Fraud Alert - US postal money orders fraud
18.9.2006 US postal money orders fraudEmails, allegedly originating from a business in the UK called Tracey Art World, are asking for persons in the US to cash US postal money orders since apparently many of their clients in the United States always offer to pay them with US postal money orders. It is claimed that because of this transaction process, they find it very difficult to cash them in the UK banking system. They then ask a representative in United States to cash the money orders in America and then to wire the available funds to Britain. They offer the potential representatives 10% commission for any transaction. This is a fraud, the US postal orders will be forgeries and you will be asked to send the money via money transfer such as Western Union. Do not become involved in these types of transactions you will lose money and could become guilty of fraud and money laundering.
