***Money Fraud***
I am writing this message in the event that you encounter what I just did! Someone named Powell Pride had e-mailed me about buying my dress. They asked the price and offered to send a cashiers check for double the amount and then requested that I western union the rest of the money to their "client". Well, after doing some research on my own (my gut did not trust this person!) I found that this is a common scam on the internet! The cashiers check looks authentic, but it is actually fake! The bank accepts the check initially, you western union the money and then the bank comes after YOU for the cash! Well, I caught this in time and I really hope this does not happen to any of you!

I got those too, and never ever believe them! They are true frauds and i suggest just delete and block those emails as spam b/c that what they are. You can also pass them to the FBI website for investigation.
