Yea the ad was on craigslist and they went by the name Maureen Roberts they sent a picture of some lady saying it was them and they worked for Fybom inc and that they needed a personal assistant they sent me the same letter with the phone number +1 (347) 674-2318 . They sent a $3540 check and told me to keep $500 and to buy these scratch off cards of $500 each and send her the numbers. Thank goodness I didn't deposit the check into my account but I'm just mad that people would go through these lengths to try and scam people that are really in need of a job and are trying to do things the legal way
I deposited a check but haven't taken any of the money out what do I do? I told him I thought this was a scam. Should I contact my bank asap and put a stop payment or something on it.
Yes! I suggest you go in person and tell them you found out it was a scam & fraudulent check!
Also make sure you turn it in as fraud to the local authority's!
I just called my bank and they said since its pending already not to spend any of it and I will be contacted in 5 business days as to claim it as a fraud check. Now if I go to the cops will I get into any trouble
