Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I recieved a text requiring a secret shopper. Within 2 days I was delivered the first check of $2350 and told to deposit it into an active checking account, then purchase 5 gift cards of $200 each from the local Walmart Supercenter, $50 for misc expenses and $300 for my payment of doing the assignment. I was told to scratch off the silver strip to reveal the 16 digit code, take a picture and send to [email protected] ONLY.
I recieved a 2nd check 2 days later for $2350. I was instructed to go to the local Walmart Supercenter and purchase 3 gift cards, each valued at $400, the proceed to a second Walmart Supercenter and purchase 2 more gift cards $400 each, and keep $350 for payment to me for completed assignments. I’m to take a picture of those gift cards after scratching off the silver strip and send by text to [email protected]
NOTE: I’m attching pica of both Priority Mail envelopes and the letters included within since they’re from different senders. I also have the letters and checks but could only attach one image. Please let me know where I can send additional images. Thank you.
