BFC PRODUCE INCORPORATED BERNHARDT COMPANY I received a letter of acceptance as a Consumer Service Evaluator.  North Carolina

Thanks so much for your response. I have learned a lesson here even though in a bitter way! However, I now strongly believe in that concept of "once beaten twice shy." It can never repeat itself again.

Now, I think the people/person behind this scam can still be tracked down somehow by our FBI. I believe so much in their high integrity and capabilities to do this. The withdrawals of most of the money sent are made in the USA, such as those made in Georgia. I know it is not an easy tasks; it also will take a very long period of time to succeed. But, I believe they can do it. I believe the withdrawers have their pictures in whatever identity they produced during cashout. The cameras are all over the places too: though it is not impossible they are using fake identies, but their photos ids cannot be fake as well. A case is enough to do this successfully. Hence, Georgia can be taken into consideration.

A name of a recipient is enough to do the trick also. If all the databases for Money Gram transactions are thoroughly accessed, I believe the FBI will have a clue as to the secret behind this criminal activity. A withdrawer is enough if nabbed, to reveal the whole secret! I am only thinking it is possible and not suggesting since we already have in place highly intelligent people who are handling all criminal activities in this country. To support this thought, one of those already ripped-off, or in similar situation, reported that he/she called the Bank of America and the account was confirmed to be genuine. This means that there must be an owner with valid information. This information should be almost enough to track down this evil perpetrator, or a group of perpetrators.

Once again, thanks for the feedback.

 This is a common scam.   If some stranger were to approach you on the street and ask you to cash a check for $1,500, would you do it?  That's exactly what you did here.   In exchange for a bogus check, you sent untraceable cash transfers to people that you cannot identify.  

  You don't have any recourse here.    You're responsible for the phony check that you deposited and you have no idea who you sent the money to (undoubtedly the scammers did not use their real names or locations).   Someone has to repay the bank for the cash withdrawl based on a phony check. 

 There are a few red flags to this scam.   First, there is no such thing as "activating" a check.  When a check is written and signed, it is immediately payable to the party listed on the check.  The real reason they want you to call is to suck you into the scam.

  Second, what sort of company would send a valid $1920 check to a complete stranger? What would prevent people from just cashing these valid checks and keeping the money?  The only logical explanation would be that the check is not valid.

 Third, this scam takes advantage of consumer protection rules in the banking industry.  Regulation CC requires banks to make cash available to you for a deposited check, even before the check clears.   The scammers know this and they're hoping you don't.
