Initially was contacted by email presenting and opportunity to make extra cash and requested information: name (First & last), address, and phone number.

Text was sent as their chose communication.

After communicating back and forth (Unfortunately I did not do any investigation or research on the so called business) and gave the info requested, picked up packet with instructions and check at Post Office, proceeded to follow instructions, brought it to my bank to deposit the check per instructions, the teller said it will be held for 7 days, I showed her the letter of the instructions and was told I would need to get the assignment done within 24 hours if I was to gain the bonus money, the teller went to her supervisor and inquired about the letter and check, she then came back and educated me and said she scanned the check and it was not legitimate, and the letter&check was a scam, and educated on what to look for on a check to show that the check is legitimate and to know any legitimate business knows a check with a large amount to deposit will have a holding period for the check.

See he pics of check and letter of instructions that was enclosed in the packet.
