coucil the depositer and many have you sign statements that you personally know the check issuer. But what if G R E E D truly has a gripe on the victim, a night deposit is made and we head off to the local grocery store to buy the much needed food. Then its off to Walmart to buy the kids, some shoes and what the heck lets get that wide screen T.V. Do I need to help you see the picture on this one?

Beware of your associations here in our community because you have not only invited an evil person into your friends list butyou have also invited G R E E D into your family issues.

Thaks Mary-he certainly does not look like the Boggie Man!

I've been watching American Greed on MSNBC and it is heartbreaking to watch how these people get normally sensible people to give them their money. We all need to vigilant in these times as they are permeated through every area of our day-to-day lives.

Joyce, thank you for stepping in here. The t.v. show 60 Minutes also featured this kind of scam some time ago. They featured a very intelligent lady who wanted so much to believe a distant relative had left her money in a Swiss account. After all she did not know too much of the history of her family so she believed.

As she sunk more and more of her money into this scammers account she was forced to believe this was true because she was out thousands of dollors and of course was ashamed to tell anyone close to her.

It came to the point that she was to meet the scammer in a motel room to pick up the trunk with all the money. Of course before turning it over, she would have to pay a few thousand more so she should bring the cash to the meeting. After all there were charges this benevelant person had incurred and more fees needed to be paid.

The 60 min. reporter confronted the scammer and he refused to admit to any wrong doing. The scammer is in jail now but it looks like his understudy is on the loose here in our community. He hasn't even passed English 101 yet. But then GREED really would not care as long as the offer is good.

Mary & Joyce, I am just checking in and I also received a similar message. I have reported this person.

Yes, my friends, they are running rampart on the internet, by phone, by email and mail. Please beware and if you have elderly relatives, check with them often because they ae most vunerable.

There is no way to know right now if a person is legit or not. You have to be informed as to possibilities.

Thank you,

Sara
