I received an email from them this morning that was suppose to be some sort of voodoo curse on me. Whatever...

I replied that I filed a police report because the check was obviously counterfeit. Also that they should resend payment by Western Union LOL. And then I set a filter in my gmail to automatically send emails from their address to the trash. So hopefully that's the last I'll hear from them.

Unfortunately this scam works all too often. I think I would've gone to the police with it. Perhaps it would help the fraud squad? I have to think the authorities are already working on cases like yours.

So their last desperate attempt to get you to hand over your money and your car is a voodoo curse, huh? What was the curse? Turn your Monte into a Yugo or something?

I sent this directly to you via The Curse Of The
Wicked Soul. Cradling the powers of the Orunmila to
Wizard Of Ingoni, I have unleashed an army of
seventy-two spirits and demons. The Eiye Efe will
gaze from above as the summons of the spirits appear
before your eyes. My cosmic powers have grown from
the fears of deception and will reek havoc and spill
the blood of the guilt. I have carved marks of evil
into your conscience and your spiritual blindness will
direct you to fall into the hands of proper
authorities. The curse will begin when I attach this
written segment of your soul "hope you are christain,
in the name of the almight God. help me thanks". For
you have only made me wiser. Money is just paper in
which I used to buy your soul. If you would like it
returned unharmed, you must make ammends to the
deception you have brought amongst yourself. If you
do not, you will live for eternity in the firey pits
of hell and in fear of Bytor, Light of Darkness,
Centurion Of Evil, Devil's Prince.
The U.S. Secret Service and the FBI will be on this
case if the funds is not sent today. Did you think
you'll eat somebodys money.
Jim "Wizard" Waskowiak
Owner Of Your Soul

Seriously, he will claim to curse you and then claim to send the authorities after you? If that was a "real"cashier's check, and he kept his receipt, he can stop payment and get his money back. Whatever. At least you did not get taken in this mess!
