Appealing to Other Instincts

I received this email out of the blue:

From: "Lisa Graham" <txgal1998@yahoo.com>
To: quasar@b0b.com
Subject: counterfeit money orders
Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2006 08:24:06 -0800 (PST)

Hello,

My name is Lisa. I am one of these crazy people that tried out one of these companies. I received (3) Walmart Money Grams via Fed Ex in the amount of $950.00 each. Because I am not totally stupid I went straight to Walmart instead of putting these checks in my bank and as I suspected they were in deed counterfeit.

My question to you now is what do I do? Do I report these to the authorities or what. I have several e-mail correspondence that I could send you in order to possible catch the criminals. I have changed my Yahoo as directed on your web site.

I want nothing more but to stop this and possible help someone else from being hurt. Luckily I did not put this in my Bank Account.

Please respond ASAP and let me know what I should do. The Fed Ex came from California, I am in Texas.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Lisa

I did a little email dance with "Lisa" to make sure she wasn't a Forum member. I'm pretty sure this is an entry point to a scam. Beware. People aren't always who they claim to be.

and how do we know for certain that you are the real b0b ?

If you send me 3 Wallmart checks for $950 each , and they are good, I'll believe you, uhh..that is, right after I cash them.

I am in contact with Lisa and will handle this matter. She is a victim not a purpetrator, of Nigerian fraudsters.

Thanks, Wiz. I'm always wary when I get emails out of the blue like this.
