Another personal assistant scam

Hi all,

I know this used to be a big topic a few months ago. However there are many people using the following scam.
Usually you come across something like "movers needed" after you send them an email, they reply saying sorry, that job has been taken but they need a personal assistant. After responding to this email saying you're interested, they message you back an email stating you will be running errands and buying this for charities and foster homes. They send you a FAKE check that fools any bank teller. They ask you to buy kids toys with this fake money to send to "foster homes" these checks are substantially large amounts of money. Mine was 9,837 dollars. Luckily i knew this was a scam, and wanted him to waste 16 dollars on sending me a fake check. If everybody plays along and acts dumb. Then disposes of these checks. It really hurts them over time. For anyone who is interested his email is [email protected], another is [email protected]. Furthermore, i have tracked this guys exact location seeing as he slipped on protectivg his ip adress. He lives in washington, virginia goes by peter or wayne. In addition, I still have his ip address and his phone number. If anyone out there is interested.

Welcome to Scamwarners,

Most of the information you posted is correct.

Two things you are wrong at.

Luckily i knew this was a scam, and wanted him to waste 16 dollars on sending me a fake check

Actually scammers never spend their own money. You wasted the money of a victim who's mail account was hacked. Causing this victim more damage.

he slipped on protectivg his ip adress. He lives in washington, virginia goes by peter or wayne. In addition, I still have his ip address and his phone number. If anyone out there is interested.

What you have is the IP of the email provider and a Voip phone number.

If not you have the details of a victim.

Sorry, forgot to say that the way this scam actually works is. The check looks so real the teller will deposit it roughly 80 percent of the time. After you spend money this money on things they tell you to purchase and send, the bank will then realize after 3 or 4 days this check was fake. You will then end up owing the bank that money you spent for them.

I know it was a long shot chance of getting his i.p. Address. I assure you this gentleman got much more confrontational when i sent him the exact gps coordinates of his location. I dont use a regular tracer. I actually have a pretty good equipment set up

the bank will then realize after 3 or 4 days this check was fake.

Wrong again sometimes it can take weeks to months.
