David Bromley proposed job offer mailed out checks, checks were declined 113 Pirie Adelaide South Australia

In my original report I accused David Bromley of offering a fake job and luring people like me who are lower class desperate for any kind of a job.  All the accusation were and are true.  He lured us in and got us to deposit checks into our bank.  Thankfully though we were lucking and we are never doing this again.  You see our bank protected us and thanks to them we still have money in the bank and we are able to pay our bills this month. 

But what David Bromley did was wrong but like i said he preys on people like me that are lower class and are desperate. I was blinded by the fact that we could get some much needed items for my children to actually realize that this was a scam.  Dont get me wrong i am not sticking up for David Bromley as a matter of fact I am still going to warn everyone out there he is a scam artist and that he preys on people are desperate. And there are alot of us out there because of this economy. Just remember his name is David Bromley and he is from Australia but was born in England in 1960. He will approach people on the application IMESH where he offers you a job.

He will lure in anyone and once he gets you talking he will tell you that he is an artist with clients in the united states.  He will ask you to accept his "clients" payments and cash them at your bank and that you are to keep 10% and send the rest western union to his associate in England. His associate's name is Brenda Bills and she live in Kingslake, London in England. Mind you after he has your email address he will no longer contact you through IMESH he will only send you private emails and that is where he will ask for your full name, address and phone number.

He will not ask for any bank account numbers, or social security numbers.  He will sound very convincing and will even go so far to send you his name and address.  He will tell you to google him and if you look you will find some of his painting's are still in galleries and there will be a gallery on there of most of his works.  But if you dig deeper then you will find that he has not had an actually showing since 2006.  Also the checks will be sent to you via FedEx Express and if you check the tracking numbers then it will show that both checks were sent from the same place.

Also the checks will be sent to you from legitamte businesses that when you google may be Accredited by the Better Business Bureau and you will find websites all about them. But don't be fooled. We got copies of our counterfeit checks today and one of them was just tagged as payment stopped the other however was tagged "Fraud do not redepoit" and that it was a fictious check.  So beware of people who want to offer something to good to be true.

   Let's go way out on a hypothetical limb and assume that the checks are good.   Does this still sound like a good idea?   I strongly suggest that you Google the term Money Laundering.   Even if the checks were valid, you would still be doing something that could land you in prison.  

   I have found instances of this scheme were the checks and money orders turned out to be valid, and large sums were being wired to suspicous locations within Russia.    It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out when you're being used as a stooge in a money laundering scheme.  Then again, maybe it does, since so many people think passing money through their personal bank accounts and then forwarding by untraceable means is an actual job opportunity.   Sheesh!

Not knowing exactly how much these checks were worth, but they are usually in the $1000-$3000 range.  Did you really think you were going to earn $100-$300 for doing nothing more than depositing a check in your account and sending him the rest through Western Union?

There is a saying..if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.  In this case you got VERY lucky that your bank put the hold on the account.  Because if they didn't you would be out the money you sent this person.  Not only that but some banks will close your account because you attempted to deposit a stolen or counterfeit check..and that is what these were.

When i looked up the tracking number both checks were picked up at the same location  but were made out to be coming from 2 different locations within the USA. 
- If nothing up until this point caused you to think this may be a scam..at least this should have been a huge "red flag".

 If anyone you don't personally know asks you to deposit a check and send them some/all of the money through Western Union or other similar methods.  It is a scam..regardless of the reason they give you.

Now as to this person.  The name they gave you is fake.  If they gave you an address it is fake.  If they gave you any other information it is fake.  Don't expect him(if it is even a him)to contact you again.  But if they do expect to hear the "oh..I'm sorry..let me have them resend you the checks because I know they are good", or the "yea they have a bank issue so let me have them send you another check from another account".  As with everything else those of course would be lies as well.
