Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

Fake shopper scam. They send you a check. Ask you to deposit it in your account. You take it all out, but leave $400 for yourself. You are instructed to go buy Gift Cards at places such as Best Buy, Target, Walgreen’s, etc. Then you take photo’s of cards with the numbers and send to them. Their check bounces and they use the gift cards. Variation of an old trick.

The quality of the mailing was very poor with bad grammar. Have to assume they are foreigners. It was so bad it was an obvious scam. Yet I couldn’t find any direct accusations online about Ardent Services. They are likely quite adept online because they found me and probably are able to somehow hide negative online comments.
