I am Lance Corporal Michael Pickens, United States Marines of the 172nd Infantry Brigade Schweinfurt Germany. I am on my second tour of duty in Iraq. On the 14th of may 2008 I was assigned with my unit for a raid on Baghdad’s Haifa street. In a Barbers shop we found a very large sum of American dollars running into millions. Sadly none of my colleagues would benefit from the find because they all died in an attack the next day at the same venue. The only officer informed of this money is Colonel Michael R. Stahlman of Marines Headquarters Battallion, Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms California. Unfortunately Colonel Stahlman died on October 5 from injuries sustained in a July 31 non hostile incident in Anbar Province Iraq. A private security company helped me move the money out of Iraq through Jordan to Malaysia. I really do not know if I would make it out of Iraq alive because i still have four months to go and I have no family because i lost them all in a plane crash years ago. I would like you to take possession of this money so that if I make it out of Iraq i can start a new life and also honor my friends and family.I want you to contact the security company as my family member so that you can take possession of the money till when i am out of Iraq. I wish to have your contact phone number and email address so I can forward it to the security company to enable them have direct contact with you as the beneficiary of the funds. Kindly send your reply to: (mikepickens@live.com) I await your response, Best Regards,Michael Pickens.

How stupid do some people think others can be?? Do I really think I have $800,000 sitting at Fed-Ex waiting for my $180 check to release the money??? COME ON!!! What’s up with these rediculous emails???

“I have been waiting for you to contact me for your Confirmable Bank Draft of $800.000.00 United States Dollars, but I did not hear from you since that time.
The only money you will send to the FEDEX COURIER COMPANY to deliver your Bank Draft direct to your postal Address in your country is ($180.00 US)only being delivery Fee of the Courier Company so far. Again, I would have paid that but they said no because they don’t know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage.”

Do you think people actually fall for this kind of craap???

Legal question about a old debt?

admin — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 08:10:31 +0000

I don’t need anyone putting me down and calling me a deadbeat PLEASE just some advise!!
In may of 2008 I had a payday loan through a on line company (bad idea I now know) they were to take the payment out of my checking, when they tried to take the money they notified me and said there was not enough to cover the payment. Turned out a direct deposit that was supposed to be made wasn’t. I said I would mail a money order which I did. I thought this was cleared up. I have looked high and low for my M.O. receipt and I cant find it, therefore if said company says they didn’t receive the payment then I do feel obligated to pay it yet again as its my bad that i lost my proof of payment…

Now over a year later i get a call from a company Eclipse Resolutions LLC in New York they have a called 4 or 5 times and leave a message I have tried to return their calls to find out what it was they wanted. When I did get a answer the person I was supposed to talk with was never around and there was no voice mail. So I continued to try and reach someone. I called this AM and spoke with someone they are calling in regards to the payday advance I described. I told them I need to see some documentation, something in writing…. OK fine but the secretary was out maybe if I call back the next day they can email or fax me something.. so I chat with this person for a bit, I expressed that IF I receive something in writing and this seems valid I can work out some type of agreement. But I was not unwilling to just send them money…. His response was “well you have screwed up get a lawyer” and he hung up on me…
So I called back spoke with someone else (at that point I still didn’t know what company I was dealing with) I tried to talk with him and was interrupted a number of times unable to ever finish a sentence, he then told me that If I didn’t call back tomorrow and set up a payment agreement and get them a payment via, checking account or debit/credit card by the 3rd that they were sending paper work to my County because I wrote a bad check across state lines and committed a felony offense. I told him again that if they sent me something in writing to validate the debt I would work out a plan to pay the debt starting 8/15 the earliest I would have money available.. He then proceeded to tell me that they were trying to work with me and it was what it was, if i didn’t have the money to them by the 3rd then i can expect it to be turned over to the county and he could no longer speak with me as he was leaving the office and the soonest I could get something in writing was via fax or email tomorrow IF I called them tomorrow and he wouldn’t even take my contact info (email/fax/mailing) so that first thing tomorrow they could get it sent to me. I also asked why I had not received anything up to this date and his response was they will not waste money mailing me a bill.

I am wondering if you can please tell me how to handle this situation? like I said if the original company claims they didn’t receive payment then I feel obligated to pay it. But I also do not have a good feeling about this other company. I am at a loss at this point and unsure what to do.
I have been trying to research this company and have came up empty handed. When they leave a message they say a name, and a call back number and case number: xxxxxx
The company that has been calling me is:
Elcipse Resolutions LLC a litigation company
Tonawanda, New York
1-888-368-1116

I appreciate any advise that you can give me. I have contacted a lawyer for his advise but haven’t heard back yet…

Thank you very much for your time.
They told me that another company purchased the debt and they represent that company, they themselves are a litigation company…. I agree if i can tfind the reciept then i need to pay it and i am willing to do so, If they can show me in writing that i owe them and that it would be reported on my credit as paid in full… he told me they can email me an agreement but its up to the credit agency to remove it from my report.

Different country depositing into my account?

admin — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 01:56:02 +0000

If someone in a foreign country wants to deposit money into my account what information do they need? It is somewhat urgent and a direct deposit would be faster than them just mailing me a check.

Overdrawn account and cashing a check?

admin — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 10:05:05 +0000

I have a Bank of America Checking account. I am overdrawn by about $100. My Child Support gets direct deposited, so it will pay off the owed balance. But it is going to be another week until that happens. In the meantime I am about to get my first unemployment check in the mail. Can I cash this check at the bank with out them taking the money for the account? Or do I have to go to a check cashing place and pay them to cash it until my account is caught up?

Obama Supports, please answer this?

admin — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 04:42:42 +0000

Since Obama is going to “spread the wealth”, where do I go to pick up my check? Does it come in the mail, direct deposit into my bank account? Since I work, will I even get a check?

I’ve heard alot of how he’s going to TAKE money, but not alot of how he’s going to GIVE any.

So, where do I pick up my check? Do you even know?
You people will be surprised in 2010.

We printed off papers to mail to the federal and state, and it was two weeks ago. We were to have them direct deposited into our bank account, and they still have not been deposited. We need to know who to get in touch with to get our money to us.
