Scammer's email[email protected] CountryUnited States Victim LocationWI 53212, USA Type of a scamFake Check/Money Order
I received a check in the mail in the amount of $1,666.00. Along with the check was a letter telling me "This check is from PURE-CX to complete your survey assignment, As soon as you receive this check please contact your respective independent supervisor via email ([email protected]/[email protected]) for further instructors." After emailing them to let them know I had received the check and get more info about the job it was emailed back with instructions. The instruction told me to deposit the check into my checking account and let them know when I have done so. I was also told that there was a fund restriction on the check to prevent unauthorized cashing and that it would be lifted once I emailed to let them know that I had deposited the check. Then the letter went on to say that after depositing the check and contacting them they would make the funds avaliable for me to withdraw. Once I withdrew the funds I was to go to walmart and perform two separate transactions both for walmart gift cards each for $500 a piece. Then I was told to take a photo of the reciepts and to scratch off the security strip on the back of each gift card and send it to them. THAT'S WHERE THE RED FLAG RAISED so I did some digging and found out it was a scam and contacted them back through email and told them they were scamming people and just like I figured no one ever answered my emails again. I am just so happy I did my digging and not went through with this.

Victim Location22734 Total money lost$2,660 Type of a scamFake Check/Money Order
I received an email from a co-worker regarding part time work. I participated in a survey in evaluating numerous of businesses. They sent me special instructions on cashing the check and completing the survey. I cashed the check on Friday to find out a week later that the check was fake. I have tried numerous of times to reach out to the scammer. Also, my bank will not reverse the payments and said I am responsible for the negative balance. I am highly upset and this is my first time being that I know mystery shoppers part time jobs are real. I would greatly appreciate it if someone was to help me get my money back that was lost and catch these scammers.
