TODAY, I received a cashiers check in the amount of $2,770 with instructions to deposit the check into my account and then go to the Apple Store and purchase 3 specific iPhones. After that I am instructed to mail them to an entirely different address in N.C., along with all unused money, but the $300 that I am to be paid for doing this.
The address to which I am supposed to send (by Fedex or UPS Next Day Air Early) the phones and the remainder of the money is: Slide J. Bradley, 1530 Guinness Dr., McCleansville, N.C 27301
This sounds fishy, but I can’t see the downside. Should i deposit the check and follow the instructions?
