Target Survey Job

Victim Location 43123

Type of a scam Employment

They send you an email stating that they found you on a website looking for jobs and say that you can make $400+ per survey you do. They direct you to a website that looks very realistic for the job they say you will be doing and then ask for your address and phone number. Then they send you a text to state that you have been selected and to watch your mail for your instructions. Once you get those instructions you are asked to text and email them the word Location. They also send you a check for $2945 with your instructions. they tell you that you are to cash it or make a next day deposit into your account. You can keep $400 for your services, then you are to go to your designated store and buy 5 Reloadit packs of $500 each, for a total of $2500. It never states that you have to send the Reloadit cards to them, it actually states that you are to keep the reloadit packs as they will be used for subsequent evaluations.

I called to bank in which the cashier’s check was written out of to check to see if it was a scam. The first number I called stated the money for the check was in the account, but they could not verify at that time if the funds were going to be available when I cashed the check and that it would be up to the bank whether or not they would cash it. so the next morning I called the bank itself to verify the check.. The gentleman I talked to asked some details about the check and then verified it was a bad/scam check.
