Victim Location 70785
Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
Receive what seemed like a legit email from Survey Monkey, with Walmart name. Was told was to do a shopping survey. I week or so later I received another email confirming that I wanted to do it and told me to watch my mail. Two days later I received a check for $1800. It told me to deposit it in my account and wait 24 hours and then deduct $300 for my time and then buy something for no more than $50, noting cashiers name and every thing about her. Then told me to wire $1450 to a Patricia Filoteo, Bakersville, CA. It told me if they asked if I knew her to say yes. Then I was to take the number and email and text it to [email protected] and text to (707)403-2336. It made sure to tell me not to alert anyone of what I was doing.
Just allsounded creepy. I let my police officer husband read it and he said check BBB, sure enough several of the same type of complaint just different names.
I tore up the check and will have nothing further to do with these people.
