I went on Craigslist to post resume's for work. I got a response from a alleged "Susan Wiggins" who wanted to have me pet sit her dog Ziggy. She sent me a corp. Check from Wachovia bank via USPS on Fril. 06/01. She gave me instructions to deposit the check in my bank & when it clears send $1750.00 to a Regina Durley: 112 E Austin st. Marshall, TX 75670 via Western union. The cost to transfer the money $146.00 the amount transfered was 1604.00. She told me to keep $400.00 in advance for deposit for my pet sitting duties. I called my bank 06/06 and my account was negative over 1000 dollars. This is a clear case of fraud. I filed a police report & checked w/my bank. They did not do a thorough check of the check issued to me to make sure it was legitamite. The money was appropriated on Tues. June 5th on that day I sent the money via Western union. I assumed the check was good because it was a corp. Check & looked real.
