Fraud ring for money orders and official checks.

No phone call from this number but a letter from West Broadway exchange. Called the Dave Collins. Very hard to understand. He wanted me to deposit the check immediatly then call him back. I was supposed to tell the bank it was a paycheck, not a grant check. That made me suspicious. I then looked up The Bank of New York online and couldn't find the address that was on the check and then West Broadway Exchange and found these comments. I am not depositing the check and thank you all for your input that this is a scam. I will not be depositing the check.

This is a *SCAM*.... repeat a *SCAM*!!! I have experience with these types of Con men as I have been on the Internet for the last 15 yrs. Also, my wife works in a bank...She investigated these "Checks" and immediately found they were frauds (You have to KNOW what to look for!)

Also, the Area code to call in the letter (647) is in Ontario, Canada....The guys real name is Mark Preston - and he uses a cell phone. He is a black African... I can tell by his accent - I have a lot of experience with accents as well!!

I have reported this *SCAM* to the FBI, the Secret Service and the Canadian authorities...So hopefully, he will be apprehended, prosecuted and jailed for Federal check fraud!! Hope this helps everyone!! If you require further assistance email me @ 'gombey100@yahoo.com'

I recieved the same today, called and got the same responses you all did. I didnt deposit the check, I am very skeptical. Clearly googling it looks like the right thing to do. However, I noticed that none of the posts stated what happened after depositing the money. Did the bank reject it, did anyone ever get the rest of the funds? What is the scam? That's what I'm trying to figure out so if anyone can help me out I would appreciate it.

I receive the letter with a check from West Broadway Exchange Inc. I googled what is supposed to be there Global Head office. Well the Global Head office: 4331 Highway 66 South, Rogersville TN, 37857 belongs to Walmart.

WE GOT ON FOR 1971,00 AND THEN WHEN MY HUSBAND DEPOSITED ON 08/17THE AMOUNT HE WAS THEN TOLD TO WESTERN UNION $1800.00 TO LONDON, UK THEN THEY WOULD GET CHECK TO US FOR 9,999.00 AND THE $1800.00 WAS TO COVER THE TAXS ON MONEY. HE CALLED MY HUSBAND MULT TIMES ON AUG 08/18 TO WIRE THE $1800.00 THEN WE WOULD GET A CHECK IN 3 DAYS FOR THE FULL AMOUNT. TODAY HE TELLS MY HUSBAND THAT HE WOULD NEED $440.00 DOLLARS IN A COUNTER CHECK TO RELEASE THE MONEY. SO I CALLED THE GUY AND HE GOT A LITTLE IRRIATED W/ME BECAUSE OF MY QUESTIONS I KNEW THEN IT WAS A SCAM. HE EVEN TOLD MY HUSBAND NOT TO TELL ANYONE ABOUT THIS THAT IT WAS AN GRANT FROM OBAMA FOR ECONOMIC DEV. WE BELIEVED THIS WAS AN ANSWER TO OUR PRAYERS BECAUSE WE ARE TRYING TO BUY A HOUSE. HIS NAME WAS DAVE COLLINS PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS GUY... DON'T GET SCAMMED BY HIM LIKE WE DID! WE DIDN'T SEND ANY MORE MONEY TO HIM.

The check is still false; it will take the bank a couple of days. In the meantime what this guy is trying to do is get you to withdraw your money from the bank and send it off right away to some destination. By that time the damage is done. The amount you have indicated above and the person to contact is exactly what was written in the letter and the check I received. I don't think the bank will do anything, it will just bounce back and you will probably receive a letter from the bank, you may want to inquire as to where the un-deposit able check will go, because on the back of the check may have your account information.

I already deposited the check and the bank didnt even find out that the check was false.!! Why?? Right after I deposited the check I called the guy that I deposited the check of 2,650.95and then he told me to sent the 2,300$ to this lady named(cyndi jhon) in london and the guy  told me not to tell anyone who(cyndi jhon) was. He told us  to tell people that(cyndi jhon) is just a friend.?!? Do you know wat he's trying to do?? Wat i'm gonna do is leave the chk in my account and not to send (cyndi jhon) the money and leave everything like it is. And then after a while pases; I will spend the money( if the check really has money) Do you know wat the bank would do if they find out its not a real check?? Or Do you know if he can steal the money of the own bank?? Should I leave my account with the dumb check? Like I didnt gave him alot of info. I just know that the only person that picks up the Phone is this guy supposely named ( mr. Dave collins) and he doesnt really know how to talk english. I can tell by bis accent. So plz write bac! Thx soo much

If I were you I would talk to the bank first that you deposited the check to. You should bring the letter with you to show them and explain what happened. Ask them not release any information to them. You should be ok, and do not spend any amounts that were given and deposited. This is a total fraud and they are very clever. I don't believe the bank will deposit the check, but I don't know how they route the information, so you may want to speak with your bank right away.

I am really scared that they might scam me. Is it true? Theres a check and a letter that the people send me and they are telling me to deposit the check and to not tell anyone( which I found really weird)! Please respond as soon as possible?!! Please!!! I already deposited the check and I just found out in the internet that it is a scam ?! What should I do !!! PLEASE HELP Email me at (sarahworld16@live.com)

I did not receive a call from this no. but the # was on a letter titled West Broadway Exchange Inc. with some investigation turns out this a total scam beware of any letters with checks in them with this company name and number.
