I just received a legitimate FedEx package directed to do the above. The check looks real, the bank is real and the company appears to be real. I researched all and then they started to send text to me. Of course, right off the bat, it seemed suspicious. Thanks for your information and please be careful out there. People are so desperate we are ready to believe anything.

This a scam. When I wrote that I wanted to check with the Crest company to see if this was a real thing, I got no response. So I wrote, is that okay with you and the person on the other end sent me a message back with a vulgar comment. So yes! this is a scam.

I received a similar email as well. I presumed its fake with the instructions the email directed you to follow and went online to check the name of the sender out. The search links me to this site which confirmed my suspicion. Thanks
