Star Bucks Marking / Advertising Group

Victim Location 97814

Total money lost $3,300

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

Jason Brown (artificial name)-Scammers initial post and ad on-line for car wrap advertising, then emailed me to see if I was interested in getting $500 a week for Starbuck Wrapping Advertising using my own car. After I accepted and emailed him the contact, phone, email address, he fed-ex me a live check for $3829.99 saying I need to deposit the check within 48 hours or the check will be cancelled and text him the deposit. After I deposited the check and texted him, he asked me to contact Jason James (who could be the same person as Jason Brown) supposed to be the person to handle the wrap and request to wire the $3300 for the car wrap fees. The trick (that most people including myself) that the Bank will put the money in saying the check has been cleared and the fund is ready to use. The reality is the check has not been clear and the fund was there temporarily while the bank still processing the check (even if I asked the Bank if the check was ok and clear to use the fund-don’t believe your own bank). I did on-line transfer to Jason James for $3300 thru Zelle (they also use cashapp) and a few days later my bank came back saying the check for $3829.99 deposit was bad and bounced. My research per Fed Ex package was shipped from Houston Texas, phone number from Jason Brown is from Virginia and Jason James is from Oregon. This is a cell network and committed crime. The bank does not support you no matter what you tell them.
