I was Rip off by this individual name Jaime Stone who is operating in the US and UK with Johnson Kenny and Olakunle Fortune
Early September I placed an ad to sell my computer desk for 300.00 and got a reply via email from Jaime Stone ([email protected]) agreeing in buying my computer. Surprinsinly on September 14 Jaime sent me via Fedex (ref. 857467881843) three money order checks from Equity Oil Co. For the amount of 650.00 U.S. Each to pay for my computer.
He instructed me go to my bank (The National Bank of Canada) to cash in the checks, take the 300.00 for the purchase of my computer and send the remaining balance via western union (MTCN 803-672-4567) to Johnson Kenny at 28 Dalton Street, Manchester UK M2 6HQ which I did send the remaining money thinking that it was just an honest transaction. Told him to come and pickup the computer that was ready for it.
Then, on September 29 he sent me another email asking me for a favor that one of his client in the USA owes him some money to accept 5 checks for 650.00 each and keep 10% for helping him and send the remaining balance via western union (MTCN 627-637-8213 sent October 12) to Olakunle Fortune at Heron House 47 Lloyd Street, Manchester UK M2 5LE Again without knowing that these checks were fake.
All these transactions were done by my brother Luis who is in Quebec, Canada on my behalf since I moved to Panama, Central America to establish myself here.
On October 16 the National Bank of Canada put a warning message (Fraude) on my brothers account and stop all possible transactions on his account because of these checks that came back as fake checks. Notice that the bank teller cashed in these checks on September 14 and October 10 without verifying first with the compensation department if these checks were legit or have funds.
They told my brother that he is responsible for the amount lost totalling 5,200 U.S. And urge him to pay it ASAP. After my brother explained what happenned to the Director and Security for the bank that he was just doing me a favor for the purchase of my computer and acting on my behalf since I moved to Panama, they simply refusing to hear and understand and now are putting pressure on him to pay.
Myself and my brother are honest, decent and poor people that try to get ahead in life. Now I am responsible for this rip-off by Jaime Stone. I simply moved here to start a family. My girlfriend is pregnant of my first child and because of her age, it is a high risk pregnancy. To top it up, after an amniotic test, the baby will come this December coming. I recently moved to a rent house to provide a place to live for my family.
I lost my job on October 16, the day that the bad news came. My brother is trying to make ends meet. He also have a house to pay in Quebec. All this for what. I asked for help to IFCC, the IC3W, the recol.ca the Secret service, UK police, phone busters and not news from them at all. The RCMP and community police stations near my brothers house in Quebec do not want to assist him at all. I do not know what to do.
I think that in part the National Bank of Canada teller is responsible for this fraud because their mistake of cash in the checks without verifying if funds were available.
I really need help, I feel responsible for my brothers trust. This is an organize crime operating in the US, UK and I want justice. I have proofs of emails, addresses of ups envelops, checks. I requested copy to the western union office.
