Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
First I got a text saying my Survey Assignment was on its way. I paid no attention to that. Then I received a Priority Mail envelope with a cashiers check for $2900.42 from St. Louis Community Credit Union. I was told to deposit it, and keep $400 as payment and then go to Walmart and buy 5 $500 gift cards. I was to peel the scratch-off the area of the card and send photos of the fronts and backs of each card to the email address they gave as well as 1. store I visited, 2. time I visited 3. name of cashier, 4. friendliness, 5. how long the transaction took. I looked up scams before I did anything and saw that most ask people to send back the "overpayment" whereas this one just wants you to buy gift cards and then send that info back.
