new scam

Tweet

Today I received a check in the mail for #3990.00 and an offer of employment as a shopper. Now I was a Banker for 30 years so i looked very closely at the check, it looked good. But I didn't know the company it came from nor the bank it was drawn on. So the Good old Internet came to my help, there was no Company by the name and it gave me the Bank's phone numbers in TX. I called and sure enough it was a scam, but If I had been fooled, the check would have gone into my bank account and it could have taken at least 2 weeks for it to fully clear, I don't know how they would have gotten my money but I'm sure the next letter will tell me. After talking to the bank I called the FBI, interstate Fraud is what this crime is called and that makes it a Federal crime. The Agent took all my information but told me it had to have been at least $10,000 and I had to be out that much money before they could do anything. This is how these people get away with this over and over again. So this is your warning. PM me with questions. the more we knoe the better we are at stopping this.
