Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
Contacted by Amanda White to participate in an evaluation focus group for a payment of $300. Sent my address. Got a cashiers check from the Boeing Employees Credit Union for $2430. Sent an email confirming receipt of the check. Got another email from Amanda telling me to cash the check, keep $300 for the fee and $200 for expenses and return $1790 via MoneyGram to Wilmer Hayes, 16215 Air Cargo Rd. Set 201, Seats, WA 98158. I was to observe the level of customer service at the MoneyGram office and then respond via a questionnaire that I would receive after I sent info about the money transfer. Check looked suspicious: routing/transit number lookup did not return any hits. Called the BECU and was told the check was bogus. Looked up the jcslogistics website and the addresses didn’t match. Pretty complex for a scam, but still…
