SCAMMED

For those that don't know yet, we were recently scammed out of about $2,300.00 from a fraudulent certified check! We sold an old projector and it the mount/hdmi cable we had on Videogon and the guy wanted us to do a C.O.D payment with UPS which requires the buyer to pay with certified funds via cashiers check/money order to the UPS driver before UPS will relinquesh the package to him. After 3 weeks (don't know why it takes so long) UPS finally gave me the certified check which Jessi and I deposited into our MidFirst bank account. Their Fraud department contacted us this morning and told us the check is a fake as it was printed on fake versa paper and has fake routing numbers. It had also been attempted to be cashed or deposited at another institution before. I insured both packages for the amounts they were worth, however UPS says they aren't responsible for any of it so they can't do anything. I say bullsh*t but we will see. We have to file a police report whenever we get the check back from MidFirst so maybe the cops will find the guy. If any of you know of any other channels I could go through for recourse to try and get my money back then please post and let us know or call us as this is not a small amount we are talking about and we need that money. That is like 2 mortgage payments! Needless to say, it has NOT been a good week. FYI for all you, DO NOT EVER use a C.O.D with UPS.
