I was contacted based on an ad I had on Postaroo to rent my timeshare. The person first contacted using TDD relay. I thought the individual was perhaps deaf. That stated they were a comics or comments writer. They said they had a sponsor that was paying for their accomodations. They stated this person was sending me money in access because they didn't have time to deal with all of the finances or something.
The person who called was named Cole Dieter. Then I received an email from "Harry Moore" who needed to verify my address and phone number. He then sent 6 money orders from CVS. The amount total $2800. First clue something was wrong. Then I finally received an email stating to transfer money to and address a in Nigeria to a Jimmy Coker. The so called travel agent. My hestation lead to multiple calls and emails stating to rush because they need tobook their flight.
I had to deposit the money orders first. Then the bank cleared them momentarily. I transfered 1982 out of $2100 because of the transfer fee. Then they called stating asister was ill and they needed the $700 to help book flight anf that they were sending $1500 more in money orders and then gave a phony UPS tracking number.
I finally knew it was a fraud and didn't send any more money and they kept calling persisting that I did. The CVS money orders were stolen and fradulent.
