I had a "friend" I had been chatting with on Yahoo Instant Messenger for well over 5years. The name is Adel Badmus, and came to me through a profile search and discovered her as a very pretty girl I was wanting to chat with online. She responded, added each other to buddy lists and the relationship was started.
That was over 5years ago. Now today, about 4weeks ago, she, (if it was even a pretty girl), asked me to cash some money orders from people that owed her parents money, with the excuse of it taking so long to get American money orders cashed, and later regarding bank account-to-bank account transfer, that British government taxes money in bank.
So, I decided, if they clear the bank, (not knowing Fed guideline about making funds available withing couple-a-days), I would send her, her money. Sure enough, 2 business days go by, and it appears the checks are posted as "good" money. I turn around, and make the Western Union transfer of $1,900.00 using the money to pay transfer fee, and took $10 for myself.
5 business days later, my personal bank reverses the $2000.00 deposit, charges me a return fee, and now I'm screwed with no recourse. When I chatted with her about this result, she said she had been taken advantage of, and her boss, Debra Law, 307 Beverly Drive, Houston, TX 77049, was very mad at her and would probably lose her job over this. Yeah... Right! I still have $11,000.00 in worthless Albertsons MoneyGram money orders.
