You can report it here\nhttps://www.wellsfargo.com/privacy_security/email_fraud/\n\nCounterfeit money orders make people feel safe as money orders are"safe" but are just as easy to fake.\n\nIf you speak to Wells Fargo you gan give them the information on the money order (acc number etc) and they can check them for you.\nAccepting and cashing checks from people you meet on the internet is like accepting from a stranger in the street.\n\nIf you have been asked to wire the money from these money orders once you cash them....then from what I know...its a sure scam! have a look at www.fraudwatchers.org

I have a relative that lived in Ny.  They were going throught the same things with Wells Fargo.  However, it took them almost a year before they had to move out.  I would give the tenant notice of the problem as soon as possible.

A bank teller did that to me one time..but she put the money in the draw and couldn't prove I had given her a $20 I told her that her draw was going to end up $10 over..so I had to wait till they cashed out at the end of the day..and sure enough I called back the next day and they credited my account for it.

This is a scam.  You can contact the successor bank to Warren Five Cents Savings Bank (the institution on which your fraudulent cashier's check is drawn) at (978) 531-7400.  They will take your information and ask you to FAX your letter and check to their security department. \n\nAs I understand it, similar scams work approximately like the one set forth at http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/lottery.asp \n\nDo not cash the check or respond.  Report this to the authorities.

Let me guess, they are located in Quebec?  They have been scamming people for years, including me.  Buy, I was lucky and I got my money back.  This is what you do, contact your attorney general's office and also police in Quebec if you can.  Also I know they told you to wire the money... and if they said Western Union I am surprised because they are the people who warned me about the scam.  If it is Western Gram... Money Gram then contact them and give them all the information.  The next step you do is contact the vender in Canada and tell them you wired the money.  When they go to pick it up, make sure you notify the police there and they will get arrested.  \n\nGood Luck and do this ASaP

CheckSmart is feeding you a line of bull$h!t.  As long as you are making a reasonable effort to pay off a just debt they CANNOT turn you over for collection (under the Fair Debt Collection Act)and they sure as heck CANNOT have a warrant issued for your arrest if they can't prove that you deliberately committed bank fraud.  \n\nHere's what you do:  Get the name, address, telephone number, and FAX number of the manager of the Columbus CheckSmart office.  Write him/her personally and explain the situation.  Be sure to FAX a copy to them ASAP and make sure you keep a copy of the letter.  Let them know that you're willing to pay the debt but you simply can't hand over that kind of money right now because you got scammed out of a huge chunk of money yourself.  Send the original via UPS or FedEx so you can ensure your letter makes it there before noon on Friday.  If you don't hear from the manager by Friday, call on Monday and ask to speak to him/her.  If this person is not willing to accommodate you, that's when you start playing hard-ball.\n\nIf the manager says he/she is going to get a warrant sworn out for your arrest, then tell him/her your lawyer will be in court the very next day filing a damages lawsuit against CheckSmart for wrongful prosecution, and that he/she will be named as one of the defendants in the suit.  \n\nIf the manager demands payment in full, tell him/her that you will pay what you can on a schedule but that's all you can do.  \n\nIf he/she tells you that's not acceptable, your reply is that you're not asking -- you're telling him what you can and will do and he/she will just have to live with it.  And if he/she has a problem with it, encourage him/her to read up on the Fair Debt Collection Act.\n\nYou should probably contact a lawyer as well.  Look in the Yellow Pages for attorneys that give free initial consultations.  You might get someone who will take your case pro bono (for free).\n\nGood luck!

I agree with spade_2nite, something doesn't sound right if they are contacting you for payment - if they had recieved a judgment.\n\n\nContact your county court clerk and ask if there is a judgment or a suit filed in your name. (You can also go to the clerks office and request to see your file.)\n\nIf there is no judgment or pending suit filed, that company is violating your rights. If that is the case - speak with an attorney immediately!!!\n \nIf there is a judgment filed and you had been properly served, check your state statutes for the exemptions in your state.\nFor example -  exemptions "may" mean that they cannot garnish your wages, take your car, take funds from your bank account etc. It all depends on "your" states exemption laws. \n\nAfter you check with your county court clerk and find that there is or is not a judgment against you, it may be best to speak with an attorney. There are many attorneys that will give a free first consult   \n\nAlso, I would suggest purchasing a tape recorder and the next time they call, tell them that you are recording the call. Some states allow you to tape without informing the other party that you are taping, you would have to check your state laws on that. But, if you cannot find your states laws on taping, then be sure to inform them you are taping when they call.  \n\nTell them that recieving phone calls at your home and place of employment is inconvenient for you and that you are requesting they contact you by the U.S. postal service only - be sure to have that on tape. By law, if you tell them to cease calling - they are "required" to stop calling.\n\nIf there is a judgment against you, filing for bankruptcy may not be the wisest thing to do - depending on the dollar amount of the judgment and your other debts. \n\n\nI have included a link so you can check your states rules of service

No, they don't have them ahead of time, that's why they ask if you have a bank account.

I would check with the better business bureau.  \n\ndo not give ANYONE your bank account information. \n\nit sounds fishy to me...you should check with the police if they have had incidents with this company.

You should have been given a stub where you purchased it. It will have the amount of the money order and the ID. Go back to the store or follow the claim procedure in the back of it. Good luck!

Just to let you know, every reported transaction is going to take you about an hour on the phone. This is going to be a pain in the butt. You need to dispute the accounts, (which you've done) now the angencys are going to need to prove that is infact you. They will do this by matching your DOB and ss# as well as your last 3 previous addresses. If they don't match yours the bill isn't yours, and it will be taken off. It takes some time ( a couple of months) so be paitent. If it isn't resolved in that time, you need to call each agency. Sorry but itentity mixups and theft are hard new.

you should call your bank that issues your checks immediately if you haven't already done so... They will close your account and you won't be held responsible for those checks.

I doubt you could find a cash advance place without checking or savings account.  You have to have some collateral so to speak, they want to make sure they can get their money back with or without your cooperation.  Go open a checking account, they're no big deal.

They tried to take out my mortgage payment 2 days early, and they charged me a NSF charge and a Late Charge, when the money was put in the correct day, and I had to notify them the day my mortgage was due and asked why my balance was off by $19.00. They say it was some kind of computer error. of course it would never be there error.\n\nThis happened 8 more times durning my 5 year mortgage with them.\n\nIt also took 2-3 months before they refunded my account the $19.00 and to rebalanced my mortgage accordingly.\n\nJust because banks have some fancy Business Degree, they still need to held accountable for work.  Like Mom use to say: Watch you pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves.

Unless this is an emergency, never do a payday loan. I don't know of any, but try talking to your bank. Sometimes they have payday loan styled programs that are much easier on your checkbook.   My bank has one, but the catch is that you have to have direct deposit. If you're an account holder with Wells Fargo, talk to them.
