Well IF I had just blindly deposited their check for $2000 and then withdrew $800 to send to them via western union, then the $2000 check would bounce and I would be out $800 PLUS bank fees....even if was just a bounced check fee...that would overdraw my account right now
But Nah! thankfully I smelled something rotten in Finland (where she is supposedly from) 2 emails ago

Heard from the bank today that they only forward the info to their fraud department and because I wasnt out any $ they just hang onto it! Advised me to contact police in Tallahassee and give them the name and address that was given to me of the person who was going to go "collect" the money (I never sent) via western union.
So I called police and they said the name/address would be fake and because I didnt loose any $, they cant do anything either
. Said I should contact federal trade commision.
Really! It's no wonder they never catch any of these people! And what IF I WAS out any money? By the time they fumble the ball to everyone else there would be no hope of catching them

That is so disappointing! How can they just pass the buck so to speak. They should contact the next in line, not you. So you were supposed to be stupid about it and lose $ then maybe they could help you??!! That is why scaming is such a lucrative business, the authorities don't give a darn!

Yep..no help at all...in fact was advised by police to let the scammer know I have contacted police. and I should then just forget about it.

Well the scammers wont care who you contacted because I am sure they know they wont be coming after them
