Services used FedEx - Hijacked account I looked at the "from" address it had a phone number and an address and a name. I will not disclose the name since I determined she had nothing to do with it, also the Phone is a legitimate business and will not disclose that HOWEVER here is what I did find. The Phone was to a Business in Ontario Canada, however the address was to Newark NJ. Remember None of the address match to any known location doing a google map search on any of them turns up nothing.

Current status We received a FEDEX package that contained a letter with all the addresses and information in it. It also had two "U.S. Postal Service Money Orders" each worth $990.00 for a total of $1980. The letter contained instructions to go to my bank cash the money orders then send the money via a Local Western Union to the addresses listed above. The humorous part was that the assignment was to evaluate a Western Union. Anyway I will continue to attempt to string this one along and post updates when I can.
Here are the FAKE Documents.
Here are some additional links to the same type or same scam.

I got the same letter from David Wilson @ wilsond@bulmail.org for a secret shopper on Western Union. Glad I checked it out! Thanks for posting!!
ReplyDeleteI received on from:
ReplyDeleteTracy Duarte
74 Hill st
Fall river Ma,02723
It was a uses money order for $992.00 with instructions to shop Wal-Mart and western union and to send the remainder of the money to Carie Davis
My name is Tracy Duarte from Fall River, My identity and credit card was stolen in November 2013. I have no idea who stole my card and identity but since then I've received letters and phone calls from people about bogus checks they have received. I have reported this issue to the FBI, Postal Inspector and my Discover card where a 1000.00 of charges were billed for postage from stamps.com. The FBI has opened a claim and it is considered cyber fraud. My Discover card is currently investigating as well. I have nothing to do with the fraud and respectfully ask that you remove my information from the internet. Posting my information only opens the door to more fraud. If you contact the FBI you will hear that I've opened a claim. I'm unemployed and have a baby at home. This entire experience has been a nightmare. I've received hundreds of letters returned from the post office to me. They have me fill out a form releasing custody of the documents to them, I have to mail them back each time. If you want to contact me you can. The state police of Ma suggested that I google my name and start a blog and that is how I found this page. If you would like to contact me please feel free to do so but please remove my name. I'm a victim as well.
ReplyDeleteI have received a money order from the same address as some of the other people on here and am very sorry this has happened to you. I emailed the bank which the money order for$1,271 was written and was to go to western union at walmart and cash it and send it to someone in chicago..if you would like me to send the information to the Maine State Police..FBI or whatever let me know and I will do so..sorry again for this happening to you..it is terrible how low some people can be.
DeleteIn addition, I will be starting a blog in the next few days to put my story out there and hopefully this nightmare will come to an end!
ReplyDeleteI just received this today a cashier check or $1320. And am supposed to use 31 @ walmart and send the rest -my 200 salary via money gram... called my local police and the FBI but they said they couldn't do anything unless more people were reporting the same crime
ReplyDeleteTracy I am sorry you are going through this .I was also looking you up because of the postage .. I'm surprised that they are still able to use your name and I would think that they could track it some how... hope your situation gets solved soon ... As for me I'm glad I read all of this and know a scam when I see
ReplyDeleteOne...
I really appreciate it. It's so stressful. I called stamps.com and they've shut down a few accounts but more than likely they are setting up an account and then changing the senders name to my name. I'm happy people are finding my information now and reaching out. This has been one of the worst experiences ever. The FBI said I'm one of thousands that this happens to. Hopefully, Discover will make some progress soon.
DeleteI just changed my blogger name to TLD. My husbands name was listed before. I encourage everyone to continue to contact the FBI. If enough of us make complaints they have to do something. Tracy
ReplyDeleteOmg thank god i googled that guys name before spending money that we don't have.just got a check in the mail for $2350-assignment go to Walmart buy 4 moneypak gift cards worth $500 each.sent by Matthew Shaw.you would think they would come up with a new name
ReplyDeleteI received the same exact thing , a check for 2350.00. The assignment to go to Walmart and buy moneypac gift cards, for 500.00 on each card. I deposited the check and had my bank put a hold on the check. The check was fradulent, just happy that my bank worked with me. I was to skeptical to spend the money.
DeleteI hope they get caught soon. I'm glad people are continuing to post and get this information out there. I just hope the nightmare ends for me soon.
ReplyDeleteI also received a postal money order for $990 from "tracy duarte" with instructions to deposit it in my bank, the spend $50 on whatever I wanted at walmart, take out $200 for my salary, then with the remaining amount go to western union and send it to kenneth harris in Instanbul, Turkey! I still have the m.o, the instruction letter, and the mailing label from the envelope. Which agency should I contact?
ReplyDeleteI am so disappointed to hear that people are still receiving mail with my name as a sender. I would contact the postal inspector and the FBI. They will log your complaint.Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like they are doing much now but hopefully the investigators at Discover will "discover" something soon.
ReplyDeleteI got a letter and a cashier's check from the same address and the name "Tracy Duarte". The check was for $2,460... and included the letter of instructions... I looked up the address and the name and it appears to be a real person!
ReplyDeleteHelen, as you can see from my posts on this Blog, I'm the victim of identity theft. The check is not real and I encourage you to contact the FBI. .That's why I'm posting on this blog. Hopefully, this will come to an end soon. Tracy
ReplyDeleteYes, I just saw your posts, David, sorry I didn't read them earlier! You mention there is already an FBI case open for this, is there any way I can get the info about it (case#, etc.). PNC Bank is now involved with this case, I have met with them about my counterfeit check, and they will be investigating this and contacting the FBI, but if there is already an open case on this, it may be easier and more effective to add this case to it instead of opening a new one. The more we have on this scammer, the more likely he or she is to get caught! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Helen, It's Tracy. I can call them tomorrow but I believe you can contact them and they will have my information on file. I also contacted the postal inspector. Discover Financial is investigating as well be cause they stole my credit card number and charged postal charges on the card. I think there are quite a few people involved in this scam. I just received a return envelope and it was addressed to Tracy Yellow:( Hopefully, this will start to clear up soon.
ReplyDeleteTracy, I sent you a message to your FB account a while ago, with me personal email address, would you please email me. I would like to get all the info you have about this case to pass it on to PNC Bank and their investigators.
ReplyDeleteI received the same stuff by priority mail today. After reading all the posts, I still don't understand how the scam works. Are the money orders counterfeit?
ReplyDeleteBill, All of the money orders and cashier's checks are counterfeit. You cash the money order and they group tells you to keep a portion of the check and mail 80% back to whomever they've selected to receive the balance. Of course once you've mailed the check you bank will send you a notice saying the cashier's check or money order is bogus. I hope these people get caught at some point!
ReplyDeleteIt's all counterfeit. Report it to the FBI through the Internet. It's considered Internet Fraud. Hopefully, once enough of us have reported it they will do something.
ReplyDeleteTracy
I got a cashier's check from PNC Bank. I went to PNC bank, and even though I don't have an account there they cashed for me. I later returned the money when I found out that the check was fake. It looked so real that the bank couldn't tell apparently (honestly though I think they are just incompetent).
