Wanted to alert you all to what happened to me this week.
I woke up Sunday morning to an email from a woman wanting to place an order for a wedding gift for her sister. The order came to $468. I was like, awesome -- although I was hesitant as well, as I had never heard of this woman. (I had met a lady 2 days earlier who took my catalog saying her niece was getting married soon ... so wondered if it was her).
I emailed back saying I would be happy to help her and gave her the total for her order. Told her I needed a shipping address, phone # and a credit card to complete the order. She supplied the address & phone # and said she would be sending a bank check. Then she said her husband would send the check as she was vacationing in Aruba (now I'm really starting to get suspicious) .. Today I got an email from her saying the check will be mailed tomorrow via UPS and that her husband made the check out for $4,450, and for me to take what is owed for the products, plus $70 for my time, then for me to send the rest to her sister so she can buy a wedding gown.
I contacted our state police, who said to refuse the check if she sends it and to let her know that I've contacted them.
Just wanted to let you all know -- as she got my name from somewhere 'out there' and I'm sure she'll get more.
