I'm a victim of an Internet/phone scam. The scammer, Edwin Herrmann (probably not his real name) contracted with me to do an editing job. He sent a corporate check, said it was an overpayment, and asked me to return the overpayment via Western Union. Stupidly, I did so. I simply wasn't thinking.in addition to scamming me, he sent a stolen or duplicated check from a company called Sea Box, Inc.in New Jersey, and told me to send the money to an Ellen Kurzweil, who likely is in on the scam or the victim of identity theft. So in addition to defrauding me, he has likely passed a fraudulent check and possibly stolen someone's identity.
