Help! Is this a scam?! A few weeks ago I was contacted about repairing some computers by Cristopher Kreece CEO of Better World books. A quick Google search and find the company and the name of the guy listed as Co-Founder and Vice President I quote a price on the repairs, he accepts, and I give him my address and phone number. He mails me a check which is larger then the quoted amount with instructions to send the information to the person responsible for shipping the computers to me. 1/2 through Western Union 1/2 through MoneyGram. Once I recieved the check I deposited it into my bank and was waiting for the check to clear. Once the check arrived the person contacting me became much more aggressive. They began sending me texts as well as e-mails about initiating the transfer. I insisted on waiting until the funds I had been sent were cleared, he continued to message me about the issue for an "update" through the weekend and the president's day holiday. The funds clear and I initiate the transfers. Within an hour I am contacted by Western Union and told that they refused the transfer. After talking to a few representatives I am told that the recipient is banned from using Western Union. Shortly after that the texts start coming in saying Western Union did something wrong and I need to change that transfer to a MoneyGram. I was busy at the time and unable to get to WU before they close and the messages became very frequent and pushy. It also seemed like the sender was an English as a second language speaker. Knowing that Christopher Kreece of Better World Books is a college educated Midwestern male I start to wonder if this is a legitimate transaction and wonder if I should be concerned. At the moment I have not lost any money and I currently control a sum of this person's money. I am going to fix the transfer as requested tomorrow but I just wonder if something is fishy and I started looking into this more. Christopher 'Kreece' Fuchs http://www.
