A Paul Duran, from LA. Ga. 90012 or Los Angeles, Ca., sent me 2 money orders from; so called; US Postal Service for $985.75 each. I took the money orders to my bank to see if I could cash them and do as the instructions from a so called "Secret Shopper" wrote for me to do. I was suppose to send $1770.07 to: Debra Murillo, 2434 W. Ave. 33, Los Angeles, Ca 90065 USA., and an e-mail address: [email protected].
The clerk at the bank said that they would have to hold the MO's for 2 to 3 day to see if they," cleared. I asked her what the problem was and she told me that they were fake. I took the MO's back and went home. This evening around 6:52 pm, I received a call from Paul; his # is 323-432-7418,.He said," Hello Vickie. How are you doing?" I told him I was angry. He asked why and I told him that I knew the MO's were fake and that I had turned them over to the Police. He hung up on me. My husband called their number back and a lady answered. About 5 minuets later Paul called my number back and said," Hello, how are you." Then I proceeded to tell him again what the problem was. He asked me what my name was and I told him,"you should know, you just called me about 5 minuets ago, and I told you that I had given the MO's to the police and that they said they were going to turn them over to the FBI." He said, "FBI?" I said yes, and he told me that he would get back to me about the problem later. I told him no, that I wanted to know what the problem was now before the FBI called me and got involved. He again said, "The FBI?" and hung up on me again.
Below is the address folder, telephone # and if you need a copy of the MO's, I'll have them mailed to you.The UPS Express Envelope was from a Debbie Brugnoni

I hope something can be done to stop these people. Oh by the way they both had a foreign accent.
Thank You

  • I got the same thing. Mine was sent from Miami Florida. two postal money orders for 985.75 from a Paul Duran in CA, suppose to send the money via western union to another person in CA after taking out 200.00 for my "services". Got suspicious when I goggled the addresses. The address for Paul Duran is The Los Angeles Times offices. What did you do with the money orders? I have kept everything in the original envelope not knowing what to do with them. Thanks for your help, Liz
