Charge for insurance coverage of my phone lines but never resolved my issue. I was Charge for a bill after account termination

- Lancaster, OH, USA

On 3.5.19, I got hit up by a guy, John West, from Cricket Wireless to do their logo wrap on my car by text message. The message was: "Let your car advertise for Cricket Wireless and receive $400 weekly. For more details send me your email." Everything is by text and email. I filled out an application with my name address and email. The email is [email protected]. They sent me a check for $2950.00. The cashier's check is written against People's Security, 150 N Washington Ave, Scranton, AP 18503. The return address on the envelope is Amanda Disman, 48110 Legrande Ln, Hilliard, FL 32046. He texted today, and said "What's going on? How come you never responded to my text nor emails since you got the check? Do I take it that you want to scam me or what? I have been patient with you and assume that you are running a scam here. Get your information to the authority for prosecution if I do not get to hear back from you today."
