Decal on the car, check in your hand
I received a priority package, open it and a 1 pg letter accompanied by a $2792.00 check. the bank is real, the company that is printed on the check is real. the company that is printed on the letter however cannot be found. Instructions say cash check by depositing it in your personal checking account keep $750 as your payment the rest goes to the decal installer that will somehow magically meet you anywhere you choose. I'll receive $750 a week for the next 12 weeks. again magically the installer will meet you and remove the decal from your car. so, anyone wanna take a guess what actually happens?? anyone who has been through this scam please let me know what your experience was!

It's sad because I have to save my mom from scams all the time because she struggles with money and at the moment I do as well, but she goes online to try to find ways to make money and it always ends up being a scam! I hate people that scam others especially with the promise of making you money, it's just so cruel there's people that struggle even in the US that are trying to earn money online since current job opportunities are low where I'm based at.. but I feel so bad for my mom, over and over again I watch her have high hopes about this stuff and I keep having to break the bad news to her that it's a scam and I have to watch her hopes get crushed.. but this scam was especially one she was very excited for and the second she told me about it I instantly researched it and what do you know it's just another scam but this particular one ruins lives bad and targets people who already dont have much money as it is, so I'm grateful that I stopped her from cashing that check because she really wanted to cash it and if she did it would've completely made her life so much harder, so yeah just rip the check and throw it away, hell go do a F scammer ritual with it and burn it too!!

I had a guy years ago who just went to a check-cashing store and cashed it. But he didn't give them the money; he used to do it all the time. Those who sent it were Nigerians; it's an old scam! It was funny to me because they met an American scammer who scammed them right back, lol. But I wouldn't do it because he had a false ID, so they couldn't trace it back. If you take your own ID, you would start a paper trail right to the police, and go to jail.

The first thing I would do is take the check to your bank and have them verify whether the check is valid or not. If it is a valid check, the next step is to put it into your savings account and put a hold on it for the amount of time the bank suggests plus two weeks to see if it clears. The chances are that it's either a fraudulent check or that it won't clear. DO NOT SPEND any of it until it clears. I would also report it to the police. If it's legit, you can have a clear conscience. if it's not, you won't be on the hook for any of it. If you don't touch it and it doesn't clear, the bank will debit it from your account. No harm, no foul.

unless your an idiot, it's an obvious scam. Do you know them? How do they know you? Why would they send a total stranger a check and say keep $750? Did the letter address you by name? Want to make them dissappear? You said they would meet you anywhere, right. Tell them you will meet them at your local police dept. Give them the name and address of your police department . Say, th8s will protect both of you from fraud. i guarantee you about 2/3 weeks after you deposit the check, the bank will says its a fraudulent check and want 100% of the money back.
