Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I received a text from a company wanting to use personal vehicles to place advertisement wraps on. The company was an energy drink so I looked them up on the internet. They seemed to be a real company. I was told that a check would be sent to me to pay for the wrap as well as my first advertisement rental compensation. I was sent a postal tracking # but the check did not come instead it was sent back return to sender. I received a check on 6/30 for $2450 and was confused about where it came from because I had not been informed of a different tracking # or different plan for the advertisement. The address on the package was from Auto Zone Auto Parts in Largo, FL and the check was from EZPAWN, LP inLaredo, TX. I contacted the text person again to verify the origin of the check to make sure they sent it. They then proceeded to be very short with me practically demanding that I deposit the check via mobile deposit or ATM. When I was unable to take care of the deposit immediately they were extremely persistent that I needed to take action now. My suspicions grew stronger and I looked the scam procedure up on the ScamPulse.com site.
