Randolph Brooks Federeal Credit Union RBFCU Reports & Reviews

Randolph Brooks Federeal Credit Union RBFCU Reports & Reviews (4)

I was selling a pair of shoes on PoshMark. They contacted me regarding my shoes. Long story short they ended up sending me a "check" For the payment which was $1,580 when the shoes were only $60. Came in an envelope with a paper stating to text a number with check information. They claimed it was a mistake and tried to direct me me around for the next couple days to get the money cashed ASAP. Very unprofessional. Very annoying. Very FAKE. They began asking me to send money back in advance to the check being cashed for their "daughters" drugs! What! Immediately I knew something wasn't right but they went far trying to get what they could. Needless to say the check never cleared the multiple places I've tried. I blocked them and now I'm here to further inform others whatever I know. Be careful!

Along with a fake Certified Check for $1,990.44 dated 12/04/2020 made out to me with the RBFCU Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union, P.O. Box 2097, Universal City TX 78146-2097 in the top left corner of the check. I took it to Walmart while I waited to hear back from the real Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union on if this was another scam, and asked them in customer service if they knew anything about checks like this and multiple employees in customer service said that they had cashed checks like mine recently. But their machines wouldn't read the one sent to me. I finally got a call back from the actual credit union and I explained to them that I was trying to verify the legitimacy or illegitimacy of this check that was sent to me claiming to be from them. Where they finally ran the check number for me and confirmed what I had already figured before I had even gone into Walmart...that it was indeed a fake.
