Anybody else get this email?

If you actually receive the check, it will be sent by UPS overnight express, charged to a corporate account which Murray/McFly has hacked into... so there is interstate theft and fraud right off the bat. I would think the FBI should be interested.

The BoA cashier's check is an interesting but amateurish bit of fakery. A friend works at the security printer where they actually print the authentic document blanks, and he was able to point out at least seven features which were wrong about the check. With magnification even more might pop out.

There will be no note or explanation with the check. Nothing is handwritten or traceable. He will email a few days later asking if you've received the payment, which will be far in excess of your requested amount. Has anybody received a shipping address? I think we should each mail the bastard a box of dog shit or some used condoms.

Hi email address is a Swedish yahoo account... but of course he could be anywhere and probably uses a drop-ship service to collect his stuff so even a shipping address is probably a front. It is probably not an actual person but a criminal syndicate that will shortly switch names now that we've found him out. It could even be a minor Al Quaeda fundraising effort, with any weapons gathered sent to bolster the anti-west fight. The irony of targeting knifemakers who support our troops might just be the sort of humor that these bozos would find funny.
 
Tom, that's interesting. Guess you got a check also?

I did get a shipping address from McFly. But like you I figured it was a front.
 
Here's the mailing address he gives in case somebody wants to bother sending something disgusting. (just make sure it's legal)

Here's a bogus one I recently got:

"Hello,

How are you? I'm optimistic you are fine. This might just be a
surprise to you but I want you to pardon me for not informing you
about my traveling to Edinburg for a three
days Seminar. It was something urgent and i didn't even inform anyone
about this traveling. You know what, I just got myself in serious
trouble here. I got my wallet misplaced on my
way to the hotel I lodged in after the Seminar yesterday which was
actually the last day. My money,phone, cards,diary, my return ticket
and other vital documents are all in the wallet. I
have lost all contacts. I can not even make calls, i only have access
to the internet and that is why i'm sending you this email so that you
could help me out with $1500 which is about
1000 united kingdom pounds to pay for my bills and to sort myself out.
But I will appreciate any amount you could afford. I will pay you back
upon my arrival back home.

You can send the fund with my name and the address below via any
Western union money transfer outlet or any Money gramm around you or
inside any bank. This is the fastest way for
me to receive the fund here immediately.

Name : Kenneth Zweerink
Address: 80 High Street,The Royal Mile,EH1 1TH,Edinburgh,United Kingdom

Looking forward to hearing from you soon

thanks

Kenny"

The real Kenneth Zweerink lives in Omaha. I sold him a couple things in the last year or so.
 
That's the one. I have sold a knife to Kenneth Zweerink before, likely the one you mentioned. I knew this wasn't him but I couldn't get past the name.

Thanks for letting me know I'm not nuts.

Here's another address he sent... where he wants me to send the Western Union moneygram. As if....
The first one is where he wants knives sent. The second is where he's asking you to send a Western Union moneygram for the mistaken overpayment.

I've reported all the above online to the Metropolitan Police in London. Perhaps they'll do something about it.

Don, Your reply reminded me of when I drove a truck a short time trying to earn a living in the early 70's. Normally the truck stops were popular places for part time hookers to hang out. You'd be asleep in the cab of the truck and you'd hear a rapping at the door followed by, "Hey mister, you want a date?" The best response was, "let me check with my wife". It worked everytime. :D
