text: why are questions closed for new answers? i am just asking because i really need to answer the question concerning the camelia international scam.  people beware! this is a scam.  i, unfortunately, am the victim of such.  i recieved a check in the mail for $4,500.00.  i, like many others out there am not a total skeptic and though i thought it weird, i deposited the check into my account.  after the 5 day waiting period the check was returned to my bank as counterfeit.  when i tried to reach my initial contact, micheal peterson, and advise him of the status of the "first donation", his reply was that he was terminating me and that they have stopped the check.  "stopped the check?" like he had a choice.  someone needs to stop him and his "company" from forwarding falsified documents.  someone needs to warn others not to fall for "fast cash", "work from home", "your time for money" schemes that are thrown to us on a daily basis.  i guess that i am that someone.  fool me once...shame on you, fool me twice...shame on me. thank you for sharing. that was very nice of you. i m sorry that you were being scammed though. good luck next time. don't give up! mistakes do happen on the way to success.
