I received an email from Kimberly Lopez wanting to order Mary Kay Products. She said she would be getting a check to me and she would \'Pick Up\' the order. ( I was warned from a friend that these types of Scams were going on.)
A week later I received a check from \'Aetna\' Life Insurance Co, delivered by FedX. (A rather large check $1,900.00) it looked convincing...like a beneficiary payment from a Life Insurance policy. No paperwork included to explain Why I was receiving such a check..?
The same day I got an email from Kimberly Lopez telling me that she \'Knew\' I had received the check and she had a tracking # for the check.
She went on to advise me to get the check in the bank ASAP.....and to send Her back the \'difference\' of money, (after I pay myself for the Mary Kay order). She gave me the name to mail the difference of Money to; Anthony Mcgaw, in Helena, Montana 59603.
She said she would be coming to town soon and come to MY house to pick up the Mary Kay order!.. Eeek!
I then realized that it was a \'Scam\' And I sent her an email telling her so!

BEWARE!!!! I would of had to Pay the Bank back the money, (for the fraudulent check) on top of loosing Mary Kay Product to this SCAM!!!

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
