Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I received a priority mail envelope with a postal money order (not sure if it is real or not) for $1000. The instructions say to take to my bank and cash the check then go to Walmart purchase $20 worth of merchandise that is mine to keep, retain $150 as my fee, and use Walmart RIA Transfer, or Western Union, or Money Gram to send fund to Ray Slimy, Kilgore, TX 75663. It says to pay the required fees and send all of the remainder of the money to Ray. I was to report on several items regarding the service at Walmart. The things that most concerned me was that I was to say I knew Ray Slimy and he is a member of my family–he is NOT!! The second concern is that it is signed "Regards, PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW ANY OTHER INSTRUCTIONS. THANKS AND GOD BLESS.. I can’t believe any legitimate company would sign any communication in that way. Please let me know if this is a true scenario or not. I have the postal money order and letter available to scan or photograph
