The scammer asked me to help him pay for a delivery fee for a drilling machine as he is in another country and can’t use his bank account. He said the delivery fee is $5000, and he will send a check for me, the I could deposit the check and pay the delivery man. I didn’t want to do that as I think. $5000 is too much and unreasonable. Then he said he will send a check for $1300 only. Once the check arrived, the total amount was $6500, and the sender of this check is not under his name.

They offered to help me fix my car n to write me 2 checks to deposit in my account n to send the remaining of the money to a church

I received a check for 2940.00 for no reason and it says to go buy a bunch of gift cards and take pictures of them and then send them to [email protected]

Took them cement bags was paid with a check of the company name when deposit my bank said it didn’t have fund and I was charged the amount of the check that I had despostes which was what they had paid me. There name used was Dominic Carstensen and also Alexandra Carstensen

Lori Taylor contacted me (Elk Roofing, Llc) through the ScamPulse.com and asked for an estimate for a new roof. She accepted the proposal and sent a check for $8976.00. I suspected this could be a scam because she was pressuring me to deposit the check and start the work. I looked up the address of the house and found that it was on the market to be sold so I called the real estate agent and he had no idea who Lori Taylor was. I then called the company that issued the check (Macroreal United) and found out that Lori Taylor was writing fake checks in their name and they had to close their account at Wells Fargo because several fake checks had gone through and the account was overdrawn. MacroReal United has had at least 7 calls inquiring about suspected fake checks and several that were deposited. They appear to be targeting contractors all around the country.

I didn't they didn't get my money they could destroy my life financially. I received a FedEx envelope with a cashiers check and instructions for buying gift cards at Walmart it was an investigation of walmart and that they are not supposed to sell a certain number of cards and amounts at the same time. I was ti buy five 400.00 cards and what was left was mine and I was leary... So I decided I would just snap a shot front and back of cashier check and deposit it. Wells Fargo called a couple of hours later and told me that they were closing my account because check was no good. I said I didn't write it nor did I try cashing it or even spend anything why would I be treated like that. I thought I was protected by the bank. Boy, was I wrong my bank treated me like a criminal! Really? I got another direct deposit the following month and the next month I was trying to pay bills and my card was declined and they closed my account. Doesn't end there they have attached a "code" to my ss# and I can't open a bank account anywhere and it's been a month with zero dollars and I don't know if I can get Nov. I am going to be evicted I am at a loss for even thought much less words

I just received this scam in the mail, it came priority mail with my correct name and address, the check is fake, lucky I can spot a scam a mile away, please warn others about this, especially the elderly.

I sent my used ipod in good condition to this company months ago they had a Norton security certificate, so I felt safe. I sent my ipod & received an email saying I would be paid in 3-6 days. It never came, so I emailed them again where they assured me they would send me a new one. It never came, I finally texted the number from their website for help & they wanted to pay me through a cash app. I said I preferred a check gave them all my address information again, still no check. Finally I was thrilled four months later to receive a check in the mail with a tracking number package & it didn't clear the bank thanks to insufficient funds in their bank account. So I got charged $12.00 for their returned check.

I received cashiers told to do this and this I called the company stated they don't send items out like that so tore check up

Potential buyer sent me an overnight Cashiers Check, with extra money, $3,300, for shipping. You just deposit the check, then when it clears, you wire the shipping company the extra money! You wouldn’t think these FAKE CHECKS will clear, but they can for a short time, before bank realizes their bad . By then you send them funds and that’s it ! Your screwed !

Contact made by a person named Alison Gibson who was willing to pay asking price on a car I advertised on Craigslist. Offered to send check and someone would pick up car. I finally got a check from a company called *** Inc' (apparently legitimate company) but mailed from ***' (also legit). Check was for over $3000 of agreed price, supposedly to cover shipping expense. Almost certain check is fake though I have not tried to deposit it yet. ScamPulse.com has an alert on '***' for exactly this situation and it is a scam using hacked information from this company.
