This needs to be read by EVERYONE....
You are all my freinds and I do not want any of you falling into trouble....
I am sick to death of emails coming through monster.com and totaljobs.com and other ways to my inbox saying that this person and that person has jobs for me... I was offered a modelling contract for African beer... I agreed to it... did everything I was told until I recieved a cheque for £5000.
I was asked to put it into my bank and send £4,200 for proffessional fees to the owners of Delazo fabrics. It was then I developed suspicions....
This you need to read.... This is a warning

REPEATED NAME CHANGED, NEW WEBSITES, PHONY REGISTRATIONS, ALL THIS TO CONFUSE WHO THEY ARE. MAKE NO MISTAKE WHO THESE FOLKS ARE. THUGS, CROOKS, CRIMINALS, SCUMBAGS TARGETING THOSE WHO ARE COMPUTER ILLITERATE, UNEMPLOYED, ELDERLY, STUDENTS, STAY-AT-HOME MOMS, RETIREES, AND THE INNOCENT. LURING THEM INTO CASHING FRAUDULENT CHECKS

I have been caught... I have £5,000 in my bank which i cannot use else when the cheque is found to be illegal I will be £5,000 in debt, plus these people according to the police will harrass you until your bank is empty and still harrass you and harrass you for more money... WATCH THEM!

The police and interpol are onto it... these people are hard to track as they move round so much and always change their email addresses and locations... their names though are very well known to all police and fraud websites..

These people are really crafty, they know what they want and they know how to get it. They have obviously seen my profile on a talent website called starnow.com... then sent me an email with that in the subject line so I thought it was a reply to one of the applications for a job I replied to.
They offered me a modelling contract for african beer... I was suspicious at first as I saw the Panarama documentary about African fraud... but they seemed legit so I eventually let me guard down and fell in head first.
I have now told them to leave me alone and the police are on to them and they are getting abusive because they want their money NOW!!! They are not getting it as I have told my bank and they are gonna watch the cheque... if it is genuinely false they will remove the money if they dont remove the money then I am gonna have to get more advice from the police
