Well I think I have been scammed by the same guy as some others. He posted a listing and I responded. here is his response:

Hello,
 
Thanks for applying for the post, I quite I appreciate it? I received and read your e-mail and it's reasonable and acceptable. So I will give this a go" 
I'm looking for someone that can be trusted and reliable to work very well and good understanding person.
 
This position is home-based and flexible, working with me is basically about instructions and following them, my only fear is that I may come at you impromptu sometimes, so I need someone  who can be able to meet up with my irregular timings. As my assistant, your activities amongst other things will include;
*Running personal errands, supervisions and monitoring.
Scheduling programmes, flights and keeping me up to date with them.
Acting as an alternative telephone correspondence while I'm away. Making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf.
Handling and monitoring some of my financial activities..
Basic wage is $400 a week . I'm sure you'll

understand I tend to have a very busy schedule at t his point, as I am presently in United Kingdom , I will be back in Three Weeks.
 
I think you're the right person for  this post ,  Please note that this position is not office based for now because of my frequent travels and tight schedules, it's a part-time, work from home basis and the flexibility means that there will be busier weeks than others, so it's a little difficult judging the exact number of hours you'll be doing per week. If you can manage your time properly, this job may even give you some extra while you do something else on the side.
As I have said, I'd want us to get a head start with things  as soon as possible. I do have a pile up of work and a number of unattended chores which you can immediately assist me with, I hope we can meet up with the workload eventually.
 
Permit me to use the coming week to test your efficiency and diligence towards all this, also to work out your time schedule and fit it to mine. I really need to find the perfect person for this job, I'm confident you can take up the challenge and on the long run we should have a relatively sound working relationship between us.. I'm online most of the time as I am hard of hearing so I prefer  we contact each other through E-mails, but if there is need for me to call, I will be glad to do that.  I am glad you are willing to work with me and i promise to be a good boss.

I am also glad on the commitment in working. I have been checking my files and what i would want you to do for me this week is to run some errands out to some of the orphanage home, I do that every month. The funds will be in form of Money Order and it will be sent over to you from one of my clients and i have some list to email you once you received the funds,You will make some arrangements by buying some stuff for the kids in the nearest store around you so you can mail them out.
I will get you more information on that, I will like you to get back to me with your
Contact Details such as:
 
Full Name:
Contact

Address NO P.O BOX:
City:
State:
Zip-Code:
Phone Number:
Age:
 
 
Once I have received your contact information, I will get back to you with the task for this week,Understand you will also be paid as well as its important for me to make the necessary steps before i get back from my business trip back to the states.
 
Hope I am clear with that.
 
Get back as soon as possible..
 
John Nieves



Next he asked me to cash a bunch of money orders that I thought were legit and then wire the money to an orphanage and himself.

"Whenever I read about stuff like this I always wonder why there are no safeguards in place to protect innocent victims. The bank is cashing bogus money orders..you would think they would share some blame. After all how would you know they were bogus unless the bank informed you when you go to cash it?..doesn't seem fair to me and seems like the bank is an accomplice in a sense."


 As usual, what you wish and what is reality are two different things. As an expert on sinister banks, I would have expected you to be familiar with Regulation CC, which requires banks to make funds available in a given time period, regardless of whether the deposited instrument has fully cleared. No doubt if banks held all deposits until they had positively cleared, you'd be complaining about how they were holding deposits for long periods out of spite.


 Ultimately, an account holder is responsible for what they deposit into their account. It is just bad practice to deposit checks or money orders from unknown sources. If you're going to do this, you need to wait a minimum of 15 business days to be sure the instrument has time to make it back to the source.

Yep, common scam...

And what is even sadder, is that these heartless scammers are praying on those that are already financially struggling and need work. And those desperate for work are most likely to fall for this.

I imagine you cashed the money orders at your bank. If you did, yes, they will bounce and not only is the bank going to hold you responsible for the amount..but additional fees as well.

I am not sure what laws if any will protect you. Whenever I read about stuff like this I always wonder why there are no safeguards in place to protect innocent victims. The bank is cashing bogus money orders..you would think they would share some blame. After all how would you know they were bogus unless the bank informed you when you go to cash it?..doesn't seem fair to me and seems like the bank is an accomplice in a sense.

I would TELL the bank you wish to file a dispute but I do not know if it will help in this case. I hope it does. You can notify the authorities as well..but this person is in another country..not good.

Reporting here was good though, maybe it will help someone else not to fall for this..and maybe something can be done to protect innocent people who have to cover bogus checks and money orders the banks cash without verifying legitimacy. Heck, they often give people a hard time with their paychecks..but a bogus money order or check they cash without question..go figure.
