You will develop friendships with many people, many of them own businesses and are very powerful people. Since networking, I have become friends with screenwriters, professors, authors of major books and countless major businesses just wondering what a neon teepee floating across their computer is all about.

I have been lucky so far that something questionable has always occurred that has kept me from being "taken for a ride." I was however, a victim of identity theft which keeps me leery of any online interaction. There was a charge on my credit card from a Golf Company. We don't play golf. I use my credit card for many online purchases and bill pay so I don't know from where my information was intercepted, but I can tell you that it's a very uneasy feeling. Unfortunately, as careful as each of us are, these crooks seem to be one step ahead of us. I find it disheartening that we live in a world where believing in people is becoming more difficult and trust is becoming obsolete. Thank you for commenting.

I just try to be who I am, I have been taken for a ride once when I was pretty much new into all this but soon learned about these things the hard way. It's a pity and a wonder that how come these people devote their lives doing this? There is just no morality or ethics we can expect from them and I will be more than happy to see them face justice :) Hi Diane.

As a result, I don't usually question them. I have to say you're a wonderful friend to make that phone call and help your friend out. There should be more people like you. I believe the more people that become aware of the extent of these scams, the less people will be taken advantage of. I absolutely agree with you in the hopes that these low lives face justice.

I personally never fell for this kind of scam but saved my friend once as the scammer had done a little research and was pretending to be an employee of the company and was using the same name, in fact the company had web mail service so even the email was from their domain! Luckily a phone call by me cleared all that up. Indeed there are some low life people out there that take a person’s helplessness as an opportunity to prey upon. Hope they face justice some day You know sometimes it is better to follow your instincts, something that you did at the right time.

I hope these posts are making others aware of the extent some will go to in order to scam people. I'm glad you followed up with the FBI and Boxx Technologies. The gentlemen I had spoken to was very nice and I felt bad that they were in the middle of it all. Hopefully between you and I and anyone else that's been contacted by these people, they'll get caught and prosecuted and made an example of. Thank you for your post it gave me hope that I'm reaching an audience and hopefully helping some. It’s good to know that you didn’t get scammed either.

The very next day after they contacted you, they contacted me too!! They didn't ask for my bank info, but they tried to do it through POst Office money orders! I knew from the second that they said they were going to send WAY too much $$$ that it was a scam, but I followed it through so that I could get the evidence, and I copy the entire transcript into a word document! I then emailed it to the FBI, printed it out, and when the money orders arrived, I took all the hard copies, including the UPS envelope they sent, and took it all down to the Post Office here. The clerk took ONE LOOK at the money order, went and got his manager! The Manager came out and told me that, of course, they were forgeries! I came back to the house and the SECOND that I got on the computer, they IM'd me and asked for the tracking order number. I told them that the bank wouldn't deposit or cash them, and asked if I still had the job! LOL At that point, they told me that yes I would still work for them, but I would have to work for dispatch, and I had to go to Walmart and BUY a money and send it to them.... at that point I told them no, and I followed it up with this comment: "No. I am done. You are completely out in left field. This is SUPPOSED to be about me working for a company....which one? Viva La Shoes, or Boxx technologies?? Is the distribution center in Austin, where Boxx Technologies is, in Georgia, where the Money Order came from, or in the new state where the new distribution is SUPPOSED to be? You are absolutely full of crap, I have already emailed the transcripts of all the chat convos, emails, everything to the FBI and the post office has all the evidence in hard copy including the handwriting samples from the address on the UPS envelope and the fake names on the Money Orders to pin down what fake ID's are being used. You are already getting posts on Google and other search engines about your scam from the lady that you asked BANK INFORMATION from.... Did you REALLY think that people are THAT STUPID?? Money Order scams are so old that they are PASSE.... get a new scheme Wayne, I mean Dowan, I mean Sandra....sorry it CAN get a bit confusing. Did you even SEE my resume?? I was an INTELLIGENCE OPERATIVE for the Department of Defense looking for work in HOMELAND SECURITY!!! Get a grip!! You NEED to go legit because you are too STUPID to pull criminal schemes off.... Hellooooo? Yeah runaway, the FBI will find you anyways....." I also called Boxx to let them know that they were being inadvertently involved in this scheme, and they have already contacted Craigslist, they will now contact CareerBuilder.com and Monster.com to shut this crap down. The FBI and the Post Master General will now investigate/prosecute this case, and they have more than enough clues to find this person and enough evidence to prosecute! Score one for the GOOD GUYS!!!
