Spouse received a text. Said a check was being delivered to our house via UPS next Day Air. She was asked to notify them by text when it arrived. Then instructed to deposit the check for $5100.00 in her account and then withdraw $4100 from it to give to the "installer" that would meet with her and she would keep the extra $1000 as her fee for the promotional decal from Nestle's Pure Life that they were to put on her car for advertising purposes. Check was mailed from Texas, Business address on the check(no stub-just the bare check in a dirty manila envelope with her name on it via UPS) was 8223 Village Harbor Drive, Cornelius, NC 28031. Drawn on 'First National Bank 60-1809/433'. This bank doesn't exist as far as I can tell, and the routing number was unverifed(000005463) We blocked their number and they texted back from another number. That was blocked as well. Also noted the business name appears to have a typo('Patners') Please verify and get the word out on this scam.

They wanted me to deposit the check, then go to the post office and purchase 3 money orders for $985 each, and 4 books of stamps. They also asked me to contact me after I followed those steps.

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

wanted to use one of my photos for a painting and was going to pay me $500 for it. Sent me a check for $2400 and tried to get me to Zelle or venmo them the difference. Seemed shady even though the art account was legit and the client checked out and was super pushy about me paying them. Sent me Zelle info that didn’t match with the venmo info and the phone number they gave and name they gave me didn’t match the name of the owner of the number when I google searched it so I could tell things were getting more shady. I called them out as being a scam and they said they would never stoop so low but their English was kind of weird at that point and almost didn’t make sense so I called my bank immediately and they said the check would likely bounce and that I would be protected so long as I didn’t give them any bank account information or send them any money via cash apps. Thankfully I didn’t send them any money via cash apps and didn’t lose any money but I almost did if the whole process didn’t seem so sketchy. I blocked the account on Instagram before I reported it so unfortunately I don’t have any of the cash app handles or names and phone numbers etc.

I received a txt one night 8pm that said only "Hi". I replied they must have the wrong # b/c I didn't recognize the phone number. He replied with his name, James and a badge ID #, stating I was "basically a millionaire as of that moment, but would need to follow some steps he was sending me via email, in order to claim my check." Next txt msg from him said, I'd won 3.5 million dollars through mega million sweepstakes, but would have to pay the customs fee, which was minimal to receive 3. 5 million dollars. If i did not pay then my check would be stuck in customs. He told me to answer my phone right then he was calling to give me the info as it was less time consuming, so reluctantly I answered. My heart sank when I realized he didn't speak English. It wasn't just that he had an accident, no he was speaking another language, and only knew "hello" and the name he'd given me over txt, "James". After I hung up from the phone call he never contacted me again. Maybe he baited someone else faster as I was dragging my feet over 2 days

first a friend told me about this and the agent reached out to me via text and told me that i will get a message from usps with a tracking number for a check they are sending me . and the agent said that when i receive the check to take a picture of it then go deposit it in my bank and then send the agent a copy of the receipt showing that i deposited it. then wait for the check to clear then the agent told me to go withdrawal 2500 dollars and then take that and get 5 apple cards for 500 dollars each then text pictures of the cards front and back with the security codes to the agent and then after that I would receive another check within 48 hours for 150,000 dollars and it would be mine to do what i want to do with it and i would not have to pay it back.so i did receive the first check took it to the bank and explained what the agent wanted me to do and they said it was a scam that any time someone sends you a check to deposit then send them money back on apple cards is a scam and told me to write void on it or shred it and then my friend told me she spoke to the agent and they told her that i have their money and if i do not deposit the first check that they sent me then they would call the cops on me that i was supposed to deposit it then withdrawal 2,500 and send the agent the information from the cards and then within 48 hours they would send me a check for 150,000 dollars for me to keep and do not have to pay it back. my friend did what the agent told her to do and she said she got the 2nd check within 48 hours for the 150,000 dollars and it is not a scam.so i need to know what to do i still have the check they sent me but i cannot deposit it because the bank told me to write void on it because if i was to deposit and it did not clear then i would be in the negative 2500 plus be out that money that the agent had me send them so i need to know if this is real or a very big scam or should i have the agent send me a new check and then do what they want me to do or take a picture of the check they sent me and send it to you I will call you in the morning if that is ok let me know what to do asap my phone number is ************* and my email address is ***************************** .

The victim was contacted by text saying their resume was spotted on CareerBuilder and should go on zoom to conduct an interview. They went through the interview, did due diligence, and determined it was not a scam. They later sent them a check of $4,500 and they asked to send the money to "vendors" and keep $300 for themselves. It was until they sent $1,000 they realized it was a scam.

I listed two sofas on Craigs list, got a hit to purchase them from *************. He wanted to purchase them asap.

Then got another e mail from a ***** ****. Also wanted to purchase sofas, site unseen. Willing to pay what I asked (1500.) dollars plus extra 50 dollars to hold it for him. Said he would make arrangements for pick up and delivery. He will send me a check, when I cash the check he will send moving company to pick up. Asked for my name, address, specifically said no poboxes. Texted him my name and address only. Week later check arrives for 5000. Dollars. Said I should take my money and give the rest to the movers. Will contact me with details on who is picking up the sofas. I emailed him, said I was not happy with these details, to contact me thru text. Have not heard anything from either one. Days went by and I did text him saying I think I need to give this to the police.

Have not heard anything else. My daughter did some research and found this particular scheme on Craig’s list complaints.

I have the check which is from a total different person and is from a cabinet company in Arizona!

What should I do with the check?
