I received exactly the same letter, I mean word for word!
Victim Location 27101
Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
Received an alert through email via ups stating I had a package. Package came. It was a check for $2900.00 and a letter stating to deposit the amount into my account, wait for it to clear, then withdraw $2400, keeping $400 for myself plus $100 for gas/transportation. I was to go to Walmart and purchase 3 blank money orders in the amount of $1000, $1000, and $400 and report to them how well the service was. The letter then stated that I was to go to Fedex Office and send them via priority overnight to Ray Carlos. (However the name on the package said David Cole) If I did this in 48 hours I would receive a $300 Walmart gift card bonus. I was to also send an email to [email protected] with a picture copy of the fedex delivery slip and my evaluation report. I looked up the address that it came from and it was a restaurant out in California. They also told me that if I don’t text them then I will receive a call and a follow up visit to my address by their TASK FORCE to retrieve the envelope.
Fortunately, I knew it felt too good to be true. Went to the bank to see if it was a fake. They told me it was a scam.
I called the number on the package (private of course) and when I asked for David Cole he hung up. Also when I called the number they told me to text, it was a google voice number.
