The letter came with instructions, I took it to my bank and I texted this Patrick Francis guy and told him they had a hold on the check. Thankfully my bank caught the scam and sent the check back stating the check was altered/fictitious. I did my research and came across this post…sure enough it’s a scam!!!

The letter screams FRAUD!! Do your research. Patrick Francis is the contact person (480-934-7625) to “text” after depositing the check. These people are getting better however, it’s not enough to not fall for it. I’m taking this to my bank and also call the PNC Bank listed on the check to report it.an anonymous userhttps://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/users/#an-anonymous-userJun 5, 2024 by Smart Water Decal Scam Car Wrap Advertisement and Fake Checkan anonymous user from: Los Angeles, California, United StatesGot a check in the mail for Smartwater auto decal, in the amount of $3485.33, with instructions to deposit the check and who to contact after deposit is made. Both the instruction letter and the check are sketchy and I’m sure it’s a scam. The letter is not on company letterhead paper, the logo is out of focus or blurred, and the wording is poor, unprofessional. The check looks legit but has a badly pixilated signature, no reference to Smatwater or what this payment is for in “Memo” section, no phone number under address of payer nor for the bank it’s written from. Who, what agency do I report this too? What should I do with the check - rip it up and trash or give it to my bank as fraud so they can investigate it?I use my iPad for everything and I realize I clicked on something that initiated this scam.
