Description

I received a Priority Mail 2-Day package from Burban Reserve Inc., 21524 Hillside Ave, Queens Village, NY 11427 (Tracking #9505511371415721714591). Inside was a letter titled Whole Foods Market Customer Service Evaluation Assignment and a check for $1,793.62. Instructions told me to deposit the check, buy $1,300 in Foot Locker gift cards, then send photos of the codes to [email protected] or text 828-316-1633, promising a $300 bonus. This is clearly a fake check / gift card scam using Whole Foods’ name without authorization.
