For some reason I always though you were in the 16-19 range.

Just read your blog on Myspace, sorry to hear you got scammed.

On the Western Union Scam....don't the checks end up being fake? How long has it been since you cashed it? I think what will happen is you will owe all the money back plus fees.

You don’t have to wait long to use the money, but that doesn’t mean the check is good. Under federal law, banks have to make the funds you deposit available quickly – usually within one to five days, depending on the type of check. But just because you can withdraw the money doesn’t mean the check is good, even if it’s a cashier’s check. It can take weeks for the forgery to be discovered and the check to bounce.

You are responsible for the checks you deposit. That’s because you’re in the best position to determine the risk – you’re the one dealing directly with the person who is arranging for the check to be sent to you. When a check bounces, the bank deducts the amount that was originally credited to your account. If there isn’t enough to cover it, the bank may be able to take money from other accounts you have at that institution, or sue you to recover the funds. In some cases, law enforcement authorities could bring charges against the victims because it may look like they were involved in the scam and knew the check was counterfeit.

This is from fraud.org. Sucks to be you!

they have you deposit the check into your account and then wire the larger amount to this person somewhere that you have an address and the check is counterfeit so when you do actually wire the money, the money is then taken out of your account and you can be in the hole sometimes thousands of dollars. the scam artists then have your money and it is really hard to get back.
