I’m addition, the check was drawn on Suncoast Credit Union from Tampa, Florida.A one page set of instructions were included to take the check for $2630.00 and deposit it into my personal checking or savings account. After making the deposit I was to then text to number (424)294-8245, or email to [email protected], to confirm that I cashed or deposited the check into my bank account. With the $2630.00 I was to go to a Walmart and purchase two (2) Wal-Mart gift cards for face value of $500 each.
