Micheal Zinn - FRANK COKER - Metrotextile Limited This is a scam so make sure you do not fall for it. ripoff London United Kingdom Internet

I just wanted to give every one a heads up on this. A guy TRIED to scam me. He wanted me to cash some american express gift cheque for him and send him Via western union the money back minus 10% for me. He has been emailing me for two weeks. So I finaly said ok. I know it was a scam but I thought at least I know its a scam and if I say no he is going to go to someone else who will not know it is a scam. So I said ok. He sent me the so called payment.

I did my research and found they were counterfit. The big give away is that american express GIFT cheque do not come it 500.00. Only 10, 25, 50, or 100. That was the big give away. So I called American express(I got the number from american express websit) and AE confirmed they are counterfit. I am to mail the cheque and everything that the man emailed to me. Which I have keeped every email. To the Investagation office of AE.

When I recieved the letter in the mail I opened the envolope with gloves so I would not put my finger prints on them. Just in case they can look for finger print from the person that sent it to me. Hopefulley they will be able to catch this guy for trying to scam some one and for counterfitting cheque. I just wanted the name out there so incase some one else gets hit by him. I did send him a nice little email telling him what I thought of him. And that I turned him in to the proper authority.

I have inclosed also the email that was sent to me telling me what to do and who to send the money too. This guy went all out to try to make him look good. He even has a website, which I checked out. WWW.metro-textile.com. Dont be fooled the website was created in may of this year. here is emails he sent to me
