This morning while sewing I got a knock on my door, and received a Fed Ex overnight envelope (my last name not spelled correctly and appeared as "Rosengalen"). I opened it to find a badly written letter in all caps:
"EMAIL PAYOFFICER1001[at]GMAIL.COM AND TEXT 850-542-0037 AS SOON AS THIS PAYMENT IS RECEIVED FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS...THANK Y"
Inside (shown on the right of the photo) were two money orders. At first I wasn't sure if I had promised someone a project or was supposed to finish one up. The letter didn't make sense, so I texted and emailed them. The text referred to email the person at the address I mentioned earlier. I did a search for the person listed on the envelope, and the guy had no idea what I was talking about (it was a place of business that made plane parts). I had noticed his name did not match the Google # on the envelope and letter, as well as the person's name who "purchased" the money orders.
I contacted the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Co. Police about everything. While waiting an email popped up about a secret shopping assignment. It said to cash what was sent, keep any extra for expenses, go to a local Walmart, spend up to $50 on anything, keep $300, and to Western Union the remainder minus fees. Western Union raises red flags for me.
An officer came by later on. I showed him everything, and he suggested showing the checks at the bank inside the Walmart nearby. I thanked him, then headed to Walmart.
I stopped by Walmart and asked one of the employees if he could look at it. He said they were indeed fake, and let me take a photo of the real one to compare to the fake. He copied the fakes for me, and I turned the fakes over to the branch.
I later received an email from "Mr. Jamie Andrew" that sounded identical to the Secret Shopper email. A response was sent stating that I unexpectedly was sent a package containing counterfeit money orders, they have been turned into the branch, I never accepted a work offer, and that the local police and my lawyer have been notified. In addition I mentioned the individual who's information was falsely use has been notified.
I also received a text message, where I stated to never have him contact me again, the above info, and that it has been emailed to him. He responsed with, "What are you yapping about Erika?"
I wanted to tell him to fuck off, but I don't want to keep feeding the troll.

Incidentally, there is a rather amusing site devoted entirely to trolling Nigerian spammers:

If some jerk pulls this one in future, and you're up for some amusing fun, you may want to try this technique.

They do go to some lengths dont they! My parents got a letter from their gas supplier saying their boiler was due for a service and to fill in the form with their bank details and send it back!. Had I not been home at the time they would have got scammed. It looked so legit but the giveaway was that the return address wasnt to the Gas company!
