    I’m so happy I checked this offer for scam reports. Thank you for giving me my info. If it’s too good to be true it’s a scam. I just received same offer from a John Kenet. Email sent telling me I was approved and check and instructions arriving.

      I just got this in my text for 450 a week for 6 months. Thanks for the info

  • December 16, 2018 at 10:53 AM by an anonymous user from: Stone Mountain, Georgia, United States

    I received all of the same info as mentioned above by others, and I’ve asked the scammers if I could just cash the check at Walmart or another banking institution other than my own and they are insisting that I cash at my bank (1 of many red flags).

    I certainly don’t plan on following their plans, but may try to see if I can cash the check with a bank other than my own or in some sort of way that it doesn’t come back to me or my account(s), only so that I can get the money and they get nothing, but if not, I’ll just use the checks to start a fire in my fireplace or backyard fire pit or the like.

    I’m smart enough to know this is a scam, but also would like to hit the scammers how they’re doing so many others. Any thoughts or ideas about how to cash the checks without it biting me in the a*s or taking funds from any of my accounts?

    If not, then oh well, but I’m certainly not going to be scammed by these douchebags but just wanted to see if there’s a way I can hurt them without pinching myself in the process. Thx!

He is supposed to send me more instructions once I get the check. I just curious of how they get the money or what ever they are looking for. I will not give them personal information at all.

    So my question is does apple know about the scam?

  • March 25, 2018 at 11:14 AM by an anonymous user from: Atlanta, Georgia, United States

    So I have an acquaintance that legitimately gets paid to drive around in a Skittles wrapped car. So I searched out who does this and found said apple logo advertisement company. Got a $2,000.00 check in the mail sent from Costco in North Carolina, but the check was from a transport company in Utah. The routing and account numbers match up but the check is a pretty good fake.

    So now I'm currently conversing over text message with them while I wait to contact the two companies and the sheriff tomorrow. The scam number is 317-210-3598. Sad how many scams there are. If they put that effort I to being a productive member of society, how much better would we be?

  • March 17, 2018 at 3:35 PM by an anonymous user from: Bedminster, New Jersey, United States

    I received that text on my iPhone about advertising the iphone8. The check came by FedEx. It had the guidestone financial resources and their actual address in Texas on the check. I am familiar with them, they are a huge Christian based financial network. So, I mobile deposited it since I use bank of america and it was drawn on them.

    I put it in savings. I have enough money in there to cover it, so it was given immediate credit. Some guy called me and texted me or days and harrassed me to send money to these so called specialists. I knew it was a scam then. I did nothing with the money, of course, it bounced.

    The bank charged me $12.00. When I called they refunded the $12.00 and advised me to take the check to the police. Since i have the physical check. It appalls me that they are using a christian organizations name to commit this fraud. Be advised everyone. They got nothing but a text about being a scammer. Never heard from him again. Fooled that time. I was to smart for him.

    sounded good though!

    Have a great day!

    I received a check for 1,950. Telling me to take out 550 and send the rest through Walmart so that the person putting the logo on my car can get the rest of the money. Did anybody do this actually got the 550 and drive their car? And did this and receive another check the following week got that. Next 550 check from apple.

    How can we prosecute these people?

    • June 12, 2017 at 11:48 AM by info

      We will have to find them first, which is usually very difficult because they are using technology to cover their tracks.

    I just received three MoneyGram in the amount of $990.00 from Matthew Snodgrass. and was asked to text him when they were deposited to my checking account... what do I do now?

    I should have looked this up before... can he get into my cell phone as I did send him a text.

    • May 24, 2017 at 11:44 AM by info

      No, he cannot get into your cell phone. You may destroy the checks or report them to your local authority.

  • May 22, 2017 at 10:44 AM by an anonymous user from: Blountville, Tennessee, United States

    Just signed up for this and today received three $990 each money orders to deposit into my account. With just a typed letter. I took photos of everything for documentation. Think the email showed up in my email.

    I'm highly upset considering how broke and hard we are having it currently living on a fixed income, SSI. Seemed too good to be true. I have everything here, what should I do with the items? Didn't seem legit to have to mess with my bank account. Made me suspicious.

    • May 27, 2017 at 8:19 PM by an anonymous user from: Modesto, California, United States

      I received the 3 money orders today for $990 each. I have no intention of cashing them. The way it came is very suspicious to me. Not sure what I am going to do. But I am not going to cash them.

    Yep, totally fake. I applied for a job on a website on seen on FB. The site must be compromised and the scammers got my info. I thought it was legit because I had applied through a site on FB. Was all excited because I need the added income. Got my fake check yesterday and am so disappointed. Beware of sites even if it's through FB. Either the site is totally fake or they are legit, just hacked. Not too happy about my info floating around out there. 👎👎👎👎👎
