Hi Guys, I really need everyone's help for something. My friend seems to be on the receiving end of a cheque scam, that preyed on their kindness. Here's what happened:
Person A needed money, and had a cheque from his uncle, with no name written on it, but Person A claimed the bank would hold the money from the cheque, and he needed it sooner then that. Person B (my friend) offered to give the money to them and just deposit the cheque in their account. The cheque bounced, and person A keeps making promises to drop off the money to person B, but then never shows up, or makes excuses.
The cheque was for $500
When the cheque bounced, an additional $2000 was somehow taken from Person B's bank account also, still trying to find out how this happened.
This is all the info I can find on Person A:
He has given his name as Ethan (don't know his last name)
his e-mail address is ethan()laptop()AT()hotmail().()com (just take out all the ()'s *DO NOT CONTACT HIM PLEASE*
His cell phone is 506-260-8712 (service provider is Telus Mobility) again *DO NOT CONTACT HIM PLEASE*
He lives in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada.
His Uncle's name is Terry G. N. Galbraith, as per his cheque which bounced.
I've got "Ethan's" Plentyoffish account name, and I have "Ethan's uncle's" address (as per the cheque), as well as a picture of "Ethan", which are available if you feel it will help you search for "Ethan". Just contact me through e-mail if you think you need them (digital()dolphin()@()gmail().()com).
Basically, we're looking for any or all of the following:
"Ethan's" house address, house phone or full name.
My friend (person B) is hoping to take this person to small claims court, but from my own experience with these kind of things, unless you can basically find and force the person to attend, you're out of luck. I know there isn't a lot to go on, but I'm hoping the "great uficle" can help me out again on behalf of my friend.
Thanks everyone! |
