Sli Minski ooooo this is excellent. Do you know I immediately they are fake? What are your tips for spotting fakes?

@@tommytrc I can spot them right off the bat now. They're always from out-of-state companies. They're always in an amount around 2,500 to $3,500. And they have a certain look to them. The last three I got looked exactly the same except for thedifferent company names. They run this as a secret shopper scam but they're also trying it out on people who are selling things on Craigslist.

Sli Minski what if it’s a check of less money. They’re sending me one for 400$. Still the same scam I’m guessing

@@oblongfan1 the secret shopper scam has been going on for quite some time now, 10 to 15 years, and they've definitely evolved. At a lot of places larger checks are more heavily scrutinized than smaller ones. They probably think that with a smaller check the odds of someone cashing it are greater.

I just got a text message at 7:30am here in California from a “Henry Thorpe” with a Texas area code saying that he has a job for me. I googled the website and saw that it was a secret shopper gig. I’m cool. I don’t know who this person really is but, I will now place a block on that number. Be on the lookout for: “momentum customer metrics .com” 🤦🏽‍♀️ I don’t trust it🤷🏽‍♀️

Are people still dumb enough to fall for this? Jesus, people, wake up.

I just got one in the mail. I didn't know what to do!

So welcome. I hope it helps you keep safe!

My husband literally just deposited his scam check yesterday but the funds wont be there till tomorrow. So I take it he should just leave it be and talk to the bank correct? And the funny thing is the name on the check was the name of a company called All Stat portable llc which is a real company. All of thos gives me a headache.

Tear it up!

I had a variation on the same scam...but instead of a bank check it was post office checks...but the same deal...so what i did was researched the name and address of the person that sent me the check and i couldnt find the person . i have an account with 2 services that locates people and do background checks...so when i couldnt find them i went to the post office and asked them to look at the checks...even though they looked official they were fakes...so i went to the police dept. and contacted the better business bureau and gave them the info about the company...oh and my girlfriend had gotten checks too to do the same thing...i put us both on the application....lol

John Rich how did you recover your money? My bank is being unreasonable :(

I dont know if you'll see this but a friend of mine was sent something similar to this just today (5/18/2019). It's supposed to be Amazon she's supposed to buy Amazon gift cards from retailers blah blah blah. The difference is she was sent a U.S. Post office money order for the amount of 985 dollars. It is printed out and everything but it is not made out to her or have her address on it. On top of that she doesn't even have a bank account. So she's planning on cashing it at one of those 1% check cashing places. So what I'm asking is if she's being scammed? Especially since there is no way it will be deposited and it's a money order not a check? Any help would be appreciated

Jack Crow hello, thanks for reaching out. The check cashing place should spot this forgery in a NY minute! They are trained to spot such things. I would be shocked if they don’t. I’m sure this is a scam. If it doesn’t feel right..it’s a scam. I would go in knowing it’s fake and ask the people there their opinion on it. They will know. If you try to pull one over on the, then you are at fault and could get in trouble.

Contact your bank or credit union immediately. There maybe hope but it’s a long shot.

I would get the fake cards from Walmart and scratch them and send the email😂

What happens if you deposit bit don’t take out the money? This way if it bounces nothing happens on your end...

You are correct. The check will indeed bounce. The scammer is hoping you will withdraw the month BEFORE your bank finds out and then dings you the entire amount of the check.
