Hello,
My name is Susan Patrick and I am an artist. I live in England, with
my two kids, one dog cat birds and the love of my life. It is
definitely a full house. I have been doing artwork since I was a small
child when I was in Canada were I took interest in arts that gives me
about 23 years of experience. I majored in art in high school and took
a few college art courses. Most of my work is done in either pencil or
airbrush mixed with color pencils. I have recently added designing and
creating artwork on the computer. I have been selling my art for the
last 4 to 5 years and have had my work featured on trading cards,
prints and in magazines. I have sold in galleries, museums and to
private collectors from all around the world. I am always facing
serious difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to
Americans; they are always offering to pay with a US POSTAL MONEY
ORDER, which is difficult for me to cash here in England.
I am looking for a representative in the states who will be working
for me as a par time worker and I am willing to pay for every
transaction, which wouldn't affect your present state of work, someone
who would help me receive payments from my customers in the states. I
mean someone that is responsible and reliable, because the cost of
coming to the states and getting payments is very expensive, I am
working on setting up a branch in the state, and so for now I need a
representative in the United States who will be handling the payment
aspect.
These payments are in money order and they would come to you in your
name, so all you need do is cash the money order deduct your
percentage and wire the rest back. But the problem I have is trust.
But I have my way of getting anyone that gets away with our money; I
mean the FBI branch in Washington gets involved. It wouldn't cost u
any amount, u are to receive payments which will be sent to u by FedEx
or USPS from my business partners, which would come in form of a money
order then u are to cash it and send the cash to me via western union
money transfer all western union charges will be deducted from the
money. If you are interested, please get back to me as soon as
possible.
Regards Susan

I hate those things. It's like the letters you get from Africa stating you can pretend to be so and so's last liveing relative to receive 800billionkatrillion dollars. The worse thing is though people actually fall for this crap

yeah, the crazy thing is that I have all sorts of SPAM blockers on my email account, and somehow, this snuck in!! My mom is also bad about falling for these. She JUST learned how to use email like 6 months ago, and she had so many viruses on her computer for clinking on crazy ads and things. I had to "tutor" her on how to NOT click on every "your the 1,000,000th visitor! you've won $1,000,000" ad she saw!

The other thing that concerns me is that there are so many people here in AUstin, TX where I live that are all about supporting the arts and things, and that's bascially what this lady (or whoever) is asking for...some people might interpret this kind of solicitation scam to be true!

That's what is so scary,these people go under the guise of being legit and people fall for it. Hopefully someone will take that letter to your local newspaper and they or the local news can warn people. I know our local news has done several warnings to people when it was brought to their attention...Karen

Plus it sounds so sincere and thats what will get a lot of people. Unlike those from other countries where a man wants you to open a bank account or something, this one "appears" honest, when in reality it amounts to the same ol' scam.

that's great...I didn't know that!
This kind of scam really effects more than those who are willing to do the "money order cashing" though. Think of the poor people who they are stealing from to get those money orders in the first place. I had something similar happen to me after getting scammed by that "deposit for loan" place. About 2 weeks after it happened, someone hacked into my bank account online and set up a BillPay payee to this guy, who, after I contacted him, told me that he'd been chatting online with this girl from Africa who said "a friend" of hers was going to be sending him a check so he could send it to her for her to come to America to see him...isn't that unbelievable!?! 
So, after that incident, I am SOOOO careful of who I give my info to...and that's NO ONE!!

You know,before I came to this website I was pretty careless about my info.If a bill collector called,I told him my whole life story,how often we got paid,what we owned,etc. Pretty scary when you are as old as I am ,guess that's where my son got his "stupid" streak ...Karen

My all time favorite is the Nigerian super model scam!
She introduces herself as a "Super model" from Nigeria. Her story is that her husband died in a
refugee camp and left a billionkadzillion dollars
behind. Only problem is that the money is in the US,
and it will be deposited in a US Bank Account!
I didn't realize there were that many super Models
in Nigeria!

I read that! It's a good one. There is one more in which the son says that his father has left a huge inheritance for him and he wants to use that money for business. He doesn't know anything about business so he asks for our help. He will give a huge share in this. He has so much of trust, never fears if we run over with his money. God!! I wish money grew on trees.

Also, watch out for a Sheila19857 posting in your blog a request to use your blog as a link to a book called "Terrorismisreal" that she says is banned on both google and amazon.com, which is not true since I checked that out myself. When I first read this post, I got a little wierded out, thinking that if I honored her request, the FBI would soon be knocking on my door to arrest me for conspiracy to commit terror. That wasn't the case though, what we did find is that that particular username is behind all kinds of spamming!

I've seen this type of post on Craigslist--from a so-called textiles company in Britain which says it just needs a US rep to cash the gazillion checks coming their way, blah blah.
Anything to take advantage of desparate people...

Just how many stupid stories are these freaks going to cough up in a vain attempt to get cash before it dawns on them that we're not morons and their stories are ludicrous!
