Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I received a manilla envelope in the mail today via Fedex. The sender is listed as Earl Seltzer Inc. Inside is a printed check made out to me for $3899.00. The check appears to be from Triad Municipal Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, 3127 Starlight Drive, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, 27107-4141. The bank is listed as Capital Bank, Winston-Salem, NC. The check is dated 3/5/2019. Also inside the envelope is a printed list of instructions to text a number (802-532-3236) and provide the following information to "proceed to the next process": Full Name, Amount on the check, the check #, contact email, alternative cell phone #. The next process states to deposit the check and text the phone number again providing: funds availability/ disclosure date, deposit slip or receipt picture, amount available for withdrawal.
The letter is signed by the "Payment Secure Department."
