Description
was contacted by someone claiming to need painting work done. They said they found my information and wanted to hire me for a painting project. The person claimed they would pay upfront by mailing a check and said I could begin the job once I received it. The check amount was higher than the agreed project cost. The scammer then asked me to deposit the check and forward part of the funds to a “supplier” or “assistant.” This raised red flags, so I investigated further and discovered this was a fake check scam targeting painters and small contractors. The phone number they used was (407) 436-4917, and they mentioned a business name possibly connected to USMart Logistics LLC, which has been reported in similar scams. I did not deposit the check or send any money.
