Hi my name is G. Williams.

On the 20th of January, 09 I became a victim of a SCAM one those work from home, that I found on the internet, I was sent 3 checks for $950.00 each a total of $2850.00 I was told to keep 10% and send the rest western union,
I took the checks to my bank, I thaught when the teller saw that amount he would say Miss. Williams we will have to hold these checks untill it clears because you don't have this amount of money in your account, but he did not do so, he gave me the money and I sent it western union.
The next day the bank called and said Miss. Williams those checks that you cash yesterday wer counterfit, I cryid all day all night with disbilief that this happend to me.  I do work, I have direct deposit from my job, when they made the deposit into my account the bank froze my account, they kept the money, I have to pay them back every penny, ever sence then I have not been able to pay my rent, wich is $1100.00, my utility bills $300.00, my car note $250.00 and I don't even have money for food, barely gas to get to work, I have no one else to turn to that's why am writing this petition.
Please help me. I want to thank you in advance for at least taking the time to read this.

Hi I am at the current time losing my vehicle. I have a load of bills to pay, and kids to take care of alone. I am just barely making it with my income and those responsibilities, I am 4 payments behind on my car note as well as the taxes need to be paid. I really need the vehicle to help me and my children get around better at the current time we ride the bus stuck in the rain at times and always late for different appts. Its just total chaos since my vehicle has been on the verge of being repo status. So if your able to help please contact me because I would greatly appreciate it.

My family really needs help. We paid August rent in full but we still owed some on July. We were tring to not be in the whole a lot but they took the August rent and took what we owed for July and caused us to owe even more this month. I have been looking for a job since January. My husband is the only one working and it is getting harder. I have three kids that live in the house they don't know what is going on but they see how we look in our face and notice that something is wrong. All I asked for is 700 because after the 11th of August they are going to add warrant and lawyers fees to what we owe. Right now it is 460.00 but I know that I can't find a way to pay all that off by the 11th of the month. I truely hope you find it in your heart to help my family. We would be greatful if you could because we are tring our best for our kids and we are tring our hardest not to give up.

We have been turned down for state assistance, my husband has va benefits for his healthcare,but I have none and need to see a doctor but with no hope of that in the near future. I am so fearful of being evicted I don't know what to do can someone please help.

My rent isnt much, but when we are down to 1 income then it seems like a lot. I'm not quite 1 month behind and the time is going by quick, my landlord needs his money too. If I cant come up with $450.00 now then how will I come up with $900.00 on the 1st.I have 2 kids to think about and am stressed out.

I had to go out on disability, my pension, which was suppose to be 66% of my pay, was reduced because I was getting SSD. What does one have to do with the other? So, they took $225.00 away from my pension. ... I really do feel for you, there are so many people out there wanting to feed off of the honest people, it makes this 60 year old want to cry. Remember, what goes around, comes around...also for those sharks out there, May God see to it that you get what you deserve.

I was almost a victim of this scam too. I recieved two checks equaling 1600. I took them to my bank and asked them first. No one should have to pay these back, its not fair that people get scammed. Its not their fault. These are impossible to stop, but the fbi needs to work hard to shut down people who are committing these crimes

I have a beautiful son, Keegan. He is 9 months old. I found out I was pregnant again this past February. Two days after I found out I was pregnant, my boyfriend, was sent to county jail.. on his way to prison. I've been able to get by from our small income tax & selling our only vehicle. I have liquidated every asset possible. I am now 21 weeks pregnant, no medical care, and me and my son will be on the street by tomorrow night if I am not able to pay my back rent. I pray every night that God will please help me through this. I cannot imagine me and my son on the streets. I feel I am a failure and a disappointment to him.

My husband and I live in our house that we rent with our 3 boys, twins are 3 and the youngest is 2. My husband is between jobs right now, he does construction so the pay is never the same or at the same time. We are renting this house for 1000 dollars a month and we need help paying just this months rent. We are 11 days late with the rent and the landlord has already called us today and told us that we need to pay or we are out. I can't think of anyone else to run to for help with me being a stay home mom with my kids. my family cant help they are in a rut themselves. please if you can help it would be most appreciated. Thank you.

This is only the beginning ! There are a lot of individuals and families, weither their working or have been laid off their job are unemployed. Cercumstances have led us all in desperation, just trying to make ends meet, we are all searching for " Anything, if if works". "Desperation"leaves us VOLNURABLE!,It clouds our intuity of decernment. It can put us in Dangerous situations. I have been there. I have Lived it. It can Physically make you sick, It can even harm you Bodly, and Financially. We tend to "Justify" it with our own Fear, and life situations. My advice, to all that are suffering from the fallout, PRAY!Get to know Jesus. Through HIM, You will find Freedom, from your Fears , from your Worries. You will find Peace. For HE has Promised, to never leave us or forsake us, and by your Faith in HIM, your Trust in HIM, HE WILL PROVIDE TO ALL YOUR NEEDS!!!I have been unemployed since July 2007. HE has provided me with with pleanty of food and Kept a Roof over my head, Most of all, HE has provided me PEACE and COMFORT. I find myself starting to worry, I still feel the "Desperation" trying to "Chew" through HIS hedge, But HIS hedge is Thick, by my Faith in HIM to come through, and Believe me, HE will be there, IN THE NICK OF TIME!I have lived the Miricles. Evil is on the Prowl, Like Hungry Wolves, Stalking you, Waiting for the attack. Its the begining of the Worst, So Please, Dont be left in the "Clouds" God Bless you. "For Behold, I come to your door and knock" Do you hear HIM knocking? Just Open the Bible to John 3:16, and HE will come in and sup with you!!! Its so Awsome
