toneme.net Toneme Local Internet Advertising Agency of Oregon 17761 Dunn Rd Ne Unit# B2 Hubbard, OR 97032-9720 In this video I show you how to identify a genuine email from a scammers email.

So, instead of complaining online, I did some basic research and found a phone number he used in a very old forum he had signed up for using the emial he was using to communicate with me. (You still following.) When I had called the number I found out it was his mothers phone number, she told me so. After I explained to her, she said she would talk to him. I said, "ok, in the mean time I am going to report this to the local FBI New Jersey." The FBI office in New Jersey directed me to my local office (Portland) which directed me to ic3.gov. I think I got a confirmation report from ic3.gov that I emailed to the kid and he sent me my money back, ($2000) immediately. Probably scarred him. The point is if you take the time and do some very simple online research you can protect yourself from being a victim of identity theft ...
