Their check just showed up on our ***** ***** checking account. It was not authorized by us, we never even heard of this 'company', have no idea what they do and their check just said it was 'Authorized By Customer', which is was not. Can't believe ***** ***** cashed it! I called the company (from # on the check) and they asked for more personal information, which I did not give them. Somehow they got our checking account information. We had to close the account and open a new one. A major inconvenience.

Fake check sent for more than originally agreed

I work for a charity - a new "donor" e-mailed saying they were going to donate $1500, but when they sent the check by registered post it was for $2650. They wanted us to send proof of deposit, and when I mentioned the check being for a different amount I was told they would "deal with the remaining balance" in due course. The idea of course is that I deposit the check, they ask for the difference back, and I pay it before realizing that the original check has bounced. I asked for a new check as "a lot of scams operate this way unfortunately", and "some unscrupulous people think it is acceptable to steal money from charities like that" and funnily enough I never heard back from them. When our bookkeeper went to deposit the check, it unsurprisingly bounced.

E-mail address used by scammer was Jill Leila, [email protected]

sent me a cashier's check in amount of $2950.14 to purchase 5 American Express gift cards under the guise of a secret survey assignment. I was to purchase these cards but tell cashier's that I was not doing a secret survey. Then I was to scratch off the silver backing and take pictures of the front and back of cards and text to 832-374-3280. The $450 was to be my commission payment for participating in the secret survey.
