This is a post that seems to be very similar to my story, I had found this post in an attempt to hear similar stories of people get scammed out of there money to relate, but then I discover this post from 11 months ago and the user fell prey to a similar scam, now I chucked it up to it being a coincidence but the the tactics the scammer used were very similar to the one the scammer I met today used.
I was approached by a man outside a chase bank this afternoon who showed me a money order check for $990. He told me it was his daughter was in the hospital, and because his own account was overdrawn by $500, he asked if I could deposit the money order for him and give him the cash, minus $40 for my troubles. That way, he would have $950 to spend on his daughter instead of the $490 he'd get from depositing it into his own overdrawn account. The only difference was I was stupid enough to just hand him the money before I deposited the check, once I realized it was an invalid money order, he was gone, scammers lied saying he went to check his car and I was stupid and gullible enough to not realized I was being scammed. This took place in the same city Brooklyn NY just like the previous user. I'm trying to file a police report because I know Ill never get that money back, but if these are the same people, then It can be used to follow a pattern. I'm not really sure.
