I stumbled across a scammer from Nigeria who was sending out fake checks. I managed to convince him to let me in on his operation and then I sabotaged it!
Don't accept fake checks and don't take jobs mailing them out either.

I have worked for the post office for over 20 years and I have sent countless numbers of these packages to the postal inspectors in hopes of saving these people from being scammed. I once was able to retrieve a package for an elderly woman who sent an overnight package with thousands of dollars to a scammer, thankfully she told her son what she had done and came back the very next morning and I was able to get her money back and give the address to the postal inspectors. I wish I was able to do more and I’m grateful for all you do. Keep up the fight!

lol I remember reading this story a while back about this guy who fell for that Nigerian 419 email scam, they claimed to have millions for him but kept asking for "fees" to cover transfers, bribes for customs, etc. He ended up giving them tens of thousands of dollars (most of it borrowed from family and friends), then the scammers just stopped contacting him. I think that whole time, he had been lying to friends and family about why he needed to borrow money, they all stopped talking to him afterward.

I’ve been a mystery shopper for years with over a dozen clients worldwide. I received one of these checks that they asked me to use to buy gift cards from Walmart to “evaluate” their customer service. Of course I was supposed to immediately give them the gift card numbers, after which the check from them that I deposited would have bounced, leaving me high and dry. But I didn’t bite. I reported it to the authorities who wanted copies of everything. Idk what ended up happening. Keep up the good work!

I was a secret shopper for a fast casual restaurant about 25 years ago. They sent me forms to use to evaluate, I would mail them and the receipt. and they'd send a check. They were based out of Lexington KY, it was 100% legit, and it was kind of fun. I don't think the restaurant ever caught on to me being a secret shopper. Hardest thing was timing time from completion of the order to when they gave me the tray (without being seen to use a stopwatch). But these are rare opportunities, and my only payment was a meal for one every couple weeks.

My Uncle once “got a job” shipping merchandise to buyers on eBay that was originally purchased with stolen credit card numbers and shipped to his house. He was not only dumb enough to fall for the scam and think he got a job as an “internet shipper” (he never asked why he was re-shipping items that came to his house by UPS, FedEx and USPS from a domestic address back out to a domestic address) but once he figured out he wasn’t going to get paid he called his local TV News station and they did a news segment about a scam where you ship things out and you don’t get paid for it.. 🙄 Him and the news channel never touched on how the brand new merchandise arriving on his doorstep was originally purchased (stolen). This was like… 20 years ago when eBay was a new thing on the exciting “information super highway” 🤣 To this day he acts smug and thinks he “caught them” by figuring out it was a scam and contacting the police… after re-shipping a bunch of stolen merchandise for like a month. 😂 Did I mention he was on TV ‘n stuff looking really smart? 🤓

This happened to my mother. The person on Facebook who the scammer was claiming to be, ( my mother's friend ) was ironically scammed herself. I took the phone off my mother and replied to the scammer, asking her how her children were doing, but actually called her children the wrong names. The scammer replied that they where doing fine and didn't question the incorrect names of their children that I gave, so straight away we knew it was a scam so then I told the scammer to go and lick my gooch.

I love how you deal with these scammers. I watched a programme on scammers. One Nigerian said they make the most money from the US "because they are stupid". That's been said quite a few times. I think there are a lot of gullible people who just watch their local news and never travel abroad. Their televisions are set at Fox News or Reality shows.

Next time such an opportunity happens it would be good if there was an accompanying letter explaining its a scam and instruct the people to delay the scammer as much as they can by not contacting the scammer again. This would have probably allowed you one or two days extra of saving people.

@@codex4046 - Yes, quite possibly. Unlike say a massive list of e-mail addresses which are worth relatively little to a scammer, a list of names with postal addresses of people who have (presumably) already shown some degree of falling for the scam is quite valuable. So it's certainly possible that the scammer might have one of those addresses that will report back to them, whether as an actual confederate, or as a potential scam victim who would still trust the scammer over the KZbinr's warning letter. Because gathering those names and postal addresses has taken a not insignificant amount of work for the scammer. So they don't want to risk the 'payroll employee' either not sending the letters at all, or sending the letters with warnings.

Why didn't you explain the scam in the letter to the victims? You could even include the check, tell them to try cashing it and they will see it will bounce. Show them that they just by luck escaped losing their money, raise awareness to avoid that these people fall for it again.
