Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I got an Elaine to earn $ as a Secret Shopper. I requested information. Instead , 2 days later I got a large check which included a $350 amount for me. I was to go to Walmart, and purchase several large amount($400) gift cards. All in one day. Then I was to scratch off the numbers on the back of the cards, and report them to George Wellington. Although it was a cashiers check drawn on Security National Bank, I decided to deposit the check thru my mobile banking.
The check was held and not deposited. It was a holiday weekend, so it didn’t surprise me it was held over for a few days. When I called one week later to see what the problem was, I found out the account the cashiers check was from, had been closed. Lucky me that I didn’t cash it , and purchase the gift cards.
