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.

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.
