Person by the name of Tom Richard contacted me through my modeling website initially for a related job. Said his company was putting on a fashion show, and he wanted me to participate.
He offered to pay me $1000 up front, but with money orders or cashiers checks only. I knew it was dodgy after that. So I gave him an outrageous name to put on the money orders, and he sent them to me.
He sent me $4000 worth of US postal money orders. He told me I had to take them directly to the bank and deposit them. He told me to keep my $1000, and he needed me to send the other $3000 by Western Union to some supposed fashion show producer that was putting together the show in New York.
I emailed him and told him I would send him his $3000, but in his name only, and they would be sent in US postal orders as well. He was irrate and sent me all kinds of messages being beligerent and threatening. He told me if I didnt go deposit the money orders at my bank and send his business partner in NY his $3000, that he would get the police involved.
I taunted him a bit more, made him very angry, and that made me smile. Finally I think he realized I wasnt going to cash the money orders and he left me alone.
