Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
Hudson Control Solutions based in Sacramento contacted us to plan their event in Los Angeles. They sent us a check from their Sponsor which has turned out to be fraudulent and they had us wire money internationally to the talent management company to pay for Speakers that were supposed to be involved in the event. Everything they created about the company, their website, the event and all the details we have learned to be fake and are part of very experienced group of check/wire transfer scammers. The event was supposed to be this weekend and they abruptly cancelled the event yesterday which was alarming to us. This made us dig deeper to find a blog post from last week where other event planners explained the exact same situation we are facing.
