Hi there,

I just posted about these people, also tried to scam us just this past month...

My post of course goes to the moderator, but it should be visible soon.

I just wondered what happened with your cheque?

And if you did report to the police? In my previous experience with people trying to scam, the police only pay attention to you if you actually lost $$ to these crooks.

Anyway my sympathies if you did lose $$, but I really encourage you to report this fraud to the police, and ask them to forward to Toronto police (that is where the cell# he talked to us was from); also report this to the online fraud centre.

It's so unfortunate that a few bad apples make the internet a place for bad experiences; there are so many wonderful people I have met online too.

Take good care,

Mary
