Yes just received this , looked it up and it’s a scam:(
got a call from bank today, deposited check yesterday. so I just looked this up, they got me 1550 dollars. I dont know how im gonna pay this back. I figured the bank would know if check was real
Paul Hendley contacted me about 4 months ago and he never answered my questions. I told them I would not pay to have my car wrapped, they would have to pay for it.Today I received a suspicious looking check in the mail that said to send an email stating my name, check number and amount. I did it from a friends email. Then four hours later sent me instructions to deposit check right away and get my car wrapped and send the rest back to him.I actually couldn’t read the text, it was so badly written. Then went online found the article of the fraud; took a picture of the article and sent it to him. Now I m waiting to see if he answers!
