I got a FedEx envelope today with a counterfit cashiers check in it. It had Shawn Reilly as a return address on it. The person (Nigerian scam artist) sending it was supposedly from Cotonu Benin, but the tracking number said this was picked up in Newark, NJ, which I'm guessing is a LONG, LONG ways from there! This guy (Shawn) has an address in Abington, MA, making this all the much easier to believe. I DID NOT cash this cashiers check, I never intended to. I just wanted to inform everyone of the persons associated with this scam. The fake check was from Perkins State Bank, when looked up on the net, I found that these are fraudulent. (not that I didn't already know that) The routing numbers are correct, but account numbers are incorrect. This is enough for them to be cashed, but for them to bounce in a week or two! The one I got had a remitter by the name of Ted Tomaalli, which was written in the same ink as the rest of the check, but my name was typed in with a typewriter. It looks to be signed by a stamp bearing the name, I think, Tiffany Wilfe. These checks have no security or watermarks. The check number is 2119927, I'm guessing it would be the same on all of them. I'm guessing they just copy all of them.
