 Main Question - Posted From Penm:
I was almost scammed by someone on AOL...they came to me from Craigslist and wanted me to cash a cashiers check. Is there a way to find out who owns this email address? fxdmanager@aol.com. Please let me know as I am filing a police report on the email trail that I have on him. Thanks,

Remember aol is a free email just like yahoo, gmail, etc, so anyone can sign up for any number of email ids. You did the right thing by not cashing a cashiers check, most of them are just fake and "accidently" overpay of some other reason that they want you to wire or send money back to them, but the money you have is all fraud and the bank will eventually come back after you. So if they wire you money for a rental place or money for rent, and send you 3000 dollars instead of 1800 for example, they will ask you to send the extra 1200 back to them... .but then the bank comes after you for the 3000 which was fake. So don't ever wire money back to anyone in this scenario. Usually they always ask for wire transfer or to get the money "quickly" for some excuse they come up with, always a dead give away. You may want to use the chat live feature on http://help.aol.com/help/microsites/microsite.do just to let them know the aol address, but it could easily all be fake info since its free.

the money order (fake) is one of the most used scams, because people assume its safe because they "get" a money order. Usually they request money to be wired back and wiring money on the internet because someone needs something "in a hurry" should always be a red flag to you

What was the email information that fxdmanager@aol.com sent to you? What was the scam? He probably uses the same email address name on yahoo, hotmail and other email providers too.
