[QUOTE="caveeagle, post: 14112992, member: 128063"] I will try to keep this short. My 20y old daughter works down in Orlando as a lifeguard, and sells Mary Kay cosmetics on the side (mostely to friends). Earlier this week she gets a txt from somebody in Jacksonville wanting to buy some MK products from her. Say they got her contact info from the MK website (not that unusual). Said they would send her a money order for the products. Money oder shows up a day or two later. Think its was actually two money orders amounting to ~$2,000. (order was only for around $100). The 'customer' starts txting her frantically, telling her it was a huge mistake. Customer is (claims to be) deaf and disabled, and needs the cosmetics asap for a wedding. Asking my daughter to deposit these money orders and go to western union to wire her the balance of ~$1,900. I told my daughter this sounded like a scam, and that she should probably talk to the police about this. (this was yesterday). Well.. between school and work, she has not done anything and is now getting abusive txt messages from this Person. They seem to have very bad spelling and poor use of grammer. I suspect this is not even comming from anywhere in the US. I asked her to stop by the local Police office in Winter Garden to report this. What would you do? [/QUOTE]
