Hello ,
I really do appreciate your effort and i will Love to do Payment with you soon. However,
based on your mail i will be
making a payment for the 5 Computers.I must confess I'm comfortable with the cost and its
quite reasonable and
affordable. I would like to make the payment for the Computer ahead of my shipper
arrival,My shipper will be
coming with the 5 Softwares for the installations of the Computers.
I'll be sending a US certified Check for payment from which I'll like you to deduct the
fees for the 5 Computers and
help me to send the rest balance to the shipper that will move the Computer from mine
place to your place for the
Service because i will be going on a visit to my Mother State today and my shipper is
right now in CA ,but as soon as he has
got a confirmation that the fund for him to bring the computers to you is ready and it has
been sent to him he
would be coming to deliver the computers to you and i hope you would be able to send the
fund to him via
Money Gram?.
I will keep you posted of when you are likely to receive the payment.If this is okay with
you let me have the
following information,Your Full name, Address & Phone #.for the payment to be made out
to you.Hope to hear from
you soon. Have a good day.
Regard.

Alliyah,
I am sorry but unfortunately I will not be able to give change to anyone. I must have the
amount owed to me in cash, Certified check or via Paypal at the time of sale/service. If
you are able to comply with these conditions, I will do work for you.
Have a nice day,

so now what do you want me to do i really want you to help me on this computers
#
Alliyah,
You may send me the computer systems via the courier of your choice. I recommend UPS so I
can sign for the package- that way you'll know when I have it. As for payment, you may go
to www.paypal.com and register an account if you don't already have one. Once you've
registered, you may use the "Send Funds" option. Send to kba004@gmail.com and we
can go from there. You may send me cash or Certified-check via courier and once verified,
I will send the computer systems back to you.
Please let me know if these conditions are suitable and how you would like to proceed. Our
business hours are Monday-Saturday 11am-8pm.

Alliyah,
It has come to our attention that the check sent to us is a fraudulent document. If your
computer systems are en route for delivery, please understand that we will not be doing
any work until payment has been received. You may attempt to pay us one more time within
the next 24 hours using Paypal. If we do not receive payment by then, this transaction
will be considered null and void. Should your computer systems arrive at any point
thereafter, they will be returned to you as well. Our attorneys have advised us that we
should not pursue further business with you at this time, as our involvement in any
unethical business transaction would make us liable. Thank you for your understanding and
have a nice day.

#
Alliyah,
The check received by us verified by our bank and found by to be fraudulent. We can not
give change for a falsified document, and will not do business based on fraud. Please
either send funds via Paypal, or have your client pay in cash if you would like to
continue the business transaction. Thank you and have a good day.

i dont believe that the check is not real bcuz my client that issue it to you has
inform me that the funds has been released from the account the check is issue from so i
want you to let me know whats going on...okay
#
Alliyah,
The check is in the possession of our bank at this time. The bank attempted to cash it but
soon discovered it to be fraudulent and could not proceed. As far as we know, the bank has
the check, along with any related documents, on file for use in an investigation. We have
no control over what they do with it from hereon. If you or your client have any other
questions regarding the check or the account, you will have to contact the bank that
issued the check. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you personally.

woooooo i dont like this why all this now that my shipper is waiting for the money,what
do u think we can do now as to help me with the money for my shipper.
#
Alliyah,
The only thing I can suggest if you want us to work for you is to pay us using Paypal.
There is nothing more we can do for you if you or your shipper can not comply with these
terms. We apologize for any inconvenience, have a nice day.

okay then where is the check now?
#
Alliyah,
The check is in the possession of our bank, Chase NA. The bank has advised us that they
will proceed with an investigation and it will most likely not concern KBA4 PC Repair from
hereon out. Whomever is responsible for issuing the check will most likely become part of
the investigation, though. And due to the nature of the incident, that it involved the use
of the US Mail system (this includes UPS/FedEx and USPS as well as all other couriers) as
well as Internet communication, the potential for legal action is there. For your own
information, I suggest reading the following page, and familiarizing yourself with the
law(s) cited, so that you don't get caught up in something like this again.
