Description

Sometime in 2024, I got a message from an individual through Facebook. We became friends. He asked me to do some phone work for him, which I did. He said he would send a check which I could deposit into my account. I should deposit it into my account, and withdraw money against it is my pay. The check was for $10,000.00. I did not withdraw any money. Three - four weeks later I called the bank to ask about the check, and was assured the money was in my account. About four weks later I received a letter saying the check was fake, and my account would be closed if I deposited another fake check. The next week, when I called to check on it, and learned the check had gone back to the bank from which it came. The teller hesiated to talk to me. The teller said they suspected money laundering was involved. I was told I was on a second chance. I said I did not understand what a second chance was, and she went on to explain that a second chance meant if I were to deposit another fake check, my account would be closed. In April 2025, another person sent me a check because a person's parents died, a will was set up and he couldn't get the money until terms were met. He had his attorney email me a check. The check contained account numbers, routing number, everything. I was told to sign the back of the check and enter it through the ATM, which I did. The next day, I called to ask about the check, and they said the check I had deposited was fake, and my account had been closed. They said I would receive a letter in the mail with a reason, but I did not. On another note, Walmart entered me into the Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes. And I received a check to deposit to cover my fees. I took the check into the bank. The letter which came with the check was from Canada. The teller told me it was fake, so I didn't deposit it. But the calls continue, saying they want to deliver the money and the truck.
